Purpose:

As we await the enactment of the New York State (NYS) fiscal year 2023-24 budget, OSC would like to provide notice of the possible impact to paychecks if the NYS budget or an extender bill is not passed by 12 p.m. on Monday, April 24, 2023.

Affected Employees:

Executive Branch* employees paid on the Administration pay cycle may be affected.

*This does not apply to employees of the State University of New York (28***, [excluding SUNY Construction Fund 28990]), City University of New York (70***) or State Insurance Fund (00640, 00650) since their fiscal year does not expire until the end of June. However, although funds will be released for these agencies, direct deposit advices will not be mailed until all other advices can be released.

Effective Dates:

Effective paychecks dated April 26, 2023

OSC Actions:

OSC will transmit the electronic direct deposit file to the bank as soon as the Legislature passes and the Governor signs the 2023-24 State budget or a budget extender bill to provide for the continuing operation of State government.

OSC will provide updated information, if funds are not available for the paycheck dated April 26, 2023, via the PayServ Bulletin Board and New York State Payroll Online (NYSPO).

Agency Actions:

Agencies should notify employees of the possible impact and consult the PayServ and NYSPO bulletin boards for additional information and updates.
