Global Payroll Core Engine and Absence Accelerated Rel 9

This 5-day course covers the absence management tools found in the core Global Payroll product. Utilizing the core global absence functionality, users can track the time payees are out sick, on vacation, or absent for any other reason. Employees and managers can use web-based browser pages, referred to as self-service pages, to enter online requests for absences, view current and future absence balances, and process absences.

During the class, participants will be shown the tools needed to define valid absence reasons, accrual policies, approvals and delegation of authority over absence transactions, and the exact conditions that must be met before an absence can be paid. Using this information, participants will generate payrolls using the Global Payroll core absence functionality.

The course also provides the basic information users need to set up and configure Global Payroll elements, including earnings, deductions, formulas, and brackets; it provides a combination of instruction and practice in setting up processing and organizational structures, defining payee data, running payrolls, and verifying results; it concludes with lessons on running the banking process, reconciling payments, and setting up the general ledger interface. Because this course provides practice in creating a payroll system from the ground up, beginning with the most basic calculation rules and continuing with setup steps such as the definition of accumulators, segmentation triggers, and proration rules, it provides a solid foundation for both implementers and functional analysts who are responsible for developing Global Payroll rules.
