Modernizing the Payroll System for the State of Colorado
Project Overview and Mission
We aim to replace the state's legacy mainframe payroll system with a modern cloud-based solution.
Through this effort, the Payroll Implementation Team strives to:
Reduce manual processes and increase task efficiency for payroll, finance, and HR professionals in state agencies
Improve data integrity and increase data security
Standardize business processes across agencies and departments, aligning processes with HR best practices and law statewide
Continue to provide the state's 36,000+ employees with accurate and timely pay
Current Status
Like our forest friends preparing for winter, the COMPAS Team has been bustling with activity. As we transition into the next phase of our project, our focus is shifting toward business readiness — ensuring state entities are equipped and confident to adopt the new system. Here's a snapshot of key activities underway:
- Peer-Led Training: Volunteers, known as Learning Orienteers, have been recruited to support peer training. Their onboarding begins in early November and continues through year-end.
- Data Validation: Entities are actively reviewing and validating converted data to ensure accuracy and completeness.
- Labor Distribution Setup: Entities will be creating labor distribution profiles to support seamless labor allocation within the system.
- User Acceptance Testing (UAT): Trailblazers and state entity subject matter experts will engage in testing to ensure the application meets business needs and expectations.
Key project meetings are shown here. Meeting audiences range from executive level stakeholders to system administrators and everyone in-between, but typically all are welcome to attend.
