1. (1) The Chief Financial Officer has the lawful authority to audit and settle all wage claims against the State. While a department may elect the Payroll by Exception or Noncalculated Payroll submission option, the Bureau reserves the right to examine all payroll data and resolve any variance.
2. (2) The Bureau will examine payroll input documents and calculate employee payroll records to verify the accuracy of wage and deduction amounts. When a discrepancy exists between a department and the Bureau’s records, the Bureau’s records prevail. The burden is upon the department to prove otherwise.
