OP&F’s “Push to Paperless” results in efficiency of employer reporting

In June 2023, OP&F began a campaign to transition all employer partners to paperless reporting and payment of contributions due to the pension fund by the end of the year. While most OP&F employers were already submitting reports and payments electronically, a few are still in the process of completing the transition. We expect near 100 percent compliance in the near future.

By November 2023, 131 of the 139 employers who were identified had transitioned to paperless reporting and payment. By the end of 2023, the final two employers were scheduled to complete the process. OP&F appreciates the cooperation of our employers during this campaign. As of the end of January, OP&F anticipates no employer penalties for late reporting.
