NYS Payroll Online first arrived at New Paltz in 2016 as a way for employees to help cut costs and reduce waste by opting out of receiving paper pay stubs.
Faculty and staff responded with enthusiasm, and now, one year after the program debuted, SUNY New Paltz ranks in the top 10 among state agencies in terms of total opt-outs and money saved.
A total of 350 New Paltz employees had opted out as of early December 2017, for an overall participation rate of about 30 percent. Those employees helped the College save more than $6,000 in printing and distribution costs.
Those employees who have not yet signed up for NYS Payroll Online are encouraged to learn more about the system by contacting the Payroll Office at payroll@newpaltz.edu or 845-257-3145.
As an added incentive, the Payroll Office will be offering $50 gift cards to randomly-selected faculty and staff who log in and make the switch to paperless pay statements before Feb 8, 2018. A drawing will be conducted on each payday between Dec. 21, 2017 and Feb. 21, 2018.
