In this episode, Anurag breaks down the three foundational layers of Workday Payroll architecture: statutory bodies, payment elections and calculations, and payroll interfaces. Drawing from real implementation experiences at PwC and Deloitte, he explains critical concepts including the calculation engine, earning codes versus pay components, payroll square verification, and retroactive payment processing. Whether you're implementing payroll now or planning for the future, understanding these fundamentals will prevent costly architectural mistakes.
