Understanding the Payroll Cycle Workbench

Before you can process payroll information, you must set up the payroll cycle workbench to process information according to the rules and policies of the organization. You must define the dates that make up each pay cycle, and you must define the criteria that are used to select employees for pay cycle processing. In addition, you must define the reports that you want to generate during pay cycle processing.

Finally, due to the sensitive nature of payroll information, you must set up security on the payroll cycle workbench. You set up this type of security using pay cycle control parameters.
