Yes, when setting up the South Dakota retirement deduction for an employee in the Employee File, the Member Number field must be completed.  In the Member Number field for the retirement deduction, which is located on the Deductions screen in the Employee File, enter the appropriate code for the type (and status, if applicable) of the employee to be reported on the monthly retirement report.

South Dakota Employee Type Codes – First Two Digits for Type:

Note:  If only the first two digits are entered for an inactive employee (Active field is not selected) and the Employee Status on the Name & Address screen is set to Retired or Terminated, 5 will automatically generate as the third digit on the Retirement Report; if the inactive employee has an Employee Status of Deceased, 6 will generate as the third digit; or if the inactive employee has an Employee Status of Leave of Absence, 9 will generate as the third digit.

If a third digit is manually entered for an employee, be sure to complete the Remove Third Digit from Member Numbers option after generating the retirement report in order to clear the status (third digit), by selecting the Options menu from within the retirement report screen, selecting Remove Third Digit from Member Numbers, and when prompted, clicking Yes to continue.
