FASIS Development and Initiatives 1999

Monthly Vacation Accruals in FASIS
Moved the tracking of annual reporting of Vacation Accruals for Exempt staff from a database system to FASIS. Currently FASIS accrues exempt vacation accruals on a monthly basis and then create an annual letter to employees asking for their usage through the year.

GME Payroll
The Graduate Medical Education payroll (Residents and Interns), was moved from the mainframe system to FASIS. This was a year 2000 endeavor. The Medical School had update capabilities to do all HR and Payroll transactions for the GME Payroll. We built in rotation schedules, program levels, and billing capabilities for all of the other participating hospitals who supported the GME Payroll.

Program to check SSN and Name match
We created a file to send to the Social Security Administration on a quarterly basis to check on employee names that do not match their Social Security Number name. If W2s are issued with name mistmatches, fines of $50.00 per employees can be levied against the University.

Non Resident Independent Contractor Program
Modified system to accommodate taxation for non resident Independent Contractors. At the same time, we purchased WINDSTAR to track non resident aliens and keep up with regulatory requirements on treaties and taxation regulations.

Upgrade to Release 7.5

Implement Pre Tax Parking and Transit Coupons
Updated the interface from the Parking Office to enroll employees automatically into FASIS. We then offered all employees parking and transit coupons on a pretaxed basis.

Created a report that would track federal and non federal accounts in FASIS and identify which ones needed additional fringe benefit charges.
