Updated Payroll Business Continuity Plan

The #1 goal of Payroll Services is to ensure every employee is paid in an accurate, timely manner. To that end, the Payroll Services Business Continuity Plan (see link below) has been reviewed and updated to make sure employees continue to be paid during declared emergencies or other times when information systems may not be available. Department managers and those who process personnel transactions in KRONOS and PeopleSoft HCM should review important planning information and tools that will help them be prepared in the event the Business Continuity Plan is activated. Payroll Services is requesting that paper copies of these documents become an important part of every department’s emergency plan. If you have further questions about this information, please contact Payroll services at Ext. 78078. Read the plan
