Concept: Pay Modeling

You can configure pay modeling to enable workers to make hypothetical changes to their pay and view their results. Workers can use the

Model My Pay

task to adjust their tax elections, deductions, and earnings as the basis for their hypothetical pay. Workday displays a gross-to-net approximation based on these changes to determine how they affect pay calculations.

You can configure employee access to the

Model My Pay

task on the:

Pay

worklet on mobile devices. Enable the Self-Service: Payroll (Model My Pay)
domain in the Core Payroll functional area to enable the

Model My Pay

task for workers.

Pay

dashboard. Access the

Maintain Dashboards

report and edit the Pay dashboard. For more information, see: Configure Dashboard Content.

Benefits and Pay Hub

. Access the

Maintain Hubs

report. For more information, see: Set Up Hubs.

My Payslips

report.

You can also model a worker's pay on their behalf with the

Model Pay for Worker

task, secured to the Worker Data: Payroll (Model My Pay)
domain in the Core Payroll functional area. Once enabled, the task includes workers in:

Pay groups

Unconstrained groups

Limitations

Workers can only:

Model existing on-cycle pay results in the regular run category with a start and end date within the current tax year.

Model categories you have enabled in the

Maintain Model My Pay Configurations

task.

Add eligible earnings from the pay component settings for their pay group.

Model tax elections made through Employee Self-Service (ESS). Note that workers can't make changes to local tax elections. With the

Model My Pay

task on desktop, employees can model earnings, pre-tax and post-tax deductions. Model My Pay on mobile displays only federal and state taxes, earnings, and net pay.

View

Model My Pay

on mobile only when the

Disable Pay Worklet on Mobile

check box on the

Edit Tenant Setup - Payroll

task is unchecked. When this check box is selected,

My Pay

on mobile isn't available, so workers can't access

Model My Pay

from the

worklet. Disabling this option removes

My Pay

hub.

You can model pay for active workers only.

For Payroll for the U.S., model results for a U.S. state with pay results completed after you added the state. Example: A worker can model what their pay would be if they lived in Nevada, but only for pay results completed after you added Nevada.

For Payroll for the U.S., Workday recommends that FLSA workers model hours instead of amounts for pay calculations that affect FLSA wages and hours.
