30 - PERSONNEL/PAYROLL SERVICES

The Personnel/Payroll Services Division administers the state's payroll, employment history, the automated travel expense reimbursement and leave accounting systems in a manner that provides accurate, timely and efficient processing for the users of these systems. The Division operates the Uniform State Payroll System and pays state employees within the rules set by collective bargaining and the laws that govern payroll; maintains the state's official employment history and leave accounting systems and business processes in conformance with the appropriate laws, rules and memorandums of understanding and policies of the participating salary setting authorities; maintains the state's position roster and provides a wide variety of management and user information. The Division works with other entities, e.g., California Department of Human Resources, Department of Finance, California State University Chancellor's Office, to maximize the efficiency of the state's personnel and payroll functions, while continuing to maintain the highest level and quality of customer service.

The 21st Century Project will replace existing statewide human resource management systems with a fully integrated solution (MyCalPAYS). Functionality will include employment, payroll, benefits, position management and leave accounting/timekeeping. The project is currently suspended pending further review of the implementation and go-forward plan.
