New Employer Contact
You've found it! This is the best place to start when you're a new KPERS Employer Contact.

Welcome to the KPERS Team!
What is a Employer Contact
A Employer Contact is an employee from a KPERS-affiliated employer who is a liaison between the Retirement System and his or her employer. A Employer Contact's main responsibility is to relay Retirement System information to members and perform transactions using the employer web portal (EWP). For more info, visit the employer manual section Designated Agent.
Distributing Information
The Retirement System will provide Employer Contacts with information to relay to KPERS members. Retirement System changes can affect members on a day-to-day basis, so it’s important to distribute member information in a timely manner.
Examples include:
Legislation affecting a member's retirement planning
Notice of upcoming KPERS information meetings
Open enrollment and other timely emails
Member annual statements
What you send to us?
In order to stay up to date and accurate with members' KPERS accounts, we rely on YOU to send us information. This includes payroll information along with other items.
