CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) – West Virginia officials don’t foresee any issues setting up state employee payroll in time for the long-delayed budget that starts July 1.
Department of Administration spokeswoman Diane Holley-Brown says the changes to the wvOASIS computer system should be ready in time.
Officials had expressed concerns that it may take a couple weeks to input changes into the system after a budget was approved.
Democratic Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin signed the new budget Friday. The GOP-led Legislature passed it last week during a 17-day special session.
Lawmakers couldn’t craft a budget during the 60-plus-day regular session earlier this year, when they found out revenues would be even worse because of the declining coal industry and low natural gas prices.
