The City of Newport & Newport Public Schools have launched MUNIS, a new payroll and employee self-service system. Employees can now securely access pay stubs, update personal information, and manage tax details online. This site is available for all full-time, per diem and school committee members.  

(July 2, 2025: The ESS system is currently unavailable due to an issue that the MUNIS team is working to resolve.  HR will send an email when you are able to access the system.) 

Important Updates:

• Paper pay stubs will no longer be mailed to employees receiving direct deposit.  Paystubs will be viewable through the Employee Self Service (ESS) portal.

• The following updates can be made through ESS:

  • Address changes

  • Phone number

  • W-4 tax withholding

• Any changes to your Direct Deposit can be made by completing this form and submitting it directly to NPS Payroll at City Hall.

• Year-to-date (YTD) payroll information will not appear on paychecks until data migration from our former payroll system to Munis is complete. The completion date is TBD.

Please refrain from contacting the payroll staff unless there is a serious issue with your paycheck.

Due to construction at NACTC, the HR staff is temporarily located at Pell Elementary for the summer.  HR summer office hours are 9 am-1 pm Monday - Thursday.  If you need to come outside of these hours, please make an appointment.  The office is closed to the public on Fridays.

Thank you for your patience with the HR and Payroll staff during this transition.
