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.
