The payslip modeler enables employees and payroll administrators to model a paycheck/payslip by running a mock payroll run. Employees can use this feature to make decisions regarding various benefit options and savings using the estimates. They can check their estimated take-home pay based on an upcoming bonus or tax refunds.
Payroll administrators can use this feature to answer employee queries or to perform what-if analysis.
Note: The terms Payslip Modeler or Paycheck Modeler refer to the same functionality. The application displays these terms depending on your legislation.
If the profile option HR: Enable Multiple Assignments for Payroll Simulation has been set to Yes, the list of assignments is displayed from which the employee can choose the assignments to run the payroll simulation process.
