Element Entries

Element entries act as the pivot of integration between payroll and a range of other modules like Absence, Time and Labor, Benefits, Compensation, and so on. Alight Global Payroll Interface has no restrictions when extracting element entry data. Element entries pertaining to all classifications are extracted if they are effective during the extraction period.
Note: Work with your Alight Global Payroll counterpart to understand the scope and process of consumption of elements. Not all element classifications may be used. Additional configurations may be required to facilitate consumption of certain elements.

Due to the differences in the functional nature of element entries that are posted by various modules, additional configurations or minor fine tuning may be required to ensure that these entries are consumed by Alight Global Payroll the way they are intended to be.

Out Of Scope

Data from the following modules are not reported in the current release.

  • Absences

  • Time and Labor

Setup Recommendations

Where possible record the employee information required for the country’s statutory deduction calculations directly on the payroll system. This is to keep a consistent approach across all the countries.

If you are already recording the information on Oracle Cloud (CIR Data), you need not record this information again on the payroll system.

Operational Recommendations

Regular runs of Payroll Interface for Alight Global Payroll should be submitted with the Changes Only parameter value set to Changed and Marked Attributes With Prior Values.
