30 - PERSONNEL/PAYROLL SERVICES

The Personnel/Payroll Services Division administers the state's payroll, employment history and leave accounting processes in a manner that provides accurate, timely and efficient processing for the users of these systems. The Division pays state employees within the rules of the Uniform State Payroll process; maintains the state's official employment history and leave accounting 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., Department of Personnel Administration, 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 new system will enable the state to improve management processes and fulfill its payroll, reporting, and deduction processing obligations accurately and on time. Moreover, the new system will move the state from a transaction-based system to an enterprise database system that supports the business demands of state government.
