Effective Date(s)

Institution Check Date 6/26/03 through Administration Check Date 8/13/03.

A processing schedule for the post-upgrade payroll periods is forthcoming.

Background

Due to the upgrade of the payroll system from PaySR to PayServ, scheduled for 8/4/03, earlier submission deadlines are necessary. To accomplish the conversion of records, agencies will only have View access to PaySR from 7/23/03 through 8/03/03.

Agency Responsibility

Agencies must adhere to the revised submission deadlines contained in Attachment A.

Additional processing information is included in:

  • Attachment B for Institution cycle agencies
  • Attachment C for Administration cycle agencies

After the agency deadline, agencies may continue to enter transactions into PaySR in accordance with dates noted in the column "Agency Entry After On-Line Submission Deadline" (see attachments B & C). These transactions will be processed in a subsequent pay period, based on the effective dates of the transactions.
