Workday is planning to add a new Salary Over the Cap (SOC) Default Costing Allocation Details grid with the new user interface for payroll costing allocations, as part of the March 15 2025R1 update.

During the week of Monday, January 27, a new interface was released for Payroll Accounting Adjustments (PAAs) for retroactive payroll posted on a paycheck. Listed below is a high-level summary of the changes. 

During the week of January 27, a new interface will be released for Payroll Accounting Adjustments (PAA) for retroactive payroll posted on a paycheck. Once this change is made, if there is a retro pay period associated with the earnings needing to be moved, PAA Specialists will now need to select the correct retro period.

The Time Tracking Funding Overrides report has been updated so users can now search for worktag overrides for positions they own. This can be run each pay period to ensure biweekly workers have not erroneously entered worktag overrides on their timesheets. Payroll accounting adjustments should be processed to correct erroneous overrides.

Beginning Wednesday, November 20, users will be required to enter the five required worktags (company, cost center, fund, balancing unit, function) for costing allocations and period activity pay. These worktags must be entered on each row of costing. If you have any questions regarding worktag entry, please reach out to your Cost Center Manager. 

The Tableau report "Flexible Payroll Expense Data" has been enhanced with the addition of a new tab titled "Flexible Payroll Actuals- Annual Trend." In this tab users can compare payroll spend data by fiscal year.   

Two Payroll Accounting reports have/will be updated based on some user feedback.

The "Payroll Accounting Adjustments Status" report has been updated as of October 17. The "Created By" field has been replaced with the "Initiating Worker" and "Initiating Worker's Employee ID" fields so that this information is visible to all report end users. A column with approver information has also been added, titled "Approved by Workers."

To address the Workday encumbrance issues associated with payroll commitments for biweekly pay period 14 (6/16-6/29), FY24 payroll commitments were closed out the week of Monday, July 8 and a new integration with a journal source of "Payroll Encumbrance Accrual Reversal" was run to clear outstanding balances in FY24. Correcting entries for over liquidations in FY25 associated with PPD14 also have been posted. Reporting for personnel encumbrances should now be back on track and we will resume the regular encumbrance adjustments schedule starting July 15.
