Identifies how Workday created the ROE.
ROE Status
The work flow status of the ROE in Workday. See
Concept: Creating ROE Data
.
Issue Type
Displays when you approve the ROE for submission to Service Canada:
  • Draft
    : Displays when you approve the ROE without selecting the
    Submit
    check box. When you load the ROE to Service Canada, Service Canada validates the ROE, but doesn’t issue it. To issue the ROE, follow the additional steps outlined by Service Canada.
  • Submit
    : Displays when you approve the ROE and select the
    Submit
    check box. When you load the ROE to Service Canada, Service Canada validates the ROE. Service Canada issues it automatically if they don't find errors.
Reason for Issuing the ROE
Displays in Block 16.
When you generate an ROE:
  • For events, Workday automatically populates the reason code on the ROE. The reason is based on the ROE creation criteria in the
    Maintain ROE Configuration
    task.
  • On-demand, you can select any reason code.
Service Canada requires you to enter a comment for reason codes
K00 - Other
and
K15 - Other/Canadian Forces - Queen's Regulations/Orders
. An ROE that has this reason code will be
In Error
status until you enter a comment.
Return from Leave Date (Prior to Go Live)
Indicates the
Return from Leave Date
entered on an ROE History record as part of the Workday implementation.
If the worker had a return from leave within 53 weeks before Workday implementation, this date is important for ROEs generated by Workday. Workday uses this date when calculating the
First Day Worked
for the worker's ROEs after the Workday implementation date.
Only enter a date for workers who returned from leave within the 53 week time period before your Workday implementation date.
First Day Worked
Displays in Block 10.
The first day for which the employee receives insurable earnings. Defines the start of the employment period.
You can edit the ROE to override this date on the
Override First Day Worked
field.
Override First Day Worked
Displays when you edit the ROE. Recreate the ROE after entering an override.
When you enter a date on this field, Workday reports the overriding date instead of the default first day worked date.
Workday recommends that you correct the source data by editing the hire, rehire, or return-from-leave date. Then, add insurable earnings into the period that contains the first day of work, or move the insurable earnings into the period. This correction of the source data helps ensure that Workday can accurately calculate the
First Day Worked
when creating the ROE.
Often,
First Day Worked
errors occur on the ROE because the first payment for a new hire is in the period after the hire. Workday recommends that you use retro processing to report the retroactive amounts due in the correct period of the ROE. Enter pay input using the start and end date of the hire period. Check that you're using the correct allocation method in your earnings. When you create the ROE, Workday allocates the retro earnings to the retro period indicated in the pay input.
Last Day for Which Paid
Displays in Block 11.
Defines the end of the worker's employment period. When you create an ROE using the
Create ROE Data for Events task
, Workday derives this date from the
Last Date for Which Paid
field on the business process.
When you create an ROE using the
Create On-Demand ROE
task, Workday derives this date from the period end date of the worker's last completed pay result.
For pay group changes or company transfers that result in a change in pay frequency, this date is 1 day before the effective date of the business process.
You can edit the ROE to override this date with the
Override Last Day for Which Paid
field.
Override Last Day for Which Paid
Displays when you edit the ROE. Recreate the ROE after entering an override date. When the overriding date is in a different period, Workday:
  • Inserts or removes periods within the
    ROE Insurable Earnings by Period
    section (Block 15C). This action is regardless of whether pay results and insurable earnings exist for the periods.
  • Recalculates the
    Final Pay Period Ending Date
    field.
When you enter a date on this field, Workday reports the overriding date instead of the default last day for which paid date on the ROE.
Workday recommends that you correct the source data by updating the
Last Date for Which Paid
date on the business process for the ROE-generating event instead.
Final Pay Period Ending Date
Displays in Block 12.
This date is the period end date of the period that contains the
Last Day for Which Paid
.
Expected Date of Recall
Displays in Block 14.
Workday indicates
Unknown
in the
Expected Date of Recall
field on the ROE when you:
  • Don't enter a date on the
    Date of Recall
    field on the
    Leave of Absence
    business process.
  • Or, you didn't configure the field on the
    Request Leave of Absence
    business process.

