What is Workday Global Payroll Suite?
Workday supports payroll organizations with what they offer as a flexible and connected global payroll suite in the platform for HR and finance. Bringing HR and payroll together and creating a unified experience with global and local partners means payroll organizations can empower employees to understand their pay, apply AI to increase the productivity of payroll professionals, attract the next generation of payroll talent, grow with confidence, and inform workforce strategy with workforce insights.
The Workday Payroll offering includes:
Payroll Management: Workday Payroll offers continuous, smart, and retro payroll processing for efficiency. It supports batch, worker-level, or real-time calculations, handles complex requirements like FLSA, M&A, and defines unlimited earnings/deductions.
Audit and Compliance: Workday Payroll helps reduce errors with a single system for HR, compensation, absence, time and payroll that automates the processing of most payroll transactions. It simplifies audits by applying AI to surface anomalies in payroll results, and addresses new regulatory updates with regular, automatic updates.
Reporting and Analytics: Workday provides reporting and analytics within the same system as HR and payroll, creating a complete and trusted data source for payroll data and its drivers. This delivers real-time insights on workforce costs, payroll, tax, and compliance to inform faster, better decisions.
Employee Self-Service & Engagement: Workday empower workers with a mobile-first experience for payslips, W-2s, and payment elections. "Pay on-demand" allows early wage access, and "model my pay" estimates pay changes. This boosts productivity and satisfaction via comprehensive self-service.
