Flexible Payroll for the Enterprise

Workday Payroll is designed to address the full spectrum of enterprise payroll needs and includes the control, accuracy, and flexibility to support the unique aspects of your organization. Through intuitive self-service and configuration capabilities, Workday Payroll ensures day-to-day and periodto-period payroll activities run smoothly and consistently.

Leverage Your Investment in Workday HCM

Workday Payroll is built as part of Workday Human Capital Management (HCM). With Workday Payroll and HCM, you can maximize your overall investment and leverage built-in efficiencies.

• Use the same business process framework and core worker data stored within Workday HCM, including worker information, benefits, compensation, and time off.
• Provide a unified self-service solution. Employees can request time off, check online pay slips, and make payment elections all from the same system.

Address Your Unique Requirements

Traditional payroll solutions provide hard-coded, out-of-the-box packages that are often unable to accommodate specific business needs. Workday provides flexible and intuitive configuration capabilities that can support your organization’s advanced requirements.

• Define earnings and deductions using compensation elements and benefit plan costs captured by Workday HCM.
• Create identifying eligibility criteria and scheduling logic, such as taking medical deductions only on the first pay period of each month.
• Configure accumulations, balance periods, and balances according to your current calculation and reporting needs.
• Easily modify or add to the list of accumulations, balance periods, or balances at any time and continue to retrieve these values for previously processed periods.
• Group your workers into logical pay groups according to your organizational needs, with no restrictions related to the Employer ID (U.S. FEIN or Canada Business Number) or type of worker.
• Secure worker data according to your business needs.
