Employer Update

Looking for the best way to bring employees up to speed on VRS? The VRS Member Guideis one of our most-requested member publications, and it can be a great resource to help familiarize new employees with their retirement plan and principal benefits.

What is it? An easy-to-reference booklet that briefly describes each VRS plan, principal benefits and how to contact VRS. Order your copies today.

Readers will find directions to online resources and instructions for setting up their myVRS accounts or voluntary and deferred compensation contributions. The guide includes a timeline for acting on other benefits, such as purchasing prior service and signing up for optional group life insurance, if eligible.

How do I use it? Share the VRS Member Guide with all covered employees at orientation sessions. Use it to quickly highlight their available benefits and important action steps to take. The guide is also a great refresher for established employees or those returning to VRS-covered positions.

Watch this Member Guide overview for more information, and feel free to share the video with employees to expand their knowledge of VRS benefits.
