Frequently Asked Questions
Workday GPC enables an end-to-end global payroll experience by managing payroll, HR, and workforce data right within Workday, regardless of where workers are paid. It is a standardised global framework for seamless integration with payroll providers in the Workday partner ecosystem. It provides bi-directional integrations with trusted payroll partners, such as SD Worx, delivering a single consistent view of pay data and streamlined processing.
PECI was file-based and pushed data on schedules whereas GPC uses REST APIs and can run near real-time. Additional logic/mapping shifts to the partner side, and country-specific payroll data are now captured inside Workday.
You will now have a global, consolidated view on HR, Time, Absence, and Payroll data in Workday, no matter the local payroll providers. You now can rely on one place for decision makeing and reporting.
No, while GPC standardises the integration with local payroll providers, local statutory interpretation and configuration still matter. SD Worx uses the Additional Payroll Data and our European in-country teams to reflect country-specific rules quickly.
Your HR data flows automatically from Workday to SD Worx for payroll processing. If any data is missing or incorrect, our system instantly alerts your payroll team with clear error messages and guidance on how to fix the issue. This means:
- No blind spots or delayed error detection
- Full visibility into every transaction in real time"
