Use the

Edit Tenant Setup - Payroll

task to enable continuous payroll calculation.

Security: Set Up: Payroll - Pay Group Specific
in the Core Payroll functional area.

You can use continuous payroll calculation to automate payroll processing for regular run categories.

After you enable continuous payroll calculation, you can configure Workday to automatically:

Run a full calculation to open each period. Continuous payroll calculation starts after a full calculation has run.

Stop running continuous calculation at the end of each period, so you can complete final audits.

Access the

Edit Period Schedule

task.

As you complete the

Continuous Payroll Calculation

section, consider:

Option	Description
Enable Auto Calculation of Initial Pay Results for Period	Select to automatically run a full calculation to start each period.
Default # of Days After Period Start Date	For each period, sets when to run the initial calculation.
Enable Automatic Stop	Select to stop continuous calculations each period.
Default # of Days Before Payroll Payment Date	For each period, sets when to stop continuous calculations.

The initial full calculation for the period runs for all pay groups that share the period schedule. You'll need to run the initial calculation manually for pay groups that aren't in a Complete
status at the auto calculation time.

Review the

Auto Calc Initial Results

and

Automatic Stop

dates and times on each period. Change dates and times on periods to reflect holidays or other exceptions.
