Concept: Payroll Custom Worktags

You can use custom worktags in earnings, deductions, and payroll journal entries. You can also use them in payroll calculations. However, you can't use custom worktags for payroll costing allocations and accounting adjustments.

To help manage the resolution of complex calculations, such as pensionable earnings, use multiple custom worktags. They enable you to define a set of worktag types that require valid values when you use payroll input with that pay component.

For Payroll for Canada, the UK, and the U.S., Workday displays a separate resolution on the worker's payslip for each like set of worktag values.

If you’re using multiple custom worktag types, you can't combine them with other worktag types, such as

Global Modern Services uses 3 custom worktags: Campaign, Channel, and Business Unit, when entering its pensionable wage earnings. The payroll administrator enables the 3 as custom worktag types, and includes these values for each row of payroll input.

The employer contribution for the worker's pension is based on these amounts. Workday combines the display of the first 3 amounts as 275, because all 3 are for Campaign 10, Channel 1, and Business Unit 30. The other 3 display separately, because they are unlike sets of values: with either a different campaign (10 or 11) or a different channel (1 or 2).
