Abstract
The study examined the gains and pains of Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS) Policy implementation in Nigeria. The paper was qualitative descriptive one. The study found that IPPIS has been able to mitigate problems associated with salary payment of public servants but the feat came with some pains or burdens to both public servants and IPPIS implementers. The study recommends among others that: the IPPIS should decentralize its activity, get more autonomy to operate effectively and the need for the remodification and redesigning of the software to accommodate more organizational flexibility and peculiarity.
