Sec. 1. (a) Notwithstanding any other law, rule, or custom, the auditor of state shall issue payroll warrants or authorizations for electronic funds transfer under IC 4-13-2-7 to all state employees on a biweekly basis, so that the employees shall receive payment on the same day of the week, in alternate weeks. The auditor may provide for staggering of payrolls so that payment in the required manner can be effectively made, in accordance with this chapter.
(b) Should a fiscal year terminate during any biweekly payroll period, that portion of the payroll warrant or authorization representing compensation for services performed during the terminated fiscal year shall be charged against the appropriations for that fiscal year and that portion of the payroll warrant representing compensation for services performed subsequent to the terminated fiscal year shall be charged against the appropriations for the new fiscal year.
