IRIS Perks
My ePay Window includes IRIS Perks, giving employees access to discounts, savings, and financial wellbeing offers from the navigation menu, at no extra cost. Participation is controlled at three levels: by a Payroll Department user, by an employer, and by an employee, because employers and Payroll Department users are responsible for employee data, and employees own their own personal data.
