Personal Service (Salary) Advances

Guidance:

Starting January 1, 2024, agencies will have the ability to issue a personal service (salary) advance payment to eligible employees using the Accounts Payable module of the Statewide Financial System (SFS). Advance payment to an employee for personal services is not intended to supersede normal State Payroll procedures. However, if an agency determines that a salary advance is necessary, OSC recommends the agency refer to Payroll Bulletin No. 2205, Updated Guidance for Issuing Salary Advances.
