Overview

To be presented by MTRS Employer Services representatives in our Cambridge and Springfield office meeting rooms, this year's program is a shorter, updated version of last summer's all-day training seminar. In this three-hour program, we will cover the basic functions and “how-to”s of MyTRS. The program will be a refresher for anyone who attended last year’s seminars, and a solid, to-the-point overview for new representatives and for those who were unable to attend the 2010 programs.

You will learn how to:

  • Get started (log in, navigate, view and update records)
  • Register new employees
  • Submit your deduction payment electronically
  • Report your employees’ retirement deductions
  • Access the updated Guided Practices and Resource Guides

Who should attend

You should be sure to attend if you are involved in submitting monthly deduction reports and payments, or registering new employees in the MTRS, and you:
  • did not attend one of the original MyTRS training seminars last summer,
  • have had difficulty using MyTRS or submitting your deduction reports,
  • have specific questions that you'd like to ask to one of our Employer Services representatives in person, or
  • simply want to receive a refresher on how to use the system.

Important notes

The program runs from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., with the doors opening for registration at 8:30 a.m.

  • Pre-registration is required: You must register online at least 10 days before the program date.
  • Special needs: If you have special needs as far as accessibility, please let us know in advance so that we can arrange to make your participation as convenient and comfortable as possible.
