  • PETRA - A web-based method for transmittal reporting. PETRA instructions are here.

  • Encryption

    • Employers MUST encrypt transmittal files that are e-mailed to PERSI in order to protect confidential data. If you use IRIS or PETRA, they encrypt the files for you. If you don't use IRIS or PETRA, you must use encryption when e-mailing your transmittal files to PERSI.

    • PERSI currently supports GPG (GnuPG for Windows) for file encryption. It's a free file encryption solution.

      Prior to using GPG, PERSI supported PGP 7.1. PERSI will continue to provide support for employers using this older software, but please note that it fails to operate in Windows operating systems newer than Windows XP. Upgrading your computers to Windows Vista, Windows 7, or later, will require switching to GPG.

      Any keys created using the old PGP software can still be imported and used by GPG.

    • GPG Installation and Usage Instructions

    • Download GPG from PERSI's Site or GPG's Site

    • PERSI Employers Public Key - If needed, download the PERSI Employers Public Key.

Easy Pay - PERSI's electronic payment system.
