Payroll Details

In the payroll employment model, each employee has:

  1. A payroll relationship with a payroll statutory unit (PSU)

  2. One or more assignments to a payroll and other employment structures

If an employee has the payroll details assigned, the application copies the details during a global transfer within the same legislative data group. The application creates an assignment and copies the details to the new assignment.

If the global transfer happens beyond the PSU, the application creates a payroll relationship and copies information from the source to the target payroll relationship.

Note:

If you select Payroll Details to be managed in the Local and Global Transfer page, you must opt for a new legal employer for global transfer. Once you select a new legal employer, the payroll details show up and the transfer type changes to global from local transfer.

Transfers Within a PSU

During these transfers, the process retains the person's payroll data for use by the new assignment.

Transfers Between PSUs

When you perform a transfer between PSUs, you can choose the payroll details you want the process to retain. The task creates a destination assignment for those details. If the legal employer remains the same, the payroll details don't change. No copy is needed.

Here's the payroll attributes the process copies, sorted by level.
