This tutorial deals with Fusion Payroll, and how it functions. In this part, we will discuss the UIs related to Payroll Processes.

Payroll Processes

As discussed in the previous part of the tutorial, there are specific processes available at the specific work areas. Depending on the work area’s functionality, it would have the specific payroll processes related to it. For example, the Payroll Calculation Work Area would have the payroll processes that are responsible for calculating the payroll.

It can be accessed by Navigator -> Payroll -> Payroll Flows -> Submit a Process or Report.

Note: For the following steps to be executed, payment methods have to be set up.
