Colorado Personnel Payroll System (CPPS)
The Colorado Personnel Payroll System (CPPS) is the State of Colorado's integrated Human Resources and Payroll Management System. To obtain access into the system, users must complete the Security Access Authorization Form, the Certificate of Compliance, and attend a comprehensive new user training session. Until all requirements have been met, no access will be granted. Users who require a combination of Human Resources, Benefits, and Payroll access must obtain an exception from the State Controller before being given access into the system. Please contact hr.support@state.co.us to arrange for training. If you need assistance obtaining or writing agency exception requests, please contact Central Payroll.
The CPPS User Manual provides a detailed guide on how to use and operate the CPPS system. The CPPS Glossary will define terms associated with the CPPS system.
