Personnel and Payroll
Federal Personnel Payroll System

The Federal Personnel/Payroll System (FPPS) is a modern, mainframe-based, portable, integrated, on-line, and real-time personnel and payroll system. The system provides personnel and payroll support to numerous agencies. The system is customer-driven, creating and generating the full life cycle of personnel transactions, enabling agencies to maintain records electronically. FPPS handles all current regulations including specialized pay, garnishments, special appointment programs, and more.

FPPS was developed by the National Business Center (NBC) using sophisticated database technology, fourth-generation language, structured development methodology, and computer-aided software engineering tools for robust performance and ease of maintenance. FPPS is a highly sophisticated and comprehensive database management system providing an extensive array of human resources (HR) and payroll automation support within its core, including requirements prescribed by client agencies, the NBC's centralized Payroll Operations Division (POD), and the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). NBC provides a Web-enabled presentation of FPPS, referred to as WebFPPS. Using a Web browser allows system access and provides the capability to perform personnel and payroll tasks. The WebFPPS application supports Requesting Office, Time and Attendance (T&A input), Servicing Personnel Office, Security, T&A Maintenance, and Pay Maintenance commands for Federal employees and Emergency Workers (Casuals.)

All data is defined in a single database which eliminates redundancy and multiple update routines. The single database concept also provides for ease of maintenance and ensures data integrity. Security is controlled by the customer and is sufficiently flexible to support all business processes. The system is table-driven to facilitate real-time data updates and maintenance. Many of these tables are on-line for customer use. FPPS also offers all required electronic interfaces with the U.S. Treasury, OPM, National Finance Center (NFC), and various accounting systems. The system offers extensive data warehousing capabilities.

Other features include:

• Menu-driven screens
• Immediate on-line processing
• Single source data entry
• Action suspense
• Retroactive personnel actions/pay processing
• Various on-line reports and queries
• On-line edits
• Easily accessible data
• On-line help screens

FPPS fulfills the requirements and specifications established by the Paperwork Reduction Act, the President's Council on Management Improvement for Federal Automated systems, Government Accounting Office (GAO), Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and the Joint Financial Management Improvement Program (JFMIP). It also satisfies initiatives of the National Partnership for Reinventing Government.

In addition to NBC's Quicktime Time & Attendance product, FPPS also offers an integrated T&A system. It provides automated routing and certification and extensive on-line editing. The T&A system, like the rest of the FPPS, is available in a Web version (WebFPPS) and has security controls that allow the customer to set the agency's profiles for approval authorities according to agency needs.

FPPS generates personnel and payroll outputs that simplify workflow, including:

• On-line management information system
• EEO information
