Setting Up Payslips

This chapter provides an overview of payslip setup and discusses how to:

• Define payslips.

• Generate payslips.

Understanding Payslips

The design of the payslip feature enables you to create and control payslips so that they display the data that you want and in the format that you want. Because you can override templates at lower levels, you do not have to create multiple templates to cover every payslip scenario that you may have.

Defining Payslips

Use the Add Payslip Messages DEU (GPDE_AL_01_MSG) component to define payslips.

This section discusses how to designate the payslip message data and provides payslip message examples.

Note. Global Payroll for Germany enables you to generate payslips. You can adapt the Global Payroll payslip to meet your needs. You can also send a message—printed on the payslip—to an individual payee or to payees belonging to designated pay groups, locations, or departments.

Page Used to Set Up Payslip Messages

Designating the Payslip Message Data

Access the Messages DEU page (Set Up HRMS, Product Related, Global Payroll & Absence Mgmt, Payslips, Messages DEU, Messages DEU).

This page lists the groups to which you can send a message. Enter a value for the field you want to use as a parameter, for example, select a business unit to send a message to all payees within that parameter. Create your message in the Description field.

Payslip Message Examples

The following examples illustrate payslip messages to a group of payees and to a single payee, respectively.

Example 1

To issue the message "Have a nice holiday" on the payslips of all payees belonging to a particular pay group, you would complete these steps:

1. Select the appropriate current pay end date.

2. Select the pay entity issuing the payslip.

3. Enter the pay group ID for the appropriate pay group.

4. Enter the exact wording of the message in the Description field.

When the payslips are generated, all payslips generated for payees belonging to the designated pay group would display "Have a nice holiday."

Example 2

To issue the message "We don't have your current address on file" on the payslip of a specific payee, complete these steps:

1. Select the appropriate current pay end date.

2. Select the pay entity issuing the payslip.

3. Enter the employee ID for the payee.

4. Enter the exact wording of the message in the Description field.

When the payslips are generated, the payslip for the designated payee would display "We don't have your current address on file."
