Payroll Relationships for the US
A payroll relationship represents the association between a person and a payroll statutory unit (PSU).
A PSU is the legal entity responsible for employee payment. Payroll relationships group a person's employment assignment records based on the payroll statutory calculation and reporting requirements. Payroll relationships help you capture and extract any HR and payroll-related data you want to send to a third party, such as a payroll processing provider.
Payroll processing always occurs at the payroll relationship level. When you display the payroll process results for a person, you:
-
Select the person's payroll relationship record.
-
Drill down to view the details.
Payroll relationships aggregate balances at the payroll relationship level. Within a payroll relationship, payroll processes can aggregate balances for multiple assignment records. Balances don't span payroll relationships.

How Payroll Relationships Affect Terminations
You can't terminate a person's payroll relationship while they still have active employment assignments. After you have ended all employment assignments, you can either terminate the payroll relationship or leave it active.
