NHRS System Updates

Stay current with the latest system improvements

Latest Release - July 9, 2025

New Feature

Reporting Prior School Year Contracts

What Changed:

Employers can now update Teacher Contract Periods for the current or previous school year directly in DRS. Updates can be made through file-based reporting or via DRS Web Entry during Batch Maintenance or while correcting exceptions. This feature allows flexible association of teacher contracts with the correct reporting year.

Why It Matters:

This update improves the overall reporting process by enabling more accurate contract and wage reporting from the start. Employers will experience reduced manual adjustments, faster processing times, and improved long-term accuracy in their reporting workflows.

New Feature

Increased Document Upload Limit for the Data Reporting System

Categories: Employer Tools, Document Management, File Uploads

What Changed:

We have increased the document upload file size limit from 8 MB to 15 MB in DRS.

Why It Matters:

This improvement eliminates the need to compress or split large files, making document uploads faster and more convenient for employers submitting comprehensive reports and detailed data files.
