Effective July 1, 2002, the Comptroller's Office will begin to charge for payroll and accounts payable transactions that require special handling. When payroll and accounts payable documents are not submitted in accordance with published deadlines, those transactions must be processed "manually", outside the normal processing cycles for the University's automated systems.

I take this action reluctantly but the pressures created by the FY2003 administrative budget guidelines and the increasing volume of payroll and accounts payable transactions that require special handling necessitates this action.

The following table displays the specific charges that will be assessed for payroll and accounts payable transactions requiring special handling:

Salary (Payroll) Disbursements

Non-Salary (Accounts Payable) Disbursements
