Global Payroll Overview

Global Payroll handles payroll and absence processing and enables you to fine-tune the design of your payroll system. Using a browser environment, PeopleTools, and a rules-based system, you can configure your payroll system online without writing or changing the source code, thus reducing installation time and costs.

Global Payroll contains no application-specific rules or code. Using pay items, called elements, you build rules that determine what payroll or absence components are calculated, on a payee-by-payee basis, during batch processing.

Global Payroll Business Processes

Global Payroll provides these business processes:

Payroll.
Absence.
Banking.

We discuss these business processes in the business process chapters in this PeopleBook.

Global Payroll Integrations

Global Payroll integrates with these applications:

PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Resources.
PeopleSoft Enterprise Time and Labor.
PeopleSoft Enterprise General Ledger.

We discuss integration considerations in the implementation chapters in this PeopleBook.

Global Payroll Implementation

PeopleSoft Setup Manager enables you to generate a list of setup tasks for your organization based on the features that you are implementing. The setup tasks include the components that you must set up, listed in the order in which you must enter data into the component tables, and links to the corresponding PeopleBook documentation.

Global Payroll also provides component interfaces to help you load data from the existing system into Global Payroll tables. Use the Excel to Component Interface utility with the component interfaces to populate the tables.

This table lists all of the components that have component interfaces:

Component	Component Interface	References
GP_CALENDAR	CI_GP_CALENDAR	See Using Calendars.
GP_CALENDAR_PERIOD	CI_GP_CALENDAR_PERIOD	See Using Calendars.
GP_CALENDAR_RUN	CI_GP_CALENDAR_RUN	See Using Calendars.
GP_GL_GROUP	CI_GP_GL_GROUP	See Integrating with PeopleSoft Enterprise General Ledger.
GP_GL_MAP	CI_GP_GL_MAP	See Integrating with PeopleSoft Enterprise General Ledger.

Other Sources of Information

In the planning phase of your implementation, take advantage of all PeopleSoft sources of information, including the installation guides, table-loading sequences, data models, and business process maps. A complete list of these resources appears in the preface in the PeopleSoft Enterprise HRMS 8.9 Application Fundamentals PeopleBook, with information about where to find the most current version of each.
