HRM Structural Development

Abstract

Air Force Integrated Personnel and Pay System (AFIPPS) will be a web-enabled, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution that will integrate existing personnel and pay processes into one self-service system. AFIPPS supports how the Air Force owns and operates the Human Resource Management domain and is a component of the AF/A1 digital transformation journey, currently underway. AFIPPS continues the transformation by providing an accurate and single authoritative source of personnel data to ensure timely delivery of pay, entitlements, allowances, and benefits to all Active (RegAF), National Guard (ANG), and Reserve (AFRes) components. AFIPPS represents the AF commitment to modernize business practices and provide enhanced support to service members and their families by integrating personnel and pay systems. AFIPPS will eliminate AF reliance on the end-of-life/unsustainable Defense Finance and Accounting (DFAS) Defense Joint Military Pay System (DJMS) for payroll processing and will ensure continued/improved auditability of service member pay. The AFIPPS program will directly increase AF readiness for the total force service members, human resources and financial management specialists and AF Commanders. AFIPPS will improve the AF communities experience by allowing members to update via self-initiate pay/personnel actions, commencing automated transmission of verified personnel data, decreasing pay errors and providing accurate personnel/pay data for leadership decision making. In October 2019, the AFIPPS program revised its release strategy to include two major releases. The program will leverage a Military Personnel Data System (MilPDS) self-service capability deployment to ensure infrastructure for pay and leave capability is in place. The self-service capability will deploy in Jan 2021, allowing the AF community to initiate self-registration, validate member data and verify operational performance. The AFIPPS pay and leave capabilities will be released on the backbone of the MilPDS system in Jan 2022 to coincide with domestic and international transactions. The FY20 Congressional reduction of 3080 procurement funding leaves program without ability to field pay and leave capabilities. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver AFIPPS capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605831F. Also, funds will be used to perform studies and innovative integration efforts for common technology capabilities such as cloud migration, technology development, and mobile application. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
