Payroll Activity Center Overview

The Payroll Activity Center user experience provides an action-focused payroll hub that’s tailored to your individual roles and responsibilities.

It lets you quickly identify and resolve payroll errors to help ensure your employees are paid accurately and on time. With this single view of payroll across global operations, proactive alerts, and the ability to take quick corrective action, you can optimize payroll processing, reduce errors, and deliver on your employee expectations for prompt and accurate payment.

Payroll Activity Center lets you monitor your payroll across each milestone (such as Payroll Calculations, Payments, Payslips, and Accounting) in the payroll cycle. This ensures that all employees with a payroll calculation are paid, payslips are issued, and all payroll costs are transferred to subledger accounting (SLA). Payroll Activity Center integrates with payroll processes submitted individually using payroll flows, and processes submitted as part of a payroll task flow. It displays information for the latest 12 months' period (from the current date).

This streamlined user experience lets you save time and resources, and manage critical tasks for a payroll period, such as:

• View the overall, real-time status of your global payrolls, to help focus on what matters the most.

• Monitor the consolidated view of your payroll results across all payroll flows, to help you quickly identify and resolve issues.

• Quickly review any issues using the alerts for these processes:

  • Calculate Payroll, QuickPay, Prepayments, Periodic Archive, Make EFT Payments, Generate Check Payments, Make External Payments, Generate Cash Payments, Generate Payslips, Transfer to Subledger Accounting, and Costing of Payments.

• Use the automated comparison of all payroll calculations results against the results of the downstream processes, to ensure all payroll processing is complete for your employees.

• Quickly identify any employee who's pending further processing. For example, any employee who has a payroll calculation without a prepayment result, or a prepayment result without a payment result.

• Review all results for the payroll period that require attention, such as those in error status.

• Compare the balance or costing information of the current payroll period with previous payrolls, to find anomalies and trends.

• Navigate directly to the pages required to perform corrective actions for a process, such as the View Flows and Person Results pages.
