This network replaces the labor-intensive process of distributing printed inserts with employee paychecks, and saves the state an estimated $144,000 per year in staff time, printing, and distribution costs.

Under the old process, when an agency needed to send information to all state employees, this was accomplished by printing 63,200 paper copies that were sent out by the Department of Personnel (DOP) to payroll offices and manually distributed with employee paychecks. This created a huge workload issue for payroll offices, in addition to the direct costs of printing and mailing the inserts.

Payday FYI uses electronic distribution for those employees who have email and web access. An email message is sent out to designated contacts in each agency, usually in conjunction with the first payday of the month. These contacts then forward the message to all employees in their agencies. The message describes the contents of the current notice, and provides a link to this Payday FYI website, where the full notice is available for viewing and printing.

For those employees who do not have electronic access, printed copies of critical notices, such as those related to benefits or payroll, are distributed through the payroll offices, as in the past.

Payday FYI is to be used for official state business only.
