It operates a centralized digital portal that connects the National Register of Persons, the Crossroads Bank for Social Security, and approved vacation funds so workers can view their vacation balance, payment dates, and download attestations and fiscal certificates. The agency also operates an employer filing system (Fichier Vacances) for submitting worker salary and attendance data.
