The purpose of this bulletin is to inform all agencies of the upcoming rollover of the chart of accounts strings mapped to the position pools in PayServ.

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

Background: 

In order to correctly calculate the charges for the split payroll for fiscal year ending 2025-26 and the fiscal year beginning 2026-27, the PayServ chart of accounts must be updated to reflect the 2026-27 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 Dates: 

Administration paychecks dated July 1, 2026

Institution paychecks dated July 9, 2026

OSC Actions:  

OSC Payroll will begin June Lapsing and Fiscal Year End Rollover activities on June 18, 2026 for the paycheck dates July 1, 2026 (Administration) and July 9, 2026 (Institution). 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.
