Understanding U.S. Payroll

With JD Edwards EnterpriseOne U.S. Payroll, you can design the system to meet the organization's specific requirements. You can define and establish earnings, deductions, taxes, and processes that fit the unique business needs. The system enables you to calculate gross-to-net or net-to-gross pay, leave accruals, and government-regulated tax information.

The U.S. Payroll process includes these steps:

  1. Pre-payroll processing

  2. Print payments

  3. Journal entries

  4. Payroll reports

  5. Final update

This implementation guide discusses only those steps, features, and processes that are specific to processing payroll for employees in the U.S., and it is intended to supplement the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Payroll Implementation Guide
