As part of processing payroll in Dayforce Unified for Dayforce PeoplePay, you import the processed payroll data into Dayforce using the Global Pay Run Import (GPRI). Payroll administrators can then load the processed pay run in Dayforce to review the payroll information in the Preview tab in Payroll > Pay Run Management.
For more information about pay runs, see ConnectedPay Pay Runs in the Payroll Feature in the ConnectedPay Administrator Guide.
GPRI Processing Considerations
When exporting the payroll data from PeoplePay, ensure the legal entity identifier and pay period information in PeoplePay matches the legal entity and pay period information in Dayforce. The pay period information includes pay dates, commit dates, pay period start date, pay period end date, and pay period number.
The successful transfer of payroll data between Dayforce and PeoplePay relies on the reference codes in specific earnings and pay groups.
Note: For Dayforce Unified for Malaysia, make sure the tax authorities are configured consistently in both Dayforce and PeoplePay. For example, in PeoplePay, the employee EPF tax code is MYS-14580000-01. In Dayforce in Org Setup > Org Payroll Setup > Legal Entity, the tax authority code used for the employee EPF tax should be similar as well. In this case, the code in the Legal Entity screen should include all of the numbers without the "MYS" prefix.
For overtime, premium pay, and no pay leave data, the reference codes should match in the following locations in both applications:
- In Dayforce, add reference codes for these earnings in Payroll Setup > Earnings and Deductions in the General tab of the earning record.
- In PeoplePay, the identical codes must be used in the Payroll > Codes > Allowance/Deduction screen.
- In Dayforce, add reference codes for these earnings in Pay Setup > Pay Category.
- In PeoplePay, the identical codes must be used in the Pay Category fields in the Dayforce > Parameter screen.
For Dayforce Unified pay groups, add reference codes in Pay Setup > Pay Group in the Pay Group Properties tab of the pay group record.
In PeoplePay, the identical codes must be used in the Pay Group field in the Payroll > Codes > Process Period screen.
Receive Email Notifications When GPRI Fails
Dayforce can be configured to send email notifications to specific users when GPRI fails. When the notification is enabled, Dayforce sends emails to those recipients when the GPRI background job runs. If there are warnings or errors, they are included in the email sent to the recipients.
To set up the email notifications:
- Go to Pay Setup > Pay Group and select the pay group you want monitored.
- In the Payroll Properties tab, in the Settings for ConnectedPay section, select the Enable GPRI alerts checkbox.
- In the Email Addresses for GPRI alerts field, add the email address, using a comma to separate email addresses if more than one are entered.
