Disclaimer

NERIS is currently under development by the Fire Safety Research Institute (FSRI). This guide reflects the system as implemented in EPR FireWorks. Functionality may evolve as NERIS continues development toward full national implementation by January 2026.


The Payroll tab logs personnel involved in an incident, capturing their response details and compensation metrics to support payroll processing and NERIS reporting. This tab is designed to document compensation details for responders involved in an incident. The Payroll tab enables users to track personnel assignments, response types, hours worked, and associated pay, ensuring accurate financial reporting and compliance with departmental payroll policies.

Only responders assigned to apparatuses can be added to the PayRoll tab.
