Payroll Processing System (PAYE). Using the data entered in webTA 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.

Personnel Input System (PINE). PINE is a subsystem of PPS. PINE edits data released from Payroll/Personnel entry systems, payroll documents, and position data. PINE edits the data before it is applied to the Payroll/Personnel database, comparing the employee's database record to the data being entered. PINE processes personnel actions and payroll documents Monday through Friday of each week and on the first Saturday of the pay period, regardless of the effective pay period.

Personnel Update System (PEPL). PEPL performs the update function of the personnel areas of the database. All documents passing validation through PINE are processed through PEPL for transmission to the database. The data is retrieved during the pay period from PEPL and displayed in IRIS.
