General Settings for Payroll in Core HR

The General Settings tab includes options for configuring General Synchronization settings for the Payroll Module.

• Payroll Provider - The Payroll Provider option indicates which Payroll Provider Core HR will connect with. Only supported payroll providers will appear from this drop-down menu. This option will generally be set once upon initialization.
• Page Settings
  • Disable Pay Entry Screen - Disable the Payroll Entry screen if EZPay is not being utilized.
  • Use detailed view as default on Payroll Entry screen - If EZPay is being utilized, the second setting allows the user to determine the default view upon entry to the Payroll Entry screen.
• Real Time Data Synchronization Settings - Determines what type of data will synchronize from Core HR to the selected Payroll Provider. When this option is enabled, Core HR will save data directly to the Payroll Provider immediately upon saving the information within Core HR.
  • Employee Demographics
    • Allow Employee ID to be entered in HR when adding a new employee - If enabled, the Employee ID field will be enabled for data entry when adding a new employee to Core HR. When this option is not enabled, Core HR will rely upon the Payroll Provider to assign the employee with an Employee ID. The Employee ID generated by the Payroll Provider will be applied to the Employee record in Core HR following the save of the Employee Record.
    • Load Payroll Cost Centers to Employee Demographic - Employer Mapping tab by default - This option only applies to the Load Employee Demographic utility. When this option is enabled, then Cost Center values pulled from the Payroll Provider will be saved to the Employer Mapping tab of the Employee Demographic screen rather than to the Cost Centers Tab of the Employee Demographic screen. This option will most commonly be enabled when Core HR is mapped to more than one Payroll Account and it is desired to have multiple Cost Center mappings for employees that are mapped to more than one Payroll Account. Additionally, by checking this box, the Cost Centers tab under demographics will be hidden.
  • Compensation Rates
  • Compensation Transactions (Fringes)
  • Direct Deposit
  • Taxes
  • Deductions
• Scheduled Synchronization Settings - The scheduled synchronization settings option will enable the scheduled pull of data from the selected Payroll Provider to Core HR. 
  • Pay Stubs
  • Synchronize Pay Stubs 0 Day(s) before Check Date - Scheduled Pay Stub synchronization will enable paystubs to be pulled from Payroll on each of the Check Dates for all Pay Schedules configured in Core HR.
    • The Scheduled Synchronization runs nightly at 12:30 AM MST and retrieves Pay Stubs for the Check Date. For example, if the client desires stubs to be loaded 1 day prior to a Friday check date, the correct offset would be 2. That would ensure that the scheduled synchronization runs 2 days prior at 12:30 AM MST and pay stubs are visible within Core HR on Thursday.
    • If Pay Stubs have already been pulled into Core HR, or if Pay Stubs must be pulled into Core HR manually, the new Pay Stub pull will overwrite the existing Pay Stubs for the Check Date, so as not to pull duplicate Pay Stubs into Core HR.
  • Accruals - Checking this box will prompt the admin to select an accrual source. Once selected and saved, the scheduled accruals will be active via the Task Scheduler. Core HR as Accrual Source will sync Accrual information to the Payroll Provider. Payroll as the Accrual Source will sync Accrual information to Core HR.
