2014-15 Payroll Calendar Is Now Available

May 12, 2014

 

Note: If the payroll calendar does not apply to you, you can disregard this message. 

 

Your 2014-15 payroll calendar is now available for review on the employer reporting website. 

 

These dates have been created following the schedule used in your 2013-14 payroll calendars. Please review your online payroll calendar dates to ensure they correspond to the pay period begin and end dates that will be used for your retirement detail reports during the 2014-15 fiscal year.

 

You can view your calendar by clicking on the View Payroll Calendar link. Under Existing Calendars, locate the FY 2014-15 calendar link(s). This will open the Create/Edit Payroll Calendar Details screen. Verify the pay period start and end dates listed under Option 2 - View Payroll Period Dates. Remember, if the normal scheduled pay date falls on a holiday, the pay period end date should remain the holiday date for reporting purposes. Holiday wages can be paid early if necessary but the pay date on the calendar should not be changed.

 

Only ORS can make changes to your payroll calendar. If your 2014-15 calendar needs to be changed you must contact ORS no later than June 27, 2014. To avoid confusion send any changes in the same format as used on the web site. The format should be two columns of data: one data column for the payroll begin date (the day after your employees are paid), the second data column for the payroll end date (the date your employees are paid). Another option is to print out the existing calendar and write in your changes.

 

You can send your calendar changes by email to: ORS_Web_Reporting@michigan.gov with a subject line: Payroll Calendar changes, or you can fax them to: 517-322-5190.
