These individuals must be designated by their agency head with approval authority and be on the agency voucher signature card. It is suggested that the authorized approvers review the trial payroll before they release the final payroll to process. Agencies must also initiate their own internal controls with regards to how they allow individuals to continue adding payroll transactions into USPS after the payroll has been approved. Agencies may request the daily personnel extract file that shows who has been performing maintenance that can capture the User ID and what was done. If interested, agencies are invited to organize a focus group to brainstorm ideas on any issues of concern regarding electronic approval, and the Comptroller's office will arrange for a meeting room and the appropriate staff to attend.
All dates are tentative until further notice.
