Purpose

This Bulletin provides information related to file submission and file naming. It also outlines the first conversion week schedule. This Bulletin is being sent to Payroll Officers, Agency Liaisons, and Agency Technical Contacts.

File Submission

  • Miscellaneous File - Agencies submitting Miscellaneous Payment Transaction files may submit only one file per pay period -- not daily. This file is due on the submission dates shown in Bulletin No. 15. Transactions may also be entered directly into PaySR online through the submission date.
  • Payroll Data Transaction Files (Data Capture) may be sent daily (one file per day) until the Data Capture File Submission Date. Transactions that are required for payroll after the payroll data file deadline has passed should be entered directly into PaySR online by the payroll submission date.
  • OSC will provide the Processed Transaction Files (Outbound) to agencies daily.

File Naming

Beginning with files submitted for the check date of 7/22/98, production files for PaySR must be named according to the following convention:

Files Sent to PaySR
  • Payroll Data Transaction File - paysrp.nhrp716.AC<agency code>.input
  • Miscellaneous Payments File - paysrp.npay502.AC<agency code>.input
