Updated: 4/10/15 BC and JP EIS Information System Reporting Instructions There are two reports, an Employee report (EIS Employment) and a Salary report (EIS Salary) for reporting the new information that is required to ISBE.

Tables have been provided for each report that matches up the EIS field with the table and field used in SDS along with other information.
