Tenn. Code Ann. § 8-37-506: Electronic transmission of contributions and reports

Effective for the payroll period ending July 1, 2011, or on such later date as the state treasurer may otherwise provide, the contributions described in this part shall be paid by the employer to the retirement division by electronic funds transfer. The payroll data associated with such electronically transferred contributions shall be filed with the division concurrent with the contributions through such electronic medium as shall be prescribed by the treasurer. The director of the retirement system may waive the requirement to submit such contributions or payroll data by electronic means for employers that are unable to comply despite good faith efforts or due to circumstances beyond the employer's reasonable control.
