“Today marks the beginning of full transitioning of all payroll-related activities to the Civil Service Agency as required by law,” he said. We had two payroll systems – one that was managed by the CSA under the Civil Service Module and then the general allowance managed by the head of entities. The fact that general allowance was purely discretionary, it inflated the wage bill, it created disparity [and] created all kinds of inequality on the payroll.”The Alternative Temporary Automated Payroll System (ATAPS) is currently processing payroll for the Government of Liberia. This system was put in place because the previous system (Civil Service Module) did not meet the requirements for multi-currency functionality adopted under the new harmonization scheme. Currently, the transition is on the way to migrate data from ATAPS to the CSM platform deployed at the CSA.
