When personnel changes occur at one of OP&F’s nearly 750 employers, it could result in a new payroll officer. The person in this position, or one similarly named, would be responsible for reporting information and making payments to OP&F. Whenever there is a change in contact information involving the primary payroll contact, it is vital that this is reported promptly to OP&F.
This notification will enable OP&F to contact the new payroll staff so set up training. It will also help OP&F to avoid attempts to contact a person that is no longer employed. If OP&F does not have current contact information, efforts to obtain needed payroll information or payments will be hindered. All too often, penalties result when the current contact information is unavailable.
The Employer Information form is available for employers to notify OP&F of payroll personnel changes quickly and efficiently. The form contains sections on primary contact information including name, address, job title, phone, fax, and email. There is also a section on secondary contact information, if applicable.
Keeping OP&F current on payroll reporting contacts will enhance efficiency and ease the transition whenever there is turnover in reporting personnel. The Employer Information form is available on the OP&F website under Employers/Forms/Employer Information. The completed form can be downloaded then faxed or emailed to OP&F. When notifying OP&F of a new payroll officer, please let us know if the previous payroll officer has left employment or moved to another position.
