Leading the Way: Employer Strategies for State Retirement Compliance


Understanding the complexities of state retirement reporting can be both challenging and risky—for employers and employees alike. Mistakes may jeopardize employee retirement benefits and be costly for employers. In this session, the presenters will explore key issues and updates shared over the past year by the California State Teachers’ Retirement System (CalSTRS) and the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS).
