Reference: Global Payroll Connect Capabilities

You can view high-level feature descriptions for the capabilities in this product area.
All capabilities indicated in Reference: Cloud Connect for Third Party Payroll Capabilities are also included in Global Payroll Connect.

Additional Payroll Data

Provides the ability to:
  • Enable employees and payroll practitioners to enter and edit country-specific payroll data that is required for payroll processing but not natively supported by Workday within our platform.
  • Display the payroll data provided by the payroll vendors and support data validation errors.

Callback for External Payroll

Provides the ability to send a callback message to your third-party payroll vendor when Workday completes an import of data from external payroll documents or external payroll results.

Data Changes on Demand

Provides the ability to make requests for payroll interface pay groups on demand from Workday to your third-party payroll systems with a REST API that efficiently detects and retrieves field-level changes within third-party pay groups. Data Changes on Demand enables you to:
  • Query for data on entire pay groups or individual workers.
  • Specify data sections or extract values for specific fields.
  • Submit data requests and receive notifications upon job completion.
  • Retrieve results as structured JSON documents via the API.

Event Outbound Notifications

Provides the ability to send notifications to third-party payroll systems when there’s a hire or a termination event, enabling your third-party payroll system to learn when to request that data from Workday.

Inbound Notifications

Provides the ability to notify specific workers or organization recipients in Workday with custom messages, such as simple text messages or specific feature notifications that can be tailored for multiple use cases, including Workday required actions, and vendor-supported actions.

Global Payroll Hub

Provides the ability to:
  • Monitor and manage external payroll content through Workday.
  • View payroll processing status across different pay groups and countries.
  • Configure and reconcile payroll-related information between Workday and third-party payroll systems.
  • Drill down into the details of a pay group's processing, including variance analysis.
  • Perform vendor-supported actions.
  • Manage and keep track of your third-party payroll processing progress and statuses.
