Across the Board Increases
If your agency is currently using SSC Payroll Services, payroll would like to request a copy of both the Salaried and Wage increases to be saved in the PSDATA drive. Please work with your assigned payroll specialist as to the location for saving this information.
Wage increases are manually entered into CIPPS and cannot be keyed until the July 2, 2021, payroll is certified. The certification period is June 23,2021 – June 29, 2021. SSC will make every attempt to provide certification packets to those colleges we process as soon as possible to provide ample amount of time to accommodate the volume of manual data entry.
Please note: As highlighted above, due to fiscal year end, CIPPS closes at noon on June 30, 2021, providing limited time between certification period close and the holiday weekend. Our team is striving to complete all increase entries by close of business on July 2, 2021. We would appreciate receiving the data as soon as it is available and please be sure to include the CIPPS id with the appropriate suffix.
Please share this communication with your appropriate staff members.
If you have any questions or concerns, please email payroll.
