There's a maximum number of earnings, deductions, or other detailed line items that Workday can list in each section of an employee's hard copy payslip. When the number of items exceeds the limit, Workday sums the employee’s overflow items in the last line without showing the detail.
Limits apply to Workday-delivered solutions for hard-copy payslips only. The online version includes all lines of detail.
