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, servicing 180,000+ accounts. 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 data base 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).
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 including the Centralized Personnel Data File 296-33 Table. 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.
