Processing DIF and Skills Development Training Hours

If you set up the Administer Training business process or Enterprise Learning Management to integrate with Global Payroll for France, both DIF and skills development training hours entered on the enrollment pages in these applications can be validated by training and payroll administrators and sent to Global Payroll for processing. Within the Global Payroll system, these hours are used to calculate training entitlements (earnings) due to payees.

This section provides an overview of how Global Payroll for France processes training hours.

When training and payroll administrators validate and save DIF and skills development training hours using the FRA Training Validation (GP) component, the system creates positive input for the current pay group, calendar, employee ID, and employee record number. This data triggers processing of one or more DIF and skills development entitlement (earning) elements in the next Global Payroll run.
