As a result, we are extending the comment deadline one week, to Friday, April 10. I hope this gives everyone enough time to consider sharing feedback on the three OAMs listed below. To share your feedback, please email osps.oam at das.oregon.gov. Thanks and please reach out if you have concerns on the timing. Rob [DAS logo] Robert W. Hamilton, CPA State Controller Chief Financial Office 971-719-3031 Oregon Department of Administrative Services From: OSPS-News > On Behalf Of LOWRY Timothy * DAS Sent: Friday, March 20, 2026 1:32 PM To: osps-news at omls.oregon.gov Subject: OSPS News ~ Round 4 of 4: Three payroll OAMs placed out for comment Good afternoon. We have placed the final set of three Oregon Accounting Manual (OAM) payroll policies as out-for-comment and we're seeking agency feedback on them. The three OAMs are listed below along with highlights of the most impactful changes, which we're adding in lieu of a track changes document. Given the changes in format that have occurred, the track changes document is challenging to follow in our opinion. However, if you would like a copy, we'd happy to share it directly with you. 45.40.00 Payroll - Pay expense reimbursements and document retention * Updated language to replace Oregon State Payroll Application (OSPA) with the Workday Payroll System. * Applicability section: Added language from OAM .01.05.00 to section to clarify that "If any provisions of OAM policies or procedures conflict with bargaining agreements, the provisions of bargaining agreements would supersede OAM guidance." * All sections include updated formatting and plain language edits. * Added OAR 166-300-0025 as a reference for record retention. 45.42.00 Payroll - Appropriate materials to disburse with payroll * Applicability section: Added language from OAM .01.05.00 to section to clarify that "If any provisions of OAM policies or procedures conflict with bargaining agreements, the provisions of bargaining agreements would supersede OAM guidance." * All sections include updated formatting and plain language edits. * Added ORS 292.026 and OARs 125-015-0200 and 125-090-0085 as a references for payroll payments. * Added definition for stored value cards. 45.45.00 Separation of Duties * Updated language to replace Oregon State Payroll Application (OSPA) with the Workday Payroll System. * Applicability section: Added language from OAM .01.05.00 to section to clarify that "If any provisions of OAM policies or procedures conflict with bargaining agreements, the provisions of bargaining agreements would supersede OAM guidance." * All sections include updated formatting and plain language edits. * Various sections have modified and updated language for clarity and consistency. * Section 103 was re-worked to provide clear direction for agencies working in payroll systems that integrate with Workday. While the links above take you directly to those OAMs, they can also be found at the OAM website. The items listed above reflect what we believe the highlights to be, but we're hoping you'll review the full set of proposed OAMs in their entirety when providing feedback. The comment period for this final set of three OAMs closes at the end of the day on Friday, April 3. Please email your feedback to us at osps.oam at das.oregon.gov Thank you so much for engaging with us in this process! Tim [A picture containing logo Description automatically generated]Timothy M.

We would like to provide consolidated feedback to NASC by June 5, so we are asking agencies to submit their feedback to SARS by Friday, May 22. This will give us enough time to review the responses and follow up with any questions before forwarding them to NASC. Not all agencies have infrastructure assets, but for those that do (Agencies 107, 109, 141, 248, 259, 291, 415, 443, 629, 634, 635, and 730), this exposure draft will be important to review, as it may affect how your agency accounts for infrastructure assets. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Draft Enterprise Readiness Plan Colleagues, The Oregon Department of Administrative Services (DAS) on behalf of the state of Oregon is making updates to improve accuracy, timeliness, and consistency in how employees are paid. The upcoming structural pay changes apply to all agencies using the Workday Payroll system. These changes will help ensure accurate, timely, and reliable pay across Oregon state government. These changes will also help us remain fully compliant with state and federal laws. By July 1, 2027, all employees will transition from a monthly pay schedule to a biweekly pay schedule, overtime eligible employees will get paid hourly instead of salary, and we will eliminate forecasting time. DAS is planning for enterprise readiness to support the Statewide Payroll Transformation Project (Payroll Transition). I am sharing the draft Enterprise Readiness Plan for your awareness and feedback. Your engagement in the payroll transition is essential for preparing state of Oregon employees across the enterprise for the transition. The draft Enterprise Readiness Plan describes proposed change management, communication and training strategies that will support the enterprise throughout this transition. Please review the attached plan and share any feedback questions or considerations specific to your agency?s structure, workforce needs, or readiness capacity with Joanna Robert, the Payroll Transformation Enterprise Readiness Manager at joanna.d.robert at das.oregon.gov by April 15. Your insights will help us refine the plan and ensure it aligns with the diverse operational realities across Oregon state government.
