Common Systems - Central Time and Attendance System
The Central Time and Attendance System (CTAS) is a common employee timekeeping processing and management benefit system. It is on-line and applies comprehensive means to process, record, and track a variety of time-related benefits for employees. CTAS maintains historical records of employee time data and can generate audit trails pertaining to adjustments when requested. It is offered for use by 31 consolidated and non-consolidated Illinois State agencies and is administered by the Enterprise Business Application Systems (EBAS) Team.
CTAS averages 400,000+ transactions per month. By offering a common application such as CTAS to its customers, BCCS is able to reduce the costs associated with individual duplication of employee benefit-time processing among its various customers. CTAS' customers also benefit from enhanced flexibility and report processing.
