I-Que set to launch in August

Submit July and August wage reports in I-Que by September 15

Easier-to-use and more useful I-Que replaces ICON August 18. All employers must file wage reports and pay contributions monthly beginning with July’s report.

Each month’s wage report and contribution payment will be due by the 15th of the following month. However, because of the timing of I-Que’s start-up, IPERS will delay the July wage reporting and contribution payment deadline. The wage reports and contribution payments for both July and August will be due on September 15, 2008. This is a one-time extension for the month of July only.

With I-Que, you can use electronic funds transfer, allowing you to pay from multiple accounts and set up future payments.

Attend training

Training on how to use I-Que starts soon, and you can choose from the following:

• Classes providing hands-on experience in July across the state, with some evening sessions available.
• Online sessions using the phone and high-speed Internet from any location.
• Self-led tutorials on IPERS’ Web site.

All IPERS reporting officials should have received a registration form. You can print a copy from the Training page of the Employers section on IPERS’ Web site.

Test your report
Test the format of your wage report now by mailing a CD to IPERS to the attention of Jim Burke. Include your organization’s name and IPERS employer ID number, and your contact information. Within a couple of weeks, we will let you know the results of your test.

Reference a new manual
IPERS will mail every reporting official an I-Que User Guide. Copies will also be provided to those who are not reporting officials who register for hands-on training and online training. The guide will be available online once published.

Use the HelpDesk
You will be able to call a HelpDesk with your I-Que questions starting July 1. IPERS will provide a special toll-free number just for employers. The number will be available July 1 on IPERS’ Web site, at I-Que training, and in future publications.

IPERS Employer Bulletin 2007-3 addresses I-Que. It was mailed to all employers in October 2007.
