This memorandum addresses questions around recent announcements and consideration of changes to the state employee payroll schedule. Legislative Council Staff has received inquiries regarding the timing and amount of state employee payroll during the months of July and August 2018 as a result of a March 8, 2018 email from the Department of Personnel and Administration (DPA) to Executive Branch employees. The email announces a transition in July 2018 from monthly to biweekly lag pay.
