New Army app provides mobile access to HR, pay records
The Army has released a new human resources mobile application for the Integrated Personnel and Pay System – Army (IPPS-A) that allows Soldiers to access their personnel records using a mobile phone or tablet. IPPS-A is the Army’s next generation human resources and pay system that revolutionizes the way the Army does business and brings the Total Force into the digital age. The app provides Soldiers with the flexibility to operate on the move and is secured over a commercial network. Adding to this ease of use, Commanders and HR professionals can access their elevated roles by using the app’s CAC authentication option, allowing them to review and approve transactions without being tied down to their desk or office. Through the app, self-service transactions — including trouble tickets — are automated, paper-free and trackable from initiation to approval.
