If the employer contribution is not paid through the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce’s (DEW) Foundation Program, the employer must remit the payment to SERS no later than five business days after each pay date in eSERS.

Community Schools are required to use the DEW Foundation Program to pay employer liabilities.

Payment of employer contributions for employers using the DEW’s Foundation Program are always considered on time.
