Security:
Worker Data: Payroll (Company Specific) - IRL
 domain in the IRL Payroll functional area.
For transfers between companies with the same Employer Registration Number (ERN), when a worker transfers to:
  • Another pay group with the same pay frequency, you can manage the transfer at the start of the period or midperiod.
  • A pay group with a different pay frequency, Workday recommends that you only manage the transfer at the start of the pay period.
Workday prorates insurable weeks for workers transferred midperiod. When you transfer a worker from a monthly to weekly pay frequency midperiod, the worker receives an additional insurable week, which you need to adjust manually.
When you transfer a worker with a Local Property Tax (LPT) deduction midperiod to a different pay group in the same company or another company with the same ERN, Workday deducts LPT from all pay results for the worker.
For transfers to a company with a different ERN, Workday:
  • Generates a new employment identifier for the worker.
  • Records a termination date for the old employment identifier on the payroll submission to Revenue.
  • Registers the worker under the new ERN as part of the RPN process.
When you retrospectively transfer a worker to a company with a different ERN, you must report the end date of the previous employment manually on Revenue Online Services. See Reference: Supported Retro Events.
When you transfer a worker internationally, Workday records the transfer date as the:
  • Start date for workers transferring into the new pay group.
  • Termination date, which is recorded as the day before the start date in the new pay group.
Workday recommends that you process off-cycle payments with a payment date within the pay period date range.
  1. Access the
    View Employment Identifier for Worker
     report to ensure that Workday has correctly assigned the worker's new employment identifier.
    When you transfer a worker from a third-party pay group into a Irish payroll pay group, Workday doesn't generate an employment identifier. You can use the
    Assign Employment Identifier for Worker
     task to add the worker's employment identifier. See Assign Employment Identifier for Worker.
  2. Access the
    Add Worker IRL Tax Details
     task to to add details for the worker's:
    • Directorships, if applicable.
    • PAYE exclusion orders.
    • PRSI.
