Delivered Element Creation

All of the elements and rules delivered as part of your country extension were created using the core application—the same application you will use both to create additional elements or rules, and (in many cases) to configure existing elements delivered as part of your Global Payroll system. Because the tools needed to redefine or create new payroll elements are fully documented in the core application product documentation, we do not reproduce this information here. Instead, we briefly review the relationship between the core application (which contains the tools you need to define your own elements and rules) and the country extensions (which contain country-specific rules and elements defined by PeopleSoft).

The core application:

• Consists of a payroll rules engine.

  The payroll rules engine is a flexible tool that enables users to define the rules and elements of their payroll system and execute payroll and absence calculations. Global Payroll does not embed payroll-specific logic or computations in application code. Instead, it specifies all business application logic, such as earnings, deductions, absences, and accumulators, in terms of payroll rules and elements. Global Payroll enables the user to enter and maintain payroll rules through a set of pages and offers a comprehensive set of features that enable the user to work in their preferred language or currency.

• Provides a payroll processing framework.

  The payroll processing framework provides a flexible way to define and execute payroll and absence processing flows, such as calendars, run types, pay periods, and process lists.

Country extensions:

• Are built using the core application.

• Consist of statutory and customary objects (country-specific payroll rules, elements, payroll processes, reports, pages, and self-service applications).
