One embodiment of the present invention relates to a system that enables a user of an application that runs natively on a client to obtain access to a web resource that is affiliated with the native application. First, the native application obtains an access token from a Central Authentication Service (CAS). Next, the native application sends a secure request for a one-time use session token to the CAS. If the CAS determines the request is valid, the CAS initializes a session token and sends the session token to the native application. After receiving the session token, the native application directs a browser to an endpoint server, appending the session token to the browser's request. Finally, the endpoint server initializes an authenticated session wherein the authenticated session is scoped to the desired web resource.

A method and system for streamlined payroll set up and compliant paycheck generation whereby a computing system implemented payroll system is provided that maintains a payroll record for each employee. In one embodiment, data indicating the minimum information required by the law to generate a compliant paycheck is obtained. When a user begins the process of generating a paycheck for a given employee, the given employee's payroll record data is analyzed and compared with the data indicating the minimum information to determine if the given employee's payroll record data includes all of the minimum information. If the given employee's payroll record data includes the minimum information, then the given employee's payroll record is marked as having the compliant paycheck data and the requested paycheck is generated. If the given employee's payroll record data does not include the minimum information, then the user is asked to provide at least enough missing data to extrapolate the minimum information and when the missing data is obtained, the given employee's payroll record is marked as having the compliant paycheck data and the requested paycheck is generated.
