Human Resources

Human Resources

Human Resources functions mainly involve enrolling new employees into the system and terminating employees who leave your agency.

Payroll

Payroll functions include both reporting the service and compensation earned by employees and remitting and reconciling contribution payments. Payroll staff will need to be able to enter the banking information and authorize payments.

HR and Payroll

Human Resources and Payroll functions may be handled by the same staff members in some agencies, in which case they will need training in both.

Employer Admin

Employer Admin functions involve controlling who has access to the ESS portal. Admins will establish the login credentials for other staff members and define which tasks they can perform.

AASIS

AASIS functions mainly involve reviewing employees' demographic, employment, and compensation information. AASIS users can also report compensation and service adjustments for previous periods.
