Summary:

The Joint Financial Management Improvement Program surveyed selected civilian payroll systems in the Federal Government to create a guide which would help agencies redesign and update their payroll systems. This guide describes the special features and unique characteristics of the different systems.

During the project, GAO found that two major Federal departments are implementing a payroll system that was developed and used by another major Federal department. By adopting a payroll system already in existence, the two departments will be able to avoid large initial investments in the design, programing, and implementation of the system and it will be operational much sooner. GAO feels that better payroll systems can be developed at less cost through the process of sharing.
