Employee Payroll Data Hub

The Employee Payroll Data Hub provides a single location where you can access the payroll wizards. You can use it to manage and update employee payroll data across different countries. You can also filter the payroll wizards by country, making it easier to find the wizards you’re looking for.

Note: This hub doesn’t currently support bulk actions, such as install, validate, and upload. To complete these actions, access the wizards individually to manage employee payroll data.

Employee payroll data wizards

Note: Each country-specific payroll wizard is available only if the corresponding country is available in the Dayforce configuration. If a country isn’t enabled in Dayforce, its wizards are hidden from the Employee Payroll Data Hub.
