Set up Global Payroll Hub (GPH) – Deel

The Global Payroll Hub (GPH) plugin submits payroll cycle information from Deel to Workday's Global Payroll Hub. This centralises payroll processing visibility across vendors within Workday, allowing users with access to the Global Payroll Hub to monitor payroll cycle statuses directly in Workday.

Before you begin

Before starting the GPH 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.

Parts 1, 2, and 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 2: Setting up DCoD - integration system, external payroll vendor, and vendor mapping
Part 3: Activating domains for optional plugins- activate the required GPH domains and assign user groups. See the GPH column in the Security permissions reference.

At least one DCoD sync must have run before GPH can be fully configured.

Workday setup

Step 1: Add the GPH feature to the external payroll vendor

Launch the Edit External Payroll Vendor task and select the external payroll vendor created during the common setup.
Add Global Payroll Hub to the list of features for the vendor.
Save your changes.

Step 2: Edit the external payroll vendor mapping for GPH

Launch the Edit External Payroll Vendor Mapping task and select the external payroll vendor created during the common setup.
In the Feature Configuration section, add the Global Payroll Hub feature with the following attribute:

Attribute	Value
Payroll Processing Endpoint	Retrieve from the integration page in Deel by clicking Enable next to the Global Payroll Hub plugin, then replacing the final apd segment in the URL with gph. For example: https://api.demo.deel.com/apps/webhooks/workday/{INTEGRATION_ID}/gph

Save your changes.

Step 3: Enable GPH for the required pay groups

Launch the Maintain Pay Group Vendor Associations task.
Add a new vendor with the following settings:

Setting	Value
External Payroll Vendor	The vendor you added the GPH feature to
Feature	Global Payroll Hub
Pay Group	All pay groups you want to include in GPH
Payroll Organization Type	Retrieve using the Maintain Organization Types report > Custom tab

Pay groups can only be assigned to one vendor

If a pay group you want to assign is already assigned to another vendor, remove it from that vendor first.

Step 4: Activate pending security policy changes

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