Purpose

To inform agencies of new file layouts for inbound and outbound file interfaces to PayServ to reflect the conversion from legacy cost centers to the new accounting structure (Chart of Accounts) in SFS

Affected Employees

The accounting, reporting and payroll distribution data for all employees paid through PayServ will be affected

Background

The State adopted a new Chart of Accounts (COA) in 2012 when it implemented the Statewide Financial System. OSC is now aligning personal service charges with the new COA. Following this conversion, agencies will be able to compare data across PayServ and SFS, allowing for easier reconciliation of payroll charges.

Effective Date(s)

Institution pay checks dated April 2, 2015 and
Administration pay checks dated April 8, 2015

Eligibility Criteria

All employees paid through PayServ
