The WorkCenter is preconfigured with work items, links, queries and reports, providing administrators access to real-time information and analytical sources based on their role-based security, and the ability to perform Payroll business process tasks from one central area.

Users can personalize display options and add links to their own WorkCenter for maximum efficiency. For more information, see Setting Up and Personalizing PeopleSoft Fluid WorkCenters.

The WorkCenter page is divided into two areas: the navigation panel on the left and the transaction panel on the right.
