The Air Force is quickly approaching the initial phases of the Air Force Integrated Personnel and Pay System (AFIPPS) rollout. AFIPPS will enable accurate and prompt pay to our Airmen, which is an integral part of taking care of our Total Force. System development and strategies for testing and training are in full swing and soon AFPC will send more details on training and AFIPPS account creation. Before this can happen, the AFIPPS Organizational Change Management (OCM) team intends to equip all Force Support Squadron and Comptroller Squadron locations with essential AFIPPS materials.

The OCM team is sending out AFIPPS educational material packages to every FSS to share with their CPTS counterparts. Each package contains a letter from Colonel E. Jonelle Eychner, Chief, AFIPPS Functional Management Office, and Mr. Eric Cuebas, Director, Air Force Accounting and Finance, to explain the intent of the materials and how to display them. Materials include: AFIPPS business cards, AFIPPS posters, and brochures that provide detail on “Why AFIPPS?” and how it will affect the future of personnel and pay. It is important to communicate with the field that not only will AFIPPS improve the 50,000 pay problems reported annually, but it will address the manual work-arounds and pay timeliness issues.

So far, the OCM team has sent out 113 of 266 packages to various Air Force Reserve Command, Air National Guard, and Regular Air Force locations and plan to be complete within the next few months. Their team is working diligently to get the materials printed, assembled, and taken to the local BITC office. If your location has not already received a box of materials, it should be arriving soon. Let them know if you need more of the materials.

For real time access to educational materials, messaging, and updates, visit the AFIPPS Portal page. Informational videos and webcasts are also available on the AFIPPS YouTube playlist. Please keep an eye out on your component’s respective Facebook page for additional AFIPPS related information and visit the AFIPPS page on the AFPC website. The OCM team is available for questions, comments, or concerns at their org box, afpoa.afipps.ocm@us.af.mil.
