NewPay payroll and work schedule and leave management Software as a Service

Challenge: Federal payroll operations commonly rely on decades-old legacy software, which is costly and difficult to maintain.

Approach & Outcomes: With TMF support, GSA created a minimum viable product using Software as a Service (SaaS). The goal was to lay a new foundation for an enterprise solution for human resource (HR) functions across government, including payroll and work schedule and leave management.

Given uncertain timing of agency migrations to the new tool and lack of appropriations for planning and migration activities in FY19 and FY20, GSA reduced the scope and funding required for their TMF investment.

By the end of the project, GSA:

• Designed and configured the NewPay payroll solution for 65 pay plans
• Completed verification testing for 12 of the most common plans, at a reduced cost of less than $8M
• Stood up initial payroll capabilities for Title 5 employees
• Provided a tool that demonstrates how federal HR standards and regulations can be applied for a commercial SaaS solution in a federal environment
