Job role: PeopleSoft Payroll Functional
Duration: 1 week
Location: Remote
Overall Need:
• From the UI/HR side, the client believes this is primarily a functional configuration task.
• They need to configure new earning codes related to the Big Beautiful Bill (federal) updates, particularly around overtime (OT) (tips are uncertain at this time).
• The W-2 form is already updated; the main remaining task is ensuring the correct earning codes are configured so they flow properly into tax definitions and W-2 reporting.
Functional Configuration Scope
• Primary task is configuring earning codes in the Earnings Code Table.
• These earning codes must:
• Be selectable in tax definitions
• Appear correctly on employee W-2 forms
• Be configured with proper Finance/General Ledger (GL) mappings
• The client may also need:
• Written configuration specs
• Validation to ensure new earning codes do not impact other systems
Current System Environment
• PeopleSoft HCM 9.2 - Payroll module
• Payroll processes are already established and functioning.
• System has been in use for approximately 10 years and is stable.
• Backend tax definitions are already in place.
• If earning codes are configured correctly, the system should support the required updates.
Business & Payroll Impact Considerations
• Client is not fully certain how the changes will impact daily payroll operations.
• It is unclear:
• Whether tips apply to their workforce
• Whether union employees are affected
• Whether there are penalties tied to compliance timing this year
• They do know that overtime (OT) earnings are applicable.
Documentation & Knowledge Gap
• The HR team believes they could follow documentation, but:
• They do not want to be responsible for the configuration alone.
• They want an experienced SME/Functional resource to:
• Guide them step-by-step
• Show how to configure earning codes properly
• Train HR staff on usage
• Provide oversight and validation
Testing Support Needed
After configuration, the resource will need to:
• Support testing of new earning codes
• Validate that payroll results are accurate
• Ensure changes do not negatively impact payroll or reporting
