Understanding HCM Setup Considerations

To successfully set up Global Payroll for China, you must enter data in PeopleSoft HCM tables. This data includes:

• Company Information

  In Global Payroll for China, the employer is defined at the company level. Set up company information on the Company table in PeopleSoft HCM.

  You also need to enter payroll-specific company information on the Pay Entity page in Global Payroll if your pay entity is the same as your company.

  See the following documentation:

• Person Checklist Information

  To ensure that a payee is set up properly, PeopleSoft HCM provides a person checklist. To see what setup is needed for payees in Global Payroll for China, navigate to Workforce Administration, and then Personal Information, and then Organizational Relationships, and then Person Checklist and enter K6GPAY in theChecklist field. A checklist for Global Payroll for China payees appears. The Person Checklist page provides links to key Global Payroll for China setup pages.

  Note:

  In Global Payroll for China, the employee tax setup is minimal. The only time that an override is needed for the employee type is when an employee isn't a local (for example, when the person is an expatriate or when the person has been granted a disability status). The employee type has a direct impact on tax calculations.
