Steps: Audit Payroll Results

Steps: Audit Payroll Results

Review setup considerations for payroll audits.
You can run the audit exception reports to analyze and address your audit exceptions before completing payroll by:
  • Creating, grouping, and running audits of payroll results.
  • Using worker eligibility to target a specific subset of workers.
  • Using audit assignment and routing functionality to manage, research, and resolve audit exceptions within Workday.
  1. (Optional) Access the
    Maintain Payroll Audit Worker Eligibility
     report to create worker eligibility rules.
    Security:
    Set Up: Payroll (Reporting)
     domain in the Core Payroll functional area.
  3. (Optional) Access the
    Maintain Payroll Audit Run Group Configurations
     report to group audit rules to run at the same time.
    Security:
    Set Up: Payroll (Reporting)
     domain in the Core Payroll functional area.
  4. When you implement the Workday audit assignment and routing functionality, set up notifications that Workday sends to audit exception assignees for research and resolution.
  7. After running a payroll audit, review the audit exceptions by:
    • Selecting
      Launch Audit Report
       from the completed payroll audit.
    • Accessing the audit results from the
      Pay Cycle Command Center
      .
  8. (Optional) Assign audit exceptions for resolution.
    1. From the related actions menu of the exception, select
      Payroll Audit Exception
      Maintain Exception
      .
    2. Select a
      Status
      .
    3. Select an
      Assignee
      .
    4. (Optional) Enter a
      New Comment
      .
      The assignee receives a notification of the assignment and can:
      • Drill into the details of the exception.
      • Investigate the exception.
      • Change the status.
      • Enter a comment.
      • Reassign the exception back to you.
  9. (Optional) To keep track of which exceptions you've reviewed, access the related actions menu for an exception, select
    Payroll Audit Exception
    Maintain Exception
    , and select
    Y
     in the
    Verified by Administrator
     field.
    To set this value for multiple items at once, select the exceptions in the
    My Payroll Audit Exceptions
     report and select
    Update/Assign
    .
    Security:
    Reports: Pay Calculation Results for Pay Group (Audits)
     domain in the Core Payroll functional area.
After fixing audit exceptions, you must rerun the
Run Payroll Audit
 task for the same period where the exceptions existed before Workday updates the exception with a
Resolved
 status.
