Web Site: http://www.ucop.edu/payrollThe Payroll/Personnel Services group maintains and enhances the University's base payroll system, the Payroll/Personnel System (PPS), which is the mechanism by which employees are paid, tax records are maintained, financial charges calculated, and union eligibility and dues are managed. PPS also collects data for the UC Retirement System, handles insurance enrollments and premium assessments, acts as a repository for demographic data, and does extensive reporting. PPS is primarily a mainframe-based system but increasingly relies on Web-based components.
The system must be updated regularly and new “releases” issued as a result of a variety of factors, including legal mandates (i.e., tax code revisions), changes to the University's health and welfare benefits, renegotiated contracts with labor unions, and customer-requested enhancements to provide new functions or interfaces. Over the last twenty years, nearly 1,800 releases of the base payroll system have been issued. The Payroll/Personnel System interfaces with the Corporate Data Warehouse, the UC Retirement System, At Your Service Online, and the Senior Leadership Information System, among other payroll and human resources-related systems. It also interfaces with systems run by external entities such as labor unions, insurance carriers, Fidelity Investments (the University's master record keeper for employees' retirement-related investments), and state and federal tax agencies.
The Payroll/Personnel Services group also supports the Effort Reporting System, which is a compliance mechanism by which "effort" or personnel time spent on federally sponsored projects is certified per federal regulation. IR&C developed the system at the request of the campuses to modernize the University's effort reporting process so as to avoid significant audit disallowances or rulings for financial settlements against the University. Five campuses use the system; IR&C runs the system for three of these campuses.
The unit also maintains and enhances the Corporate Title Code System, which defines and stores University payroll titles and provides updates to campuses.
