Set up External Payroll Results (ExPR) for Global Payroll

External Payroll Results (ExPR) allows payroll results to be sent from Deel to Workday as result lines. This gives workers and admins visibility of the breakdown of their salary packages and enables detailed earnings and deductions reporting in Workday, including for G2N calculations.

When ExPR is enabled, Deel automatically attempts to map payroll components between the two systems. When a component cannot be mapped automatically, a new component is created in Workday.

Talk to your Deel representative before setting up ExPR

Setting up ExPR requires a clear understanding of which earning and deduction components must be mapped and their respective codes. Your Deel representative will assist you with this before you begin.

Before you begin

Before starting the ExPR setup, make sure you have completed the required parts of the common connection setup. If you haven't done this yet, go to How to connect Workday GPC to Deel first.

Part 1 and Part 3 of the common setup must be complete before continuing:

• Part 1: Connecting Workday to Deel - creating an ISU, setting up security groups, an API client, tokens, and connecting to Deel
• Part 3: Activating domains for optional plugins - activate the required ExPR domains and assign user groups. See the ExPR column in the Security permissions reference.

Part 2 (DCoD setup) is not required for ExPR.

You will also need:

• Earning and deduction component codes agreed with your Deel representative before starting

Workday setup

Step 1: Add ExPR scopes to the API client

1. Launch the View API Clients report and go to the API Clients for Integrations tab.
2. Select the API client created during the common setup.
3. Use the related actions to go to API Client > Edit API Client for Integrations.

4. Add the required scopes for ExPR as listed in the Scopes reference.
5. Click OK to save your changes.

Step 2: Configure the worker profile for ExPR

1. Launch the Configure Profile Group task.
2. Select the Pay for Worker Profile profile group.
3. Add External Payroll Results for Worker to the profile group.

4. Click OK to save your changes.

Custom report names

If you have configured ExPR data to show in a custom report, you can select that report here. The name you choose determines how the information appears in the worker profile.

Step 3: Activate pending security policy changes

1. Launch the Activate Pending Security Policy Changes task.
2. Enter a comment describing the reason for the change and save.

Deel setup

Step 4: Enable the ExPR plugin

1. From the integration's main page in Deel, locate the External Payroll Results (ExPR) sync plugin and click Enable.
2. If this is the first time setting up ExPR, verify that your ISU has all the required permissions, then click Continue.
3. Map the Deel pay groups to the Workday pay groups, then click Continue.
4. Review the sync process details, then click Continue.

ExPR will automatically map Deel payroll components to Workday ones and sync result lines at the next scheduled sync.

Using ExPR

As an admin: use ExPR for reporting

After ExPR is set up, you can use the synced data to generate reports in Workday specific to your business needs. For more information on how to build reports using ExPR data, refer to the following Workday Community documentation:

• Create Custom Reports
• Concept: The Discovery Board Workflow
• Steps: Set Up Custom Dashboards

As a worker: view ExPR data

1. Go to your profile > Pay, then go to External Payroll Results for Worker.
2. The external payroll results synced from Deel are displayed in the list.

The section name depends on the name the admin has given to the report containing this information. If you cannot find External Payroll Results for Worker, it may be in a custom report — ask your Workday admin for the report name.
