Electronic Reporting
The Central Payroll Bureau offers the option to receive a standard deduction transaction file that would be sent via the Comptroller of Maryland’s secure email service. This file is sent as a .CSV file that will populate an EXCEL spreadsheet.
The information on the file contains a record for each employee that is set up to have your deduction taken.
Fields contained in this file are:
- CPB payroll system
- Employee ID
- Pay period ending date
- Employee’s state agency number
- Employee’s name
- Identifying deduction code used by CPB
- Employee’s deduction amount
- Reason code field that offers an explanation whether the deduction was taken
00 = DEDUCTION TAKEN
01 = SALARY AMOUNT IS INSUFFICIENT TO TAKE DEDUCTION
10 = EMPLOYEE TERMINATED
20 = INACTIVE (ONLY 21 PAY TEACHERS)
30 = CHECK CANCELLATION
- A field with an employee termination date or check cancel date (if appropriate).
The exact file layout will be supplied during the initial set up and testing.
**Please note, your organization will be required to have a group email address for receiving these files**.
