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.
