Overview of Global Payroll Interface Extract

Use the Global Payroll Interface report to extract payroll and employee details, such as the salary and deduction details.

Note: Global Payroll Interface extracts and reports only employee information.

Global Payroll Interface reports historical records for salary, element entries, and bank accounts on personal payment methods. These records are all effective dated records that are effective within the specified extraction window. For all other data, Global Payroll Interface reports the top of the stack record that's effective within the specified extraction window.

You can use Business Intelligence Publisher templates to send the extracted data to the payroll provider. Copy this extract definition to generate a custom flow with the same name as the extract.

You can add custom fields to the extract definition. The extracted data includes global and country specific data. Depending upon the LDG, the application copies country specific data. For example, when you copy a GPI extract definition within an Australian LDG context, global and Australia specific data is copied to the new extract.

For the countries that support a calculation card, if you copy the delivered GPI V2 into the country’s LDG, you get both global and data including the calculation card. If the country doesn't support a calculation card, only global data is extracted with the country specific name, address and bank account formats, and so on.

Payroll Interface uses the HCM Extracts infrastructure. All delivery options available within HCM Extracts are available for Global Payroll Interface. For example, the output file can either be sent across through SFTP or using HCM Connect over to prespecified destinations.

Before You Begin

Set up certain elements including license type for country and territory while you configure the Global Payroll interface. Use the Features by Country or Territory task to set up Payroll Interface as the Selected Extension.

Geographies and Legislative Data Group

In the Setup and Maintenance work area, use the Load Geographies for US task in the Enterprise Profile functional area to load geographies and create the geography structure for each country. Ensure that you have selected the Data Source of either GBG/Loqate or your own provider.

In the Setup and Maintenance work area, use the Manage Legislative Data Groups task in the Workforce Structures functional area to define the legislative data groups to identify the country and its currency. Define at least one legislative data group for each country and associate it with a PSU to provide the payroll information for workers.

Legal Employer

A legal employer is a legal entity that employs workers. Define the legal entity type depending on the organization structure as follows:

  • One legal entity that's also a payroll statutory unit and a legal employer.

  • Multiple legal entities which are children of one payroll statutory unit.

Payment Methods

Use the Organization Payment Methods task in My Client Groups to create at least one payment method for each combination of legislative data group, payment type, and currency. You can also create rules to validate or process the distribution of payments.

When creating a payment method, select the Payment Type as Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT).
