When you report to NYSLRS, you upload and submit an enhanced report file or use the manual reporting process using the Reporting Dashboard in Retirement Online. You may use either method; one method may be more convenient for you depending on the data you need to submit.

If you choose to upload a report file, your file must be formatted as a pipe-delimited Text file (*.txt). This reporting format accepts regular reports, adjustments and enrollments all in one file.

Use our Enhanced Reporting Excel Tool to format your data and automatically generate a file that’s compatible with enhanced reporting (a pipe-delimited Text file) for uploading to Retirement Online.
