Workday allows employees to view and download their payslips directly within its interface without storing these documents in Workday itself. This feature ensures that you have real-time access to your payslips while maintaining data security and efficiency. Here's how it works:

a. Go to Worker Profile > Pay > Payslips in Workday, the system automatically contacts the external payroll vendor's REST APIs to fetch a list of your available payslips.
b. Click on a specific payslip link, Workday will then retrieve that individual payslip from the external vendor, allowing you to view and download it directly within the Workday environment, without actually saving the document in Workday.

Setting up the Integration

Step 1 - Open the Workday integration in Deel

You must be an Org Admin, Integrations Admin, or Integrations Admin-People to set up this integration.

You must be connected to a Workday integration in Deel and have permission to manage the relevant connected Workday entity to configure the payslip plugin.

You must be able to access the required Workday administrative tasks for vendor, key, feature, and pay-group configuration.

From the Deel Home dashboard, select Apps & Automation in the left sidebar to expand its menu, then select App Store.

If the Welcome to your Deel Apps & Integrations dialog blocks the page, close it or select I’ll do that later.

On Apps overview, enter Workday in the Find apps field.

Select Workday with the description Enterprise management cloud. Do not select Workday GPC, which is a separate integration.

Confirm that the Workday integration page displays the Workday heading, Enterprise management cloud, and the Integration overview tab. Select Connect Workday to begin connecting Workday, then follow the connection prompts until the integration is connected.

Step 2 - Open the GP - Payslips and Tax document sync Plugin

In Deel, go to Apps & Automation > App Store. On Apps overview, locate Workday under My apps and select it to expand the connected Workday entries.

On Manage my apps, expand Workday if necessary. Find the Workday entity marked Connected, then select Manage for the entity you need to configure.

On the Workday integration page, open the Plugins tab and scroll to the Global Payroll section. Locate Global payroll - Payslip and tax document sync and click Enable to open its configuration screen.

Do not select Enable for Global Payroll - Employee Data Sync. It is a separate plugin with different onboarding and synchronization settings.

Step 3 - Create External Payroll Vendor in Workday

Create an External Payroll Vendor in Wokday if a Vendor does not yet exist.

Ensure External Payslips is selected as the Feature.

Step 4 - Create External Payroll Vendor Mapping

Once the vendor is created, it needs to be mapped to the required environments.

Select the Vendor and applicable Environment.

Step 5 - Create Public Private Key Pairs

Once the user selects OK, they will be required to create Key Pairs.

Name the Key Pair and select Do Not Allow Regeneration.

Once the Key Pair has been created select Active.

The Public Key generated in this step must be entered in the Public Key field of Deel's plugin of Step 2

Step 6 - Feature Configuration

Configure Attribute and Value (URL) to the applicable Feature.

Select Retrieval Endpoint as the Attribute and insert the URL listed in Deel's field Payslips Retrieval URL from Step 2

Step 7 - Maintain Pay Group Vendor Associations

Link the Pay Groups associated to the relevant Payroll Vendor.

Step 8 - Enable Deel's Plugin

Once all the previous steps are done, return to Deel’s Global payroll - Payslip and tax document sync plugin configuration and click Enable.

Payslip Security Access

Workday administrators are unable to view employees’ payslips on Workday using this method (The REST API method of Workday does not cater for this context currently). Only Employee Self Service Users can access their own payslips while logged into their profile.
