De-centralized Payroll Close process

By default, the application’s Payroll Close process is configured to accommodate a de-centralized Payroll Close. This de-centralization is accomplished by using the Payroll Administrator security group to give all payroll administrators full access to the Payroll Close process.

Payroll Administrator security group

The Payroll Administrator security group gives the member users access to application data and the Payroll Close Wizard. Only members of this group will see the Export Now button and the Advanced Options link in the Payroll Close Wizard. These two functions allow users to generate and configure the payroll export file.

In addition, members of the Payroll Administrator security group should be granted security access to the appropriate pay groups using a new Pay Group form. See Configuring pay group security.

In this manner, the de-centralized payroll practice can be used by assigning users from any location or department to the Payroll Administrator security group, allowing them full control of the Payroll Close process. See Configuring pay group security.
