Steps: Set Up Machine Learning for Pay Anomalies

Steps: Set Up Machine Learning for Pay Anomalies

The instructions in this topic apply to:
  • Payroll for Australia
  • Payroll for Canada
  • Payroll for the UK
  • Payroll for the U.S.
Workday Pay Anomalies uses machine learning to analyze and identify suspected payroll result abnormalities on an automatic and continuous basis. This can help improve the accuracy and efficiency of your payroll audit process.
The
Payroll Machine Learning GA Features
 innovation services and the
Pay Anomalies
 report are available for Payroll for the U.S., UK, Canada, and Australia but isn't functional for Payroll for France customers.
  1. Enable Innovation Services Feature and Machine Learning Data Contributions.
    On the
    Available Services
     tab, select
    Payroll
     category and then the
    Payroll Machine Learning GA Features
     check box.
    Security:
    Manage: Innovation Services domain in the Innovation Services
     functional area.
    You must opt in to all these 6 data categories to build tenanted models and to enable Pay Anomalies functionality:
    • Anomalous Payroll Results
    • Payroll Data
    • Payroll Data (Historical)
    • Pay Anomalies Validations
    • Previous States of Payroll Results (Historical)
    • Worker Data
    Not selecting all data categories will result in failing to build and deploy the machine learning model as designed. The feature won't be fully functional without these models. See Reference: Machine Learning Data Contributions.
