Teammates,
I wanted to provide you with an update on IPPS-A’s absence management process.
IPPS-A’s Self-Service Absence and HR Pro Absence Management pages have migrated to the Pay, Absence, Incentive Pay, and Deduction (PAID) page. Thank you to those who approved/ denied their pending requests by the 25 December 2023 deadline; we know this was a big undertaking, and your support has truly helped us improve the system.
We also understand the timeframe was tight, especially given the holiday season. Therefore, we’ve made some adjustments:
Pending absences have not been converted to a “Pending Converted Absence” status, but rather a “Saved” status. Soldiers and HR Professionals with pending absence requests prior to the migration can follow these simple steps:
- Access the Pay-Absence-Incent-Ded (PAID) page.
- Locate the request by selecting “Absences” in the entry type drop down.
- Choose “Saved” in the status dropdown menu.
- Select “Search.”
- Select the Amend/View icon to open the request.
- Re-submit the request.
NOTE: There is no longer a need to re-submit a request by opening a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) case.
Resources
We have multiple User Productivity Kits (UPKs) covering the functionality of Absences in IPPS-A. These can be found at the
IPPS-A Additional Help and Documentation page. Uncheck the box labeled “Applicable,” and expand (+) “Compensate” and then “Payroll Absences” to find the applicable UPKs:
- Create an Absence Request on Behalf of a Member
- Approve or Deny an Absence
- Cancel an Absence Request
- View/Update an Absence Request
Thank you for your continued support and engagement as we improve IPPS-A. Please let us know if you have any questions — we are here to help.
v/r,
Becky
