Using IPS: Introduction

• Users from the Human Resources staff may have the privilege to edit employee data and can keep track of employee hires, terminations, headcounts, transfers, and managing job titles and employee salaries.
• In some company offices, like those in Canada, Dominican Republic, Fiji, Ghana, Guatemala, India, Jamaica, Philippines, and certain locations in Mexico, IPS interacts with the FEPS.
  The FEPS (Front End Payroll System) provides features to do the following:
  • Register and track employee time and attendance.
  • Submit and track piece rate transactions for ABC employees (Achievement Based Compensation).
  • Calculate employee gross pay according employee pay type (salary, hourly, piece rate)
  
  Basically, in the aforementioned locations, the FEPS is used to calculate employee earnings while employee deductions and local benefits are calculated by the IPS. Users from the Finance and Payroll department may use IPS to access all payroll related info and particular payroll reports, like transaction detail or payroll summary breakdown. However, they do not have access to modify employee personal info as this falls within the responsibility of the HR office.
• Users from the Operations side, like production managers, supervisors or team leaders, may use the IPS along with the FEPS system to record and monitor employee time and attendance. In compliance with company policies, the access privileges of these users are restricted to view only basic employee data, like names and working hierarchy.
  
  
• IPS features a "minimal access" user account, which is used in locations where IPS is used as the payroll application. This account allows all users to have access to view their own personal pay slip at the end of every pay period.
  Viewing their own pay slip is the only access privilege in "minimal access" user accounts.
