Global Payroll Overview

Global Payroll handles payroll and absence processing and enables you to fine-tune the design of your payroll system. Using a browser environment, PeopleTools, and a rules-based system, you can configure your payroll system online without writing or changing the source code, thus reducing installation time and costs.

Global Payroll contains no application-specific rules or code. Using pay items, called elements, you build rules that determine what payroll or absence components are calculated, on a payee-by-payee basis, during batch processing.

Global Payroll Business Processes

Global Payroll provides these business processes:

Payroll
Absence
Banking

We discuss these business processes in the business process chapters in this PeopleBook.

Global Payroll Integrations

Global Payroll integrates with these applications:

PeopleSoft HR.
PeopleSoft Time and Labor.
PeopleSoft General Ledger.

We discuss integration considerations in the implementation chapters in this PeopleBook.

Global Payroll Implementation

PeopleSoft Setup Manager enables you to generate a list of setup tasks for your organization based on the features that you are implementing. The setup tasks include the components that you must set up, listed in the order in which you must enter data into the component tables, and links to the corresponding PeopleBook documentation.

Global Payroll also provides component interfaces to help you load data from the existing system into Global Payroll tables. Use the Excel to Component Interface utility with the component interfaces to populate the tables.

This table lists all of the components that have component interfaces:
