Purpose
The site,
https://secure.rrb.gov/employer, is an official United
States Government site intended for use by employers covered under the Railroad
Retirement and Railroad Unemployment Insurance Acts in filing service and
compensation reports with the Railroad Retirement Board and related activities.
The site is referred to as the Employer Reporting System (ERS.)
