The payroll office reports some departments are late in turning in payroll changes which results in a large number of telephone calls from staff members inquiring about late payroll checks.
Payroll Latecomers Set Checks Behind Schedule
"The payroll office tries to issue over 3,000 checks by the first of every month, but the telephone calls keep interrupting our work and inhibiting our efficiency," said C. A. Harkness, personnel director.

Vox Populi Names ASC Candidates

time in several years the unmarried- unorganized students succeeded in placing two representatives on the Council.
A bill to be presented to the ASC this week will offer election changes. It will include a change from the one day election to a two-day period.
This is to enable the proposed IBM voting system to work properly and to avoid ballot stuffing. The bill would call for the primary elections to be on April 7-8 and the general election on April 14-15. A centralizing of voting areas to one building is planned, also.
Vox's 29 candidates are expected to come out of the primary unscathed as the closed election almost makes certain of all candidates surviving.
The ASC constitution sets out the rule that at least 75 votes are needed to elect one representative; 201 for 1; 426 for 3; 676 for 4 and so on up into the thousand figure.
Party officials are careful to select the proper number of candidates, in ratio to previous year's voting turnouts, to see that none of their candidates lose.
roll change from KU on the 13th of every month, the personnel division in Topeka notifies the accounts and receivable division, where the payroll is prepared.
The KU payroll office receives a copy of the payroll by the 25th. It is checked against KU records by IBM.
Because of the complexity of the report, any changes in a staff member's salary requires that his name be "lined-off" the payroll and placed on a supplemental payroll.
"Personnel on the supplemental payroll always receive their checks late," explained Mr. Harkusss.
"If the departments would notify us of the change in the salary of a staff member before the 13th, there would be no delay," he added.
Back in Topeka, the checks are written from the corrected regular payroll and returned to KU where they are issued on the first of the month.
The hourly payroll is done by the 28th and is generally sent back to KU in time to distribute the checks one day behind the regular payroll.
"It is impossible for the KU payroll to be issued before the first of the month because state law forbids issuance of checks before that date," said Mr. Harkness.
"The people who are listed on the supplemental payroll are the persons who keep our phone ringing," he added.
The supplemental payroll does not go to Topeka until four or five days after the regular payroll has been issued. The checks are written and sent back to KU in time to be issued on the 10th or 11th day after the regular payroll.
"People don't realize that we're just as anxious to distribute the payroll as they are to have it," Mr. Harkness said.
"The faster we get the staff's checks issued, the quicker we get our own."
