PayServ Manual

Purpose

The purpose of this task is to record the salary information in the Payroll System for a hire, rehire or concurrent hire. Salary information is added after personal, job and employee-related data have been recorded for an employee. If this task is not performed, the employee will not be paid.

Helpful Hints

  • All pay rate change requests that require Division of Budget or Civil Service approval should not be submitted until such approval is posted in the relevant fields in NYSTEP and the Position Data page.
  • Pay Changes may be automatically approved based on meeting the editing and approval criteria. Pay Changes will only be automatically approved if the Effective Date of the change is after the latest Effective Date on the Job Data record and before the Effective Date of any open request.
