We are writing to inform you of important updates to the New York State Payroll Online (NYSPO) platform, which were put into effect as of Monday. July 28, 2025. These enhancements are designed to provide a more secure, user-friendly experience and to give you greater control over your payroll information.

The NYSPO platform has recently introduced new features and benefits designed to improve your access to payroll information, streamline your preferences, and enhance your overall experience as a state employee.

Please review the online flyer for a quick overview of the updates, including:

  • Expanded self-service options
  • Improved accessibility and user interface

In addition to the new features, we are also asking employees to be aware of the below security requirements when accessing NYSPO:

  • Always access NYSPO directly via the official link or by navigating to osc.ny.gov > NYS Payroll Online > Sign in.
  • Do not use search engines to find the portal—fraudulent sites may try to capture your credentials.
  • Verify your email each time you log in
    • Your NYSPO email address is used to notify you of changes to:
      • Payroll address
      • Tax withholding
      • Direct deposit
      • NYSPO login activity 
  • If you receive an email about a change you did not initiate, immediately notify University Payroll Security at University_Payroll_Security_Adm@cuny.edu

More information regarding NYSPO can be found online. If you need help or have questions, please contact University Payroll Security at University_Payroll_Security_Adm@cuny.edu .
