Steps: Load Payroll History by Batch

Steps: Load Payroll History by Batch

Security:
Process: Load, Calculate, Cancel, Complete History
domain in the Core Payroll functional area.
You can use Enterprise Interface Builder (EIB) to load historical payments for multiple workers, during:
  • A midyear implementation of Workday.
  • The acquisition of another organization.
Loading payroll history occurs in 2 phases:
Phase
Description
Data load (
Put Payroll History Payment
web service).
Workday loads the values of individual earnings and deductions (not pay accumulations or pay balances) directly into the payroll results.
Historical pay calculations (
Run History Pay Calculation
task).
Workday:
  • Calculates gross and net amounts, bypassing limits.
  • Derives pay accumulations and pay balances.
  • Applies worktag values.
When you have historical data for multiple pay periods, load and calculate history in period sequence.
When loading history as a result of an acquisition, create a separate pay group for workers paid by an acquired organization. After loading their payroll history, move them to the pay group they'll belong to in the new organization.
  1. Select
    Put Payroll History Payment
    from the
    Web Service Operation
    prompt.
  2. Prepare the EIB spreadsheet and launch the EIB spreadsheet upload.
  3. Access the
    Pay Calculation Off-cycle Inputs for Group of Workers
    report to review history in the staging tables.
    The report includes history payments that you haven't calculated yet, plus any calculated results.
    Security:
    Reports: Pay Calculation Results for Pay Group (Results)
    domain in the Core Payroll functional area.
  4. Access the
    Run History Pay Calculation
    task to calculate history payments.
If the original results were incorrectly loaded, you can cancel the calculated results using the
Run History Pay Cancel
task. Canceling history removes the source data.