ROE Insurable Earnings by Period (Block 15C)

This section reports insurable hours and earnings aggregated by pay period, for reporting in Block 15C. Information reported here determines a worker's eligibility for employment insurance and can impact the claims amount.
This section lists all pay periods, up to the maximum reporting periods defined by Service Canada, from the
First Day Worked
or
Override First Day Worked
through the
Last Day for Which Paid
or
Override Last Day for Which Paid
. If you didn't pay an employee for a period Workday processed, Workday:
  • Inserts the period into the
    Insurable Earnings by Reporting Period
    grid.
  • And, populates the insurable hours and earnings to zero.
Grid
Description
Insurable Earnings by Reporting Period
The
Period Number
identifies the reporting period that Workday allocates earnings or hours to. Period 1 always includes the
Last Day for Which Paid
.
The
Period Start Date
and
Period End Date
come from the
Period Schedule
for the pay frequency. Workday reports all required periods up to the maximum reporting periods by pay frequency.
Workday pulls insurable hours and insurable earnings from completed payroll results that fall within the employment period of the ROE.
The
Override Insurable Hours
and
Override Insurable Earnings
fields display when you edit the ROE. Select the corresponding
Enable Override
check box to enter an override. However, Workday recommends that you correct the source data in Workday instead.
When you select the
Preserve ROE period and separation payment overrides
check box, Workday includes the overriding data on the ROE when Workday recreates it.
Edit Insurable Earnings for Prior Periods
Displays when you edit the ROE.
This grid enables you to insert periods that occurred before your Workday implementation date. The hours and earnings entered here reflect payroll periods processed in your legacy system. Enter information for ROE Prior Period History results that are missing.
You can only insert periods that:
  • Occurred before your Workday implementation date.
  • You included in the period schedule as part of your Workday cut-over.
You can't select a period that's before the worker's hire date or after the first period processed in Workday. Inserting a period in this grid won’t add an ROE Prior Period History Result record for the worker.
Example: Your organization went live on Workday Payroll on 2018-04-01. You loaded 1 year of ROE Prior Period History results for periods 2017-04-01 through 2018-03-31. These results reflect period by period insurable hours and earnings paid to workers from your previous payroll application.
A monthly paid worker takes a leave of absence on 2018-05-01. When you create the ROE, you realize that the ROE prior period history results are missing for August 2017. You can add the missing period by editing the ROE in the
Edit Insurable Earnings for Prior Periods
grid.
Recreate the ROE for Workday to include the inserted period, insurable hours, and insurable earnings in Block 15C.
History Loaded Reporting Period
Displays
Yes
to indicate that Workday reports the period from the ROE Prior Period History Results that you uploaded using the
Import ROE Prior Period History Results
web service.
This column won’t display if there are no historical periods reported in Block 15C.
You can edit these reporting periods directly on the ROE by selecting the related action on the period. Editing the insurable earnings or hours will update the imported ROE Prior Period History Results record for that period.

Grid
Description
Vacation Pay
Displays in Block 17A.
You can report on future earnings by inserting a row on the
Vacation Pay
grid. Select the payment type on the

field of Period 1 on the
Insurable Earnings by Reporting Period
(Block 15C) grid.
The
Override Amount
field displays when you edit the ROE. Select the corresponding
Enable Override

Statutory Holidays
Displays in Block 17B.
You can report a total of 10 Statutory Holidays in Block 17B.
If the ROE includes separation payments for statutory holidays paid after the
Last Day for Which Paid
, you must edit the ROE and complete the
Statutory Holidays
amount fields. The sum of your entries should equal the statutory holiday separation payments you paid to the employee.
You can report on future earnings by inserting a row in the
Statutory Holidays
grid.
Your inserted separation payments don't update the
Insurable Earnings by Reporting Period
(Block 15C) grid. Determine if you need to add the inserted separation payment amount to Period 1. If you do, enter the amount on the

field of Period 1 on the
Insurable Earnings by Reporting Period

Insurable Earnings by Reporting Period
(Block 15C) grid.
