Steps: Control Visibility of Pay Components on Payroll Accounting Adjustments

Steps: Control Visibility of Pay Components on Payroll Accounting Adjustments

Enhance security for your sensitive data by creating segmented security to define which roles can create payroll accounting adjustments for specific pay components.
Workday applies segmented security to the
Pay Components
prompt on the
Create Payroll Accounting Adjustments
task. The security group only impacts the pay components that the initiator can access on the initiation step of the
Create Payroll Accounting Adjustments
business process. Workday doesn't restrict access to pay components when:
  • Adjustments are
    Sent Back
    by a reviewer during the
    Payroll Accounting Adjustments
    business process.
  • Payroll accounting adjustments are initiated as a subprocess of an
    Effort Certification
    business process.
  1. Access the
    Create Pay Component Security Segment
    task.
    Create a security segment for the pay components you want to restrict.
    Security:
    • Set Up: Payroll (Calculations - Payroll Specific)
      domain in the Core Payroll functional area.
    • Set Up: Maintain Payroll Interface
      domain in the Payroll Interface functional area.
    Example: Name the security segment and select the
    Pay Components
    :
    Base Pay
    and
    Holiday Pay
    .
  2. Create a security group to identify who can view the pay components from the security segment.
  3. Edit Domain Security Policies
    Edit the
    Reports: Pay Calculation Results (Results - Security based on Pay Component Security)
    domain security policy in the Core Payroll functional area. In the
    Security Groups
    field, replace the security groups with your new segmented security group.
  4. Activate Pending Security Policy Changes.
Use the
All Pay Components Security Segments
report to view the pay component security segments you created.
