(1) The payment of salary or compensation of the officers, teachers, instructors and other employees of the Oregon University System, where such salary or compensation is payable out of the State Treasury and is fixed by law or the State Board of Higher Education at a definite rate per hour, day, week, month or year, shall be made weekly, biweekly, semimonthly or monthly with any necessary adjustments, as provided in this section.

(2) With the approval of the board, the Chancellor of the Oregon University System shall make out, certify and transmit to the board at the end of each pay period a payroll, duly verified by the chancellor or other designated officer and approved by the proper auditing committee or officer, showing the names of the several officers, teachers, instructors and other employees during the preceding payroll period, the rate of compensation of each by the hour, day, week, month or year, the time employed, the amount due and any other facts the board requires. The board, if it approves the payroll, shall draw a warrant on the State Treasurer for the aggregate amount allowed in favor of the chancellor, who shall immediately pay over the moneys received to the several parties entitled thereto and take receipts therefor, which shall be transmitted to the board.
