  1. Army Personnel and Pay Integration Initiatives Consolidated Army Action Plan May 1997

  2. Purpose To outline Army’s plan to meet DoD requirements for personnel and pay systems interfaces and the Army goal of personnel and pay functional integration

  3. Consolidation of pay and personnel (COPPER) implemented COPPER terminated BackgroundPerPay Historical Time Line Army implemented AF pay system with 5 interfaces used in JUMPS-Army. Additional interfaces not implemented due to DS/DS SSI BPR terminated: results inconclusive due to limited scope. HQDA establishes consolidated PerPay TF SFMOC directed the Army to implement additional interfaces. Army implemented quick fix for 14 events Interfaces for 5 pay events implemented. Interfaces for additional pay events studied to make Army on par with AF on PerPay interfaces Scope of the integration effort has evolved over time. From 1993-1996, numerous starts, stops, and direction changes have slowed progress toward PerPay integration as Army searches for right approach. 1965 1975 1978 1988 1989 1991 1993 1994 1995 1996 Post DS/DS GAO report to Sec Def cited Army for monetary losses and attributed them to the lack of PerPay interfaces TAG and PERSINSCOM begin work on interfaces Paper Personnel and Pay records separated Army initiates SSI BPR Army completes 22 pay events and develops a game plan to completely interface personnel and pay systems Army studied feasibility of adopting a sister service personnel system instead of developing SIDPERS-3 Since 1975, Army has pursued feasibility of interfacing personnel and pay systems with no clear direction/vision Increasing awareness of waste, fraud and abuse has increased Army leadership’s commitment to completing PerPay interfaces

  4. Personnel/Pay Integration Vision and Goals Vision: A state of the art integrated personnel & finance system that provides seamless support to all customers. Mission: Provide commanders personnel and finance support through functional integration of personnel and finance processes, technical interfaces of military personnel and pay systems and, if feasible, structural merger of personnel & finance units. Integrated automation systems will be key to the success. As such, the system must be capable of seamless support to all active and reserve components, and functional on the battlefield as well as in garrison. Integration of structure, functions, and systems must enhance the commander’s ability to meet mission requirements and increase quality of life for soldiers, as well as provide timely strength and accounting information for personnel and finance operations managers. Goals: • Seamless personnel and pay processes • Internal controls and audit procedures that prevent loss of funds • Single source data entry (minimize rekeying) • Reduce system mismatches • Improve customer service • Meet USD (Comptroller) requirements • Serve both AC & RC personnel

  5.

  13. Interfaces Programming/Business Process Comparison Programming Schedule Processes/Business Rules Schedule • By the end of FY 95, 21 automated interfaces were completed using existing systems, to include SIDPERS 2/2.75 • SIDPERS-3 is capable of providing most interfaces to the payroll system, but not all. • Additional resources are needed to program other systems and re-engineer business processes. • To maximize interfaces and functional capability, multiple systems will be programmed for the same pay event (i.e. RECBASS initiates many pay entitlements upon accession. SIDPERS-3 or another system will make updates and changes as entitlements or options change --SGLI, BAQ, etc.) Reflects the complete 128 pay event inventory. 17 pay events require additional analysis for system determination.

  14. Soldier Debt Avoidance Soldier Debt Avoidance/ New Out-processing Procedures

  15. New Out-processing ProceduresBackground • 1994 DFAS statistical reports showed approximately $87 million Army loss due to out-of-service debt. • 1994 DoD IG report cited the Army as the worst of all services with one in four soldiers separating with a debt. • Comparison to sister services revealed that the Air Force consistently meets or exceeds the DFAS standard of 15% of service members separating in debt. • Research on Army installation procedures indicated that there was room for improvement Army-wide. Installations that best controlled debt were using stringent clearance procedures similar to those used by the AF. • DoD Debt Avoidance Task Force directed the Army and the Navy to conduct a test of new out-processing procedures aimed at identifying debt before a soldier reports to the final separation station. • 19 Sep 95 Information Paper outlining test provided to MACOM DCSPERS. • 20 Sep 95 Information briefed to MACOM DCSPERS at DCSPER VTC. • 11-20 Oct 95 MACOM DCSPERS notified by email of pending changes and where possible HQDA Letter and test forms provided electronically. • Test began 1 Nov 95 and will continue through 1 May 96.

