Systems that are utilized by the T&A process are described below.

GovTA

GovTA is a web-based Time and Attendance (T&A) application specifically designed to support the Federal workforce T&A process and provides employees with an online, easy-to-use process with numerous capabilities for efficiently managing timekeeping tasks.

Information/Research Inquiry System (IRIS)

IRIS is used as a tool for researching personnel-related inquiries received from employees and other sources. IRIS provides immediate access to at least 25 pay periods of current data, historical personnel data beginning with fiscal year 1991, and certain payroll document history.

Insight

Insight's integrated data warehouse enables users to build reports and dashboards with data from the following sources:

  • Administrative Billings and Collections System (ABCO)
  • EmpowHR
  • Payroll Accounting System (PACS)
  • Personnel
  • Salary
  • Pay Data
  • Personnel History Information System (PERHIS)
  • Position Management System Online (PMSO)
  • Table Management System (TMGT)

Management Account Structure Codes System (MASC)

MASC is composed of tables and accounting codes. The accounting codes entered in Agencies T&A systems are edited against MASC.

Paycheck8

Paycheck8 is a Web-based, Time and Attendance (T&A) application specially designed to meet the T&A reporting requirements for Federal Departments or Agencies and their employees. This application permits T&A information to be entered, verified, electronically certified, and submitted for processing to a centralized PPS.

Payroll Computation System (PAYE)

Using the data entered in your Agency T&A system and the related personnel information from the database, PAYE computes the employee’s gross pay, makes applicable deductions, applies adjustments (corrected T&As and/or personnel documents) from ADJP, develops the net amount due, and prepares data for the issuance of a salary payment by Treasury. PAYE updates the database to reflect salary payments as well as the employee’s leave. PAYE also prepares an earnings statement for all paid employees each pay period, reflecting the current payment, plus year-to-date information on earnings, deductions, leave, adjustments, retirement, etc.

Payroll/Personnel Inquiry System (PINQ)

PINQ is used as a tool for researching payroll-related inquiries received from employees and other sources. PINQ provides immediate access to at least 25 pay periods of current payroll data. Data entered, transmitted, and received through NFC's and Agencies' T&A systems are displayed in PINQ after it passes the TIME edits.

Payroll/Personnel Report Generator System (CULPRPT)

CULPRPT is an online reporting system used to generate formatted payroll and personnel-related reports. CULPRPT reports are used to alert Agency staff of missing T&As or personnel documents, discrepancies in leave balances, and failure of TIME edits.

Reporting Center

The Reporting Center is a Web-based reporting tool that provides a secured and valid method of obtaining sensitive and nonsensitive information in an electronic environment.

System for Time and Attendance Reporting (STAR)

A Web-based system used to prepare T&A data, perform preliminary edits, and submit to NFC for processing.

Statement of Earnings and Leave (EARN)

EARN is an inquiry system that displays the employee’s biweekly earnings minus any deductions. Data entered in Agencies' T&A systems are displayed in EARN after the second pass of PAYE executes.

T&A Validation System (TIME)

The secondary editing of T&As entered in Agencies' T&A systems against mainframe data is accomplished through TIME. TIME reads, collects, edits, audits, and validates the data for payment. Any errors encountered are reflected on an error list (CULPRPT P0053), and the T&A in question is placed in an error suspense file. The T&A is corrected at NFC and is processed through TIME again. After the T&A passes all edits and is validated, the data is updated on the database for subsequent payment processing.

Table Management System (TMGT)

TMGT is an online system that contains valid values and descriptions for selected data elements used in PPS. TMGT allows individuals to query, update, request reports, and view data. TIME validates transaction codes (TC), contact points, etc., against tables in TMGT.

Time Inquiry - Leave Update System (TINQ)

TINQ is an online leave entry and correction system used to update leave data that is incorrect and cannot be corrected by submission of corrected T&As. It is also used to transfer leave for employees participating in the Voluntary Leave Transfer Program, the Voluntary Leave Bank Program, or the Emergency Leave Bank Program.

webTA

webTA is a Web-based application that was specifically designed to support the Federal workforce time and attendance process and provides employees with an online, easy-to-use process with numerous capabilities for efficiently managing timekeeping tasks.
