This can be a lengthy, time-consuming process, especially for large agencies. Once payroll is finalized and funded at the agency, the agency runs payroll through the G/L process and the payroll information available to Transaction Processing for release. Additional documentation with proper approvals is sent to Transaction Processing either by e-mail, fax, or paper. Once Transaction Processing has the paperwork for a payroll, it is reviewed against the pending release data to ensure they match and payroll is released. Information is due from the agencies by 3:00 5 business days prior to payday.
