When adding on another Workday product area or expanding into new countries or regions, use the
Global Library
report to view sample configurations and common compliance requirements.
The
Global Library
report is a preconfigured profile of 2 types of configurations:
  • Workday delivered and maintained statutory guidance configurations. Example: State minimum wages, tax calculations, withholding and court order data, address and name formats.
  • Sample configurations. On the sample configuration tabs, you'll see a description of how to implement them.
The
Global Library
report is also available as a menu item from these Workday-delivered dashboards:
  • Pay Cycle Command Center
  • Payroll Compliance Updates
When you click
View Library
for that country or country region, the
Global Library
reports display under these product areas:
