Concept: Adjust Payroll Commitments (CAN, USA)

Concept: Adjust Payroll Commitments (CAN, USA)

Once you initiate payroll commitments and obligations for a company and fiscal year, you can't cancel or rescind them. For pay periods that are in progress or not yet liquidated, account for changes by making adjustments such as:
  • Changes in compensation.
  • Fringe benefits.
  • Terminations.
  • Leaves of absence.
You can adjust commitments as often as necessary by:
  • Automating them as part of position-related business processes.
  • Performing ad hoc or bulk payroll commitment adjustments using a stand-alone business process.
Workday liquidates any backdated transactions that missed liquidation in prior processes when you:
  • Run Pay Calculation
  • Create Payroll Commitment Adjustments
Example: You add a backdated event to a period where commitment processing is complete.
When you run subsequent commitment adjustments using the
Create Payroll Commitment Adjustments
task, Workday creates these commitment adjustments:
Obligations:
  • Payroll Obligation Adjustment
  • Fringe Benefit Obligation Adjustment
Commitments:
  • Payroll Commitment Adjustment
  • Fringe Benefit Commitment Adjustment
