Examine Payroll Insight Results
- Calculate payroll using theRun Pay Calculationtask.
- Security: Reports: Pay Calculation Results for Pay Group (Audits)domain in the Core Payroll functional area.
After you run a payroll calculation, including on-cycle, off-cycle (excluding historical payments), on demand, and recalculations, Workday runs the Payroll Insights service to analyze all the current in-progress pay results. Payroll Insights then predicts the confidence level of each pay result being abnormal and warranting further investigation. Where possible, the report attempts to provide a potential reason for identifying a payroll result as an abnormality.
Workday doesn't automatically process the payroll results from continuous calculation to the Machine Learning model. When you run the next pay calculation for the entire period, the payroll results are then processed by the Machine Learning model for prediction.
Use the
Payroll Insight Results
report to view the prediction results, including their confidence levels of high, medium, low, or N/A (unable to predict), and mark them as normal or abnormal. In addition to predicting if payroll results are potentially abnormal, you can use the various facets and any saved searches on the report to search for and triage your results as part of your audit process.
Workday recommends that you don't opt out of the innovation service once you run the Payroll Insights report to view predictions. Opting out disables the feature and causes data synchronization issues.

- Review the payroll results. Select the check box next to 1 or more results and click either:
- Mark as Normal- Workday is less likely to include similar results in future Payroll Insight Results reports. Similar results will be assigned a lower confidence level of being abnormal.
- Mark as Abnormal- Workday is more likely to include similar results in future Payroll Insight Results reports. Similar results will be assigned a higher confidence level of being abnormal.
When you select eitherMark as NormalorMark as Abnormal, Workday displays a pop-up window to record comments about your review. - Select the payroll insights results that are out of sync with the lastest payroll result using theSync Payroll Insightsbutton.You can see the Sync or Out of Sync status of the payroll insight result on the expanded view of the search results.When you click theSync Payroll Insightsbutton, you can view theSelected Payroll Resultscount on theSync Payroll Insights Resultspage. You may notice that theSelected Payroll Resultscount might be different from the selected payroll insight results on the facet. This could be due to a worker having multiple payroll results in a pay period.

Workday recommends that you don't include any Personal Identifiable Information (PII) in this field.Use theMaintain Payroll Insights Custom Tagsto create custom tags and group payroll insight results together such as: Requires manager approval, or Missing hours based on your business needs. Tags can be used to provide feedback for payroll insights. Once you assign a tag to a payroll insight, you can't delete it. Workday provides a set of common tags. For consistency, it's important to reuse tags. Tags are searchable on the report.Security: Reports: Pay Calculation Results for Pay Group (Audits)domain in the Core Payroll functional area.
