Understanding Payee Data

Global Payroll uses payee data that is defined in HR, including job and personal data, banking information, and schedules.

Global Payroll recognizes three payee types:

  • Employees.

  • Contingent workers.

  • Persons of interest with jobs.

All of these payee types can be paid through Global Payroll.

See (Classic) Adding a Person.

When you add a payee into HR through the Job Data component, you will indicate that Global Payroll is the payroll system for the payee and then assign the payee to a pay group. The pay group defines the default processing instructions for the payee, which you can override.

Using elements defined in Global Payroll, you can retrieve payee-specific data from HR during processing. For example, you can use rate code elements to retrieve information for multiple components of pay in HR.

Several areas of HR and Global Payroll integration are country-specific, such as those that deal with job and personal data. For more information about these topics, see the corresponding country-specific documentation for Global Payroll and HR.

Note: Global Payroll provides payee-level security that restricts the payees that a user can view.