  16. Summary of Out-of-service DebtTest Procedures • HQDA Letter implementing instructions provided to all installations. • New DA Form 137 (Test) issued to all out-processing soldiers. • Extensive checks for debts required by all installation agencies to which a soldier could become indebted (i.e. housing, AER, transportation, etc.) • FY 95 average debt statistics serve as the baseline for comparison. • Evaluation of debt reduction made monthly beginning with Dec 95 data. • Use of existing automation systems to meet requirements is encouraged. UCAS and DA ISM both provide excellent capability to gather the required information and thus minimize the soldier traffic to each agency. • Initial instructions targeted all PCS and separating soldier population. MACOMs allowed to focus on separating population if installation circumstances warrant it. • ODCSPER approval of exceptions.

  18. Business process re-engineering and systems modifications Current Target TAPDB TAPDB Per SIDPERS-3 (reconciliation) (limited) (manual) DFAS UNCOMPLETED ACTIONS: Training Doctrine Structure Data Standardization Funding Manpower Pay DFAS • Separate personnel & pay systems • Much data unique to each system • Paper trail between local Per Office and local Pay Office • Multiple source input to top of Per & Pay systems • Totally automated and interfaced Army PerPay Systems • Shared single source data entry to top of Per & Pay systems • Unnecessary paper eliminated

  19. SIDPERS-3 Interfaces Schedule • 1988 pay interfaces began with SSD. • Following a 1993 GAO report which outlined deficiencies of the personnel and payroll systems, the Army began aggressive programs to correct deficiencies and maximize interfaces. • In 1994, DoD led a study of current SIDPERS 2/2.75 and determined that it was not technologically possible to add additional pay interfaces to that system. • In 1995, the Army developed a plan that would build on the new SIDPERS-3 capabilities and provide maximum pay interfaces. • SIDPERS-3 PerPay enhancement plan consists of a time phased plan of six program releases from FY96-FY99. The plan is a joint plan with ODCSPER, DFAS and ASA (FM&C).

  23. SSI Service to the Soldier Study Task ISSUE 35 1. TRADOC develop feasibility study timelines and concept for entry into FDU 98-2 2. Incorporate current PerPay business process re-engineering study being conducted jointly by ASA(M&RA) and ASA (FM&C) , and FM 14-100 was published 7 May 1997. 3. DCSOPS, if FDU results are approved by VCSA/CSA, transition the Army to the new force structure design. 4. USAFISA, if FDU results are approved by the VCSA/CSA, document the new organizational design. 5. No branches will be dissolved and the opportunity to compete for command will be maximized.

  26. PerPay Data Reconciliation PerPay Data Reconciliation

  27. Ongoing Data Reconciliation Efforts • C27/UCFR Reconciliation • Working with ASA (FM&C) to evaluate the proposal to provide a standard software program to the field, so that commanders and S1s can leverage automation systems to reconcile database differences at the unit level. • Military Pay Reject Analysis • Established procedure where DFAS provides the Army monthly statistical analysis of military pay errors caused by personnel transactions. PERSCOM analyses the data to separate system incompatibility errors from personnel input errors (i.e. promotions rejects caused by DFAS software) • Database 'Bumps' • Monthly database bumps are conducted to ensure that no record exists on the pay system that is not verified by the personnel system. • Additional comparisons are planned to ensure that more data is matched, i.e. grade and ETS date • Procedures to routinely verify personnel strength and payroll strength being initiated • Pursuing other means to minimize data reconciliation problems due to processing dates, i.e. USR as of 15th, UCFR as of 20th and Personnel Accountability Reports as of 30th

  28. PerPay Policy IntegrationBusiness Process Re-engineering Policy Integration Business Processes

  29. Characteristics • Supports minimal PSS battlefield footprint while providing maximum information support capability. • Automation systems rely on single source input from the lowest practical level. • Business practices and automation systems compliant with established DoD standards. • Automation systems enable DFAS and other agencies to share needed data. • Connectivity through the automation system will be seamless and transparent to the users. • Complementary to the Army Battle Command architecture. • Reduces paper processing to that required by law.
