As you know, a payroll process involves the following set of activities to be completed. These are sequential steps.
- Running the payroll
- Running company policies
- Running compliance checks
- Posting of payroll results to finance successfully
- Sending the payment files to banks for the payment of salaries
With the My Process application within Employee Central Payroll, a payroll process manager can execute and monitor the complete payroll process.
There are different categories of processes, such as monitoring process, productive payroll process, off-cycle process, ad hoc off-cycle process, and so on.
These processes improve the payroll experience because they allow the payroll manager to manage the entire process. This includes executing the payroll process, monitoring the process, creating notes and attachments, executing company policies, and distributing the identified issues and compliance violations to the payroll administrators or teams.
Manage processes – process configuration

The payroll process manager can add or delete a section in the process configuration. The payroll process manager can also add a new policy to the process, add or delete a team member, change the dates of the recurrence of the process. In each of these cases, you should restart the process so that the changes can be reflected in the process outcome.
Manage Policies – Policy Configuration

A payroll policy is a set of validation rules for employee master data and payroll data. If there is any violation of the policy, this will result in alerts, which will be resolved by the payroll administrators. A policy must have a relevant policy type that collects the relevant context; for example country grouping, instance selection parameter, and time selection parameter.
