Request Edit or Delete Payroll Input for Worker

Request Edit or Delete Payroll Input for Worker

You can request an edit or delete of an existing payroll input and submit it for review through the
Request Payroll Inputs
 business process. Workday routes the request to reviewers as a
My Tasks
 notification.
When you request an edit or delete of a payroll input, Workday initiates the
Request Payroll Inputs
 business process but doesn’t change or delete the input until a reviewer approves the request. If you directly edit or delete payroll inputs, Workday doesn’t initiate the
Request Payroll Inputs
 business process. Use the business process when you need an approval trail for the change.
You can view payroll input request events on the worker history and on the
Find Events
report. You can use the
Requested Payroll Input Events
report data source to create custom reports on request activity.
  1. Access the
    View Payroll Input by Worker(s)
     report or open payroll input from the worker profile.
  2. From the related actions menu, select
    Payroll Input
    and 1 of these options:
    Option
    Description
    Request Delete Payroll Input
    Enter a comment for the reviewer.
    When the payroll input has attachments, Workday displays the attachments on the delete request for the reviewer.
    Request Edit Payroll Input
    Update the relevant fields and enter a comment for the reviewer.
    When you request an edit to an ongoing payroll input that's already been used in a payroll calculation, with a future or no end date, you can request edits to the end date and attachment fields only.
  3. Click
    Submit
    .
Workday routes requests to the reviewers you configure on the
Request Payroll Inputs
 business process. Reviewers can approve, deny, or send back the requests.
When a reviewer approves a:
  • Request Delete Payroll Input
     event, Workday deletes the payroll input.
  • Request Edit Payroll Input
     event, Workday applies the requested changes to the input.
Workday also marks the associated, uncompleted on-cycle and retro payroll results as
Requires Re-calculation
.
