Payroll Processing

The
Payroll Processing
page gives you visibility into the status and results of your payroll runs, both at a summary level across all pay groups and at a detailed level for a specific pay group and period. The
Summary
section displays a unified view of all pay groups you have access to. The
Details
page provides granular operational data for a specific pay group and period.
When you click a pay group on the
Summary
section, Workday displays the
Details
page with the following cards and grids:
  • Employee Changes
    provides drillable counts for new hires, terminations, workers on leave, and workers returned from leave.
  • Payroll Results
    displays a breakdown of results by status. Each status row links to the
    Pay Calculation Processing
    report, filtered by that status.
  • Payroll Totals
    summarizes financial data including gross pay, net pay, employee taxes, and deductions.
  • Payments
    displays net payroll payment counts and totals by currency and payment type. For multi-currency pay groups, the card displays a separate row for each currency.
