Employer Reporting Requirements 2026
Thank you for sharing your needs and wishes for a next-generation PERS reporting tool. This questionnaire gathers data about how you report demographic and payroll information to PERS, what new features would help you report better, and what current Employer Data Exchange (EDX) functionality causes you the most delay and frustration.
All questions are required.
If you are responsible for more than one employer in EDX, please fill out this survey based on the largest employer you support
.
If you have questions or additional information to share, please email the PERS Product Owner Team: Product.Owner.Team@pers.oregon.gov
