Steps: Set Up Payroll to Pay Time

Steps: Set Up Payroll to Pay Time

Create time calculation tags.
Configure Workday Payroll to retrieve and pay approved calculated time from Workday Time Tracking.
  1. Set up tax location mapping to have Workday map reported locations from time blocks to tax authority worktags.
  2. Map time periods to pay periods to define:
    • The dates for which workers can enter time.
    • The dates for which Payroll retrieves calculated time each pay period.
    • Lockout dates to prevent time entry while processing payroll.
  3. Set up retro pay functionality.
    To process prior period time adjustments and to pay time on a lag, use the
    Run Retro Pay Calculation
     task before running payroll each period.
  5. To have Workday Payroll retrieve values for custom worktags that are associated with hours, set the worktag usage to
    Payroll
    .
During the
Run Pay Calculation
 task, Workday retrieves the time periods. Workday then filters for approved calculated time blocks that have calculation tags that match the tags assigned to the earnings.
