Processing Rules for Returning Checks
According to the instructions for AC-230 processing, agencies are reminded that payroll checks should not be returned to OSC if either of the following situations apply:
- The employee is still actively employed by any State agency.
- The employee is due any regular and/or lump sum payments that are equal to or exceed the amount to be returned.
Agencies must e-mail the Payroll Deduction mailbox to obtain prior approval to submit an AC-230 for a situation that warrants making an exception to the above.
Agency Actions
Agencies must be diligent in their efforts to submit AC-230s timely. The NPAY539 (Non-Negotiated Payroll Checks) Control-D report, as described in Payroll Bulletin 908 (Non-Negotiated and/or Undeliverable New York State Payroll Checks) was created as a tool for agencies to identify outstanding checks and take appropriate action.
