The Department of Personnel Management emphasizes that it is critical we receive all completed and approved timesheets for the pay period ending December 26, 2025, without further delay. These timesheets are not simply administrative documents; they are essential data inputs required to validate payroll accuracy during the current payroll retesting phase. Without complete and accurate time records for this specific pay period, we cannot properly test calculations related to regular hours, overtime, leave accruals, deductions, and system integrations.
As of today, time entry information for approximately 700 employees remains outstanding. This significant gap is directly hindering our ability to conduct accurate and reliable payroll testing. Payroll retesting depends on real-time, complete data to confirm that corrections have been properly implemented and that the system is functioning as intended. When hundreds of records are missing, test results become incomplete and unreliable, delaying overall system stabilization.
Immediate action is required by 12:00 pm, Friday, February 20, 2026. The completion of payroll corrections and the successful validation of the system depend on full participation and accountability for the pay period ending December 26, 2025.
