Question 1

We would like to recommend giving our department a verification period of three (3) days to verify the payroll information prior to final submission.  Checking timesheets and overtime, other pay (i.e. TDI, WC, etc.) and any payroll changes.  How would that work?

For other pay (TDI and WC), your department payroll staff is going to be directly involved in entering the information.  Most other types of pay will be directly entered by employees and approved by supervisors, and it will not need intervention by your department payroll staff.  Your payroll staff will need to work on exceptions and resolve those by deadlines.  It's important to note that your payroll staff can check daily throughout the entire pay period and they need not wait until the end of the pay period to get started on their reviews.  The State's deadline for payroll submission will be the same as it is today.  There will be a Comptroller's Memorandum that comes out requiring employees to submit their documents for each pay period by pay period closing.
