The Payslip Modeling feature for Canada is a localized version of the generic Payslip Modeling functionality and is designed to meet local requirements.
For information about the generic Payslip Modeler, see: Using Payslip Modeler
Employees can model their payslip using the Payslip Modeler available online. This is a payslip calculator that can be used by individuals to quickly and accurately answer payslip related questions and address "what-if" scenarios. The calculation results of the 'what-if' scenarios are based on the employee's current pay or the most recent payslip.
This feature is available to both employees and payroll professionals (administrators) via Self Service HR. Payroll administrators can use this feature to answer queries or perform what-if analysis for employees.
Note: The Payslip Modeling feature is not available from Manager Self-Service and Contingent Worker Self-Service responsibilities.
The Payslip Modeling feature consists of the following processes:
A Welcome page greeting the employee by name and where the employee must agree to certain terms and conditions.
A Payslip Modeler page where employees can select from earnings and deductions to model as well as change tax information (if desired). Once the selections are complete, the employee can submit their model payslip to be calculated.
Results are displayed, which the employee can optionally print out as a PDF document.
Note: Users cannot run the payslip modeling process, if there is a prepayment or costing process already executed for the current pay period. The employee data remains absolutely unaffected by the simulation process. Users must first agree to the Usage Terms and Conditions in the Welcome page before they can begin modeling their payslip. Employees can elect to print a PDF copy of their model payslip results. The PDF output displays a watermark indicating it is a sample payslip only, plus the model result values are designated as Estimated.
For the Canada Localization, the Payslip Modeling functionality enables employees or payroll administrators to model the following information to determine the impact on payroll calculations:
Address Details
Tax Information Details
Earnings and Hours
Deductions
The Payslip Modeling feature enables employees and payroll administrators to perform the following tasks:
Employees can view information provided in the Welcome Page and agree to the Usage Terms and Conditions.
After employees agree to the usage terms and conditions, the Generate Model Payslip page appears. On this page, employees can:
View certain personal and pay information such as Employee Name, Job Title, Payroll, Pay Basis, Annual Salary, and Gross Pay.
Perform payslip modeling altering address related details. The work location field displays the employee's assignment work location, by default. The Employment Province and Override Province fields are read-only. If there is a change in the work location, then the read-only Employment Province field gets updated according to the new province. The Override Province, if present, is the province in which the employee is currently taxed. Employees can select a work location available to the assignment based on the business group. The federal and provincial fields that subsequently appear are related to the work location. The initial value that appears in each of the federal and provincial fields, by default, is the value set in the employee's record.

Change the work location, federal, or provincial tax details to view the impact on payroll and tax calculations. A work location change will only impact tax calculations if there is a province change. You can view the change in the Simulation Output in the Tax Deductions section. If users are planning on moving to a different province, they can model a work location change to assess the impact on tax and other deductions to determine changes to net or take-home pay.
Model changes to net or take home pay by selecting different earnings and deductions that have been made available for modeling. For example, an employee may be eligible for an upcoming bonus or overtime pay, and would like to see what their net or take home pay will be. The list of Element-Input Values that appear can change, based on the work location selected.
Employees can view and print model payslip results. They can view side by side pie charts that compare the employee's Current Pay to their Estimated (model) Pay. The Current Pay pie chart displays data from the employee's most recent payslip. The Estimated Pay pie chart displays data from the model payslip. The Current Pay and Estimated Pay pie charts provide a breakdown of current and estimated pay by pretax deductions, taxes, other deductions and net pay.
