Grouping Payroll

Use Object Groups to group one or more payrolls together. ADP Global Payroll interface extracts data of one or multiple payrolls defined within a legislative data group to a single output file.

Object Groups also define and group payrolls that are handled by ADP, from those that are handled by other vendors. This scenario might occur when multiple payroll vendors are involved in processing the payroll for an enterprise.

Object Groups group employees and processes the extraction for employees who have been grouped together for some reason. For example, you can group employees to process the extraction only for those employees for whom the regular extraction wasn't complete.

For example, Robertson Global Services uses three payrolls to process payments for its employees. All these three payrolls could be grouped into one or two object groups.

Run the extract process against each object group to extract data belonging to the payrolls grouped together.

1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to the Manage Object Groups task.

2. Create an object group and complete these fields:

   • Name: Specify a meaningful name

   • Legislative Data Group: US Legislative Data Group name

   • Type: Payroll Relationship Group

   • Static or Dynamic: Dynamic

3. Select the Advanced Options check box.

4. Click Continue.

5. On the Create Object Group page, specify the Start Date and End Date as applicable.

6. Click Next.

7. In the Payroll Definition section, add a new record.

8. Select the payrolls that you want to group together using the lens icon into this section.

   Note: You can also group employees using Object Groups. Perform the steps 1 through 6 to create a group of employees for impromptu extraction scenarios.

   • In step 2, Static or Dynamic,select Static.
   • In step 7, instead of choosing the Payrolls into the Payroll Definition section, select the relevant payroll relationships into the Payroll Relationship section.

9. Submit the changes.
