1 Introduction to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Canadian Payroll

This chapter contains the following topics:

1.1 JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Canadian Payroll Overview

Processing payroll internally enables the organization to eliminate costly service bureau charges and to gain complete control of the payroll functions. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Payroll system offers simple yet complete solutions for the entire payroll processing needs. You can use this flexible system to efficiently manage the unique payroll needs of the organization, even as the business grows and the requirements change.

To streamline data entry between payroll and human resources users, you enter much payroll-related information into the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Human Capital Management Foundation system. This system contains the central database for all of the information that human resources and payroll users typically share. For example, when a human resources clerk updates an employee's information, the employee's payroll information is also updated. A central database:

  • Eliminates redundant data entry.

  • Maintains current and accurate information across all of the business operations.

  • Improves communication among departments.

You use the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Human Capital Management Foundation system to track:

  • Complete employee information.

  • Job information.

  • Pay type, deduction, benefit, and accrual (PDBA) information.

  • Time and labor information.

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Payroll system contains the additional functions that you need to process payroll for employees.

Both human resources and payroll users can enter information into the foundation system. However, to prevent unauthorized access to confidential information, you can set up system security so that users can access only the information that they need for their jobs. Typically, the system administrator sets up system security during system implementation. The system administrator can set up security for an entire form or for specific fields on a form.
