Checks shall be tendered to an officer or employee only after he has completed the work for which he is being paid and not later than fifteen (15) days after the designated pay period. The Finance and Administration Cabinet is authorized to effect such changes in the payroll system at any time as are necessary to pay salaries after work has been performed. The cabinet is further authorized to make such changes as are necessary and desirable in the posting of payroll expenditures and any other accounting and reporting procedures.
