Reporting Group: A group that is tied to an employer, with which sections, employees, and employer reps are associated. Each reporting group is associated with a specific pay cycle (e.g., monthly, biweekly, etc.) Permissions to the Phoenix Employer Portal will be based on the reporting group. For SAM II agencies, the reporting group will be a combination of the SAM II agency and organization code(s).

Local Employer Representative (ER): An individual at a non-SAM II agency with secure access to the Phoenix Employer Portal. A Local Employer Representative from each reporting group will be responsible for payroll reports. These reps have access to the expanded or condensed file format (set per reporting group) and may roll forward previous payrolls.

SAM II Employer Representative: An individual at a SAM II agency with secure access to the Phoenix Employer Portal. A SAM II Employer Representative from each reporting group will be responsible for payroll reports. These reps have access to the SAM II (expanded) file format but are not able to upload, download or roll forward.
