Purpose

To inform all agencies of the upcoming rollover of the chart of accounts strings mapped to the Position Pools in PayServ.

Affected Employees

All SUNY employee records will be affected (except Agency Code 28990).

Background

In order to correctly calculate the charges for the split payroll for the fiscal year ending 2016-17 and the fiscal year beginning 2017-18, the PayServ chart of accounts must be updated to reflect the 2017-18 budget references where appropriations and segregations have been created by the Bureau of State Accounting Operations.

The appropriation charges to be used for the following fiscal year-end payroll allocation percentages are outlined in the Guide to Financial Operations, Section XV.6.A.

Effective Date(s)

Institution pay checks dated July 06, 2017. Administration pay checks dated July 12, 2017.

Eligibility Criteria

All SUNY employees paid through PayServ (except Agency Code 28990).

OSC Actions

OSC Payroll will begin June Lapsing and Fiscal Year End Rollover activities on June 22, 2017 for paycheck dates July 6, 2017 (Institution) and July 12, 2017 (Administration). This will include the completion of the roll-over to the Department Budget Table USA containing the chart of accounts strings for agency position pools.

There should be no disruption to PayServ system availability during this time.
