Preprint Report Designer Payslips in Bulk

  • Set up Report Designer payslips. For standard Report Designer payslips, see Steps: Set Up Standard Report Designer Payslips and for custom Report Designer payslips, see Steps: Set Up Custom Report Designer Payslips.
  • Settled payroll results.
  • Security:
    Process: Payslip Bulk Print
    domain in Core Payroll functional area.
  • Workday Payroll for France recommends that you disable payslip viewing in self-service for all workers. Hide self-service payroll options in the
    Payslips
    section of the
    Edit Tenant Setup – Payroll
    task.
Each time you or a worker prints a Report Designer payslip, Workday generates a new PDF. A large volume of requests in a short period of time can negatively impact the performance of your tenant. To avoid potential performance impact, you can schedule Workday to preprint payslip PDFs in bulk at a time when usage is low. You can also use preprinting to make payslips available for exporting and archiving.
Example: Schedule payslip PDFs to print at night so Workday generates the PDFs at a time of low usage.
  1. Access the
    Schedule BIRT Payslip Pre-Print
    task.
  2. On the
    Schedule BIRT Payslip Pre-Print
    tab, give the request a name and complete all required fields. Select all pay groups to print for everyone at a company.
  3. For
    Employees to Process
    , consider:
    • Smart Print Payslips
      helps minimize processing time by only generating PDF payslips for workers who have historically viewed them.
      After you enable
      Smart Print Payslips
      , Workday generates PDFs for all workers for 2 months to establish viewing trends. After 2 months, Workday stops generating PDF payslips for workers who don't historically view them. To ensure these workers can still access their payslips, don't select
      Disable Payslip Printing (Business Form)
      or
      Disable Payslip Viewing (Online Version)
      on the
      Edit Tenant Setup - Payroll
      task.
    • Print All Payslips
      generates payslips for all workers.
      For Payroll for France, Workday recommends selecting the
      Print All Payslips
      option.
  4. On the
    Schedule
    tab, set the scheduled date, time, and time zone.
Workday begins generation of the PDF payslips at the scheduled time. You can use
Request Name
to identify the payslip preprint batch on the
Process Monitor
report.
After Workday generates the PDF payslips, you can use the
Get Payroll Pre-Printed Payslips
web service to export the payslips for archiving, printing, or other purposes.
