Official Website

of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

    The .gov means its official.

    Local, state, and federal government websites often end in .gov. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania government websites and email systems use "pennsylvania.gov" or "pa.gov" at the end of the address. Before sharing sensitive or personal information, make sure you're on an official state website. 

    About Payroll Policies

    The Office of the Budget issues Commonwealth-wide payroll policies through the Office of Administration’s Directives Management System.  Payroll policies that focus exclusively on Commonwealth employee payroll issues can be found in the Payroll (315) series of management directives on the Office of Administration’s Financial Management Directives page.  Other policies that at least partially affect payroll can be found in the Pay (525) series on the Employee Development and Utilization Directives page.

    The Commonwealth’s personnel rules – which contain provisions addressing the pay plan and pay rules, entrance and reemployment pay, pay increases, working out of class, overtime, dual employment, attendance, and leave usage – are published in Management Directive 505.7, Personnel Rules (PDF).
