Processing Overview

The steps involved in preparing for and running a payroll when Time and Labor is integrated with Global Payroll are listed as follows.

To prepare for and run the payroll:

1. Prepare the time and labor data by running the Time Administration process for the time reporters to be paid.

   Global Payroll uses pay groups to define the population of employees to be paid, while the Time Administration process uses work groups to generate payable time. Be sure to run the Time Administration process for all work groups that include the time reporters in the pay groups that will be selected for payment.

2. Run the payroll process.

   This automatically loads payable time from Time and Labor. Global Payroll retrieves the appropriate set of payable time from Time and Labor at the beginning of the process. The first time the payroll process runs, Global Payroll processes all employees identified in the current calendars. During subsequent runs, Global Payroll processes only those payees in error or with changes.

3. Finalize the pay run.

4. Run the Time and Labor process to distribute payroll costs to payable time rows in Time and Labor.

   You can run both Labor Distribution and Labor Dilution if these features are enabled based on the settings on Time and Labor's Pay System page.

Perform step 1 in Time and Labor. All other interactions are initiated through Global Payroll.

Planning Considerations

While Global Payroll and Time and Labor are designed to integrate seamlessly, both are rules-based systems capable of executing some of the same types of rules. Before integrating the two products, think carefully about which rules you want each system to apply. In general, you should define all rules that calculate payable time, including rules for overtime, shift differentials, and other special situations in Time and Labor. Create rules that calculate pay in Global Payroll.
