Employer Notice – Penalties Resuming March 11, 2019

Ohio law requires SERS to impose reporting and payment penalties for lateness.

However, due to the launch of the new eSERS system and technical issues, reporting and payment penalties were temporarily suspended.

Beginning March 11, 2019, SERS will begin applying penalties again.

A penalty is assessed whenever reporting is late, payment is late, or the payment remittance is missing.

For a more detailed description of reporting and payment penalties, refer to the Penalties page or view the Special Notice sent March 4, 2019.
