The Commonwealth pays employees on a semi-monthly basis with a scheduled pay day on the 15th and 30th of each month. The two monthly pay periods are from the 1st to the 15th of the month and the 16th through the last day of the month. Pay check distribution is delayed by one pay period to allow for system processing. For example work performed during the 1st to the 15th day of the month is paid to the employee on the 30th of the month. Accordingly the cost accounting charges for labor costs posting in eMARS to operating accounts and highway projects are also delayed by approximately one pay period.
A good rule of measure is that the cost accounting charges for the pay period ending on the 15th of the month will post to eMARS by the 25th and those for the pay period ending on the last day of the month will post to eMARS by the 10th of the following month.
