Subject:	Announcement of the Payroll Handbook

In Fiscal Year (FY) 1995, a Payroll Committee was formed to develop a
handbook that would be an all-inclusive source document containing payroll
information that could be utilized for educational purposes by WRD offices.

The result of the Committee's efforts is now complete and can be found on
the Internet at <http://wwwoper.er.usgs.gov/payroll>.  The USGS WRD Payroll
Handbook contains general payroll requirements, as well as sections on
Employee Express, lost paychecks, electronic transfer, work schedules,
leave, holiday pay, overtime/compensatory time, pay differential, and
Workmen's Compensation.

I would like to take this opportunity to commend the members of the Payroll
Handbook Committee for their hard work.  Their efforts are greatly
appreciated and will be of major benefit to WRD.  The Committee members
include:

	Nancy Bley,Administrative Officer,Northeastern Region,Reston, VA
	Carmine Scudero, Administrative Officer, Altamonte Springs, FL
	Sandra Edwards, Administrative Officer, Richmond, VA
	Patrick Smith,Computer Specialist,Administrative Services,Reston, VA
	Jackie Johnson, Budget & Financial Specialist, Administrative Services,
Reston, VA
	Sharon Shaw, Hydrology Technician, Anchorage, AK
	Lou Ann Quinn, Administrative Operations Assistant, Lincoln, NE
	Clara R. Haynes (since retired), Administrative Officer, Louisville, KY 
		    
I am sure you will find the Handbook beneficial to you and to those
personnel in your particular area who are tasked with payroll
responsibilities.  Please address any comments or questions you might have
to Nancy J. Hill, Chief, Management Support Section, WRD Branch of
Administrative Services, 703-648-5036 (e-mail <njhill>).
