ConnectHR Telework Stipend Process Reminder

Action Required: Share the following information with all human resources (HR) office employees.

Description: In an effort to reduce errors and eliminate duplicate payments with the Telework Stipend (TWS) data submission through ConnectHR platform, all departments are responsible for verifying payroll using the warrant register before releasing the payment to their employees. Once the TWS text file has been submitted through ConnectHR, it cannot be recalled or undone.

TWS has validations in place to prevent erroneous submissions, e.g. duplicate Social Security Numbers.  There are no validations to prevent a duplicate submission for an employee entry on a different day or different spreadsheet.

Please refer to the State Controller’s Office (SCO) website to access available resources below:
