ERA, Grapevine’s new Employee Retirement Administration product is an innovative solution that allows Payroll, HR or Pensions Administration staff to automatically produce Pension Benefit Statements for their employees. ERA was designed and developed with the assistance and expertise of senior pension administration staff within An Post, Ireland's national postal service.

ERA can be used by small, medium or large organizations to calculate pension entitlements and automatically generate pension benefit statements for their employees quickly, accurately and on demand.

ERA supports the production of both annual statements and ad-hoc statement requests from employees. ERA will enable companies to meet their statutory pensions requirements as defined by the Irish Pensions Board.

ERA can be customized to cater for different pension calculation rules, statement formats and specific payroll, HR and pensions information.

ERA’s key features include:

• Web application for administration and management of employee information and production of benefit statements.
• Automatic calculation of pension entitlements and generation of pension benefit statements.
• Management of employee service and payment information required for pension entitlement calculations.
• Production of benefit statements in PDF format which are stored securely within the ERA database and not on disk.
• Interface to existing Payroll and HR systems to retrieve service and payment information.

Future product features will include:

• Support for additional statements.
• Electronic delivery of statements by email.
• Feature to upload and securely store other employee pension related documents.
• Role based security access to application functions.
• Web service to provide individual benefit statements to other applications.
