Manage Payroll Processing Checklists

Manage Payroll Processing Checklists

You can manage payroll processing tasks directly within the
Global Payroll Hub
 to track progress and ensure timely completion of the pay cycle. The managed checklist supports real-time updates and in-line editing for Workday Payroll pay groups.
  • A checklist template must be associated with a pay group detail before you can create and access a checklist for a specific pay group and period.
  • Security: Manage: Global Payroll Processing
     domain in the Core Payroll functional area.
  1. Access the
    Global Payroll Hub
    .
  2. On the
    Summary
     section of the
    Payroll Processing
     page, click
    Manage
     on the row for the pay group, run category, and period where you want to create a checklist.
  3. If a checklist doesn't exist yet for that combination, create the checklist when Workday prompts you.
  4. Update the task details as needed.
When you change a task status to In Progress, Workday automatically populates the
Started At
field with the current date and time. When you change a status to Completed, Workday automatically populates the
Completed At
 field. If you change the status to Ignore, Workday clears the associated timestamps.
