Global Payroll Modes

Global Payroll processes payees and elements by utilizing a very specific processing order. All the components of the system that you define, such as payees, elements, and rules, come together at the time a payroll or absence run is executed.

Think of Global Payroll as having two primary modes:

• Setup mode

  During the setup mode, you define the various elements, rules, and other system configurations that make up your payroll system.

• Processing mode

  It is during the processing mode that Global Payroll looks at all the setup information that you've defined, along with any data that you've entered, and processes it according to your specifications.

Note:

The discussion in this section about the batch architecture process flow is a very high-level overview of the process. Each phase of the process is discussed in greater detail later in this product documentation.
