If the employee is coming from a district that participates in the ESSDACK 403(b) notify Jesse Piercy at Jpiercy@tppkc.com of the transfer and TPP will make the change on their system.
To initiate a transfer from a non-ESSDACK 403(b) account, please contact Luke McKee at lmckee@compassfr.us

Compensation is defined as the total compensation paid to an employee during a Plan Year that is subject to income tax (i.e. all compensation reported on an employee’s W2 form) It includes any salary reduction contributions to any plan or arrangement maintained by the district and any cash an employee receives in lieu of group health insurance.

Instruct employees to log into their account. They will see what they are currently contributing and will have options to make changes to what is being withheld. Any changes will be communicated to the local school district and to Ameritime.
Most districts will have the reports generated and emailed to them on the last day of each month. However, a few districts have payrolls very early in the month and their reports will be generated on a slightly earlier cycle. The courtesy emails are generated at the same time the report is prepared and posted to the website.
This one is easy – handle this part just like you previously would with the paper forms! You simply enter the deferral changes in your payroll system for the participants with change requests, so that the new deferral matches what is on the report – both in type (Pretax vs Roth) and in amount (or percentage).
The deferral change report ACH report covers the time period from the beginning of the prior month through the report generation date, so that the reports will always overlap by one month in order to help make sure that if by chance you would miss a request one month, you will be able to catch it the next month.

Ideally, deferral changes are updated by you in your payroll system on the 1st payroll following when you receive the request, but should absolutely be entered no later than the 2nd payroll following the request.
The contributions should be remitted with the payroll in which they were withheld. Therefore, if July and August payroll is paid in June, withholdings for July and August should be remitted with the June payroll remittance.
You will select the appropriate payroll period when submitting your data online.
The district will receive an amortization and repayment schedule. It will include the payment date and the payment amount. Payments should be withheld from the employee’s check and remitted according to that schedule.
