About BEACON: Impacted Systems: Department of Transportation (DOT) Payroll System

Business Purpose:

The DOT Payroll System manages biweekly payroll activities for over 15,000 employees in the Department of Transportation and updates the DOT legacy accounting system with personnel expense information. Unlike other state agencies, the DOT Payroll System also must keep more detailed time records because employees often work on multiple projects that use both state and federal funds.

Capabilities:

  • Performs Gross and Net pay calculation for 15,000 employees
  • Produces Disability and Leave Expense Payrolls
  • Supports one day turn around for changes to business rules
  • Provides Time Capture that is integrated to Cost Accounting
  • Accommodates different time schedules

Technical Platform:

In existence for over 30 years, this system resides on a mainframe using indexed VSAM files and is written in the Assembler programming language. This system uses the EasyTrieve reporting language.
