State Payroll Operations - Overview
State Payroll Operations is responsible for running the largest of the state's payroll and leave systems. Most state employees
(100,000-plus) are currently served by DOA's central payroll and leave system, CIPPS, a heavily modified version of Infor (formerly GEAC)
Millennium software. Eight of the largest state-supported universities operate independent payroll systems serving approximately
one-third of the state workforce.
In addition to running the system that calculates and disburses salaries and wages, State Payroll Operations is also responsible
for federal and state tax compliance. This includes implementing system modifications, developing policies and procedures, and
training users. Other central activities include federal tax depositing and reporting, payroll accounting, accounting and
disbursement processing for benefit deductions, payroll auditing, and payroll system end-user training.
