In 2016, Workday introduced – PECI (Payroll Effective Change Interface) – designed to improve
users’ visibility of pay transactions. PECI is a full-stack integration. It transmits each payroll
change for each worker sequentially and includes the effective date and data entry date for each
change.
Capabilities:
Supports Effective dating / Sequence of records to represent all worker effective changes.
PECI sends payroll data to and receive payroll data from a third-party payroll vendor.
PECI can scan up-to additional 2 pay periods of all kinds of worker changes,
PECI connectors give more effective detailed data.
PECI connector gives ability to scan for all effective changes even in future pay periods.
Allows to add field overrides for most of the relevant sections that e.g. allows us to handle
additional fields for multiple positions correctly.
In PECI, Full Extract is indicated using a launch parameter.
We can Reduce troubleshooting time by viewing payroll errors at the worker level.
PECI sends hire and termination data to a third-party payroll vendor immediately upon creation.
PECI tracks the status of the integration and identify any necessary corrective actions without
leaving Workday.
Limitations
PECI has the limitation of handling only 150,000 worker records. As this is quite a new solution
PECI has some minor glitches, but still it is one of the most powerful connectors currently
available in Workday.
It can run up to 50 pay groups per one instance. If we have more than that, we can categorize
the PECI by region based to keep the limit of pay groups per instance to less than 50.
PECI does not include contingent workers in output files. If company employs contingent
workers, we can use the Worker Effective Change Interface (WECI) integration to transmit
contingent worker data.
PECI requires grid. We can have grid enabled for only 1 active tenant in an environment, either
implementation or implementation preview, at a time.
All Effective extract: All worker data changes that are effective within the pay period, regardless
of entry date.
Incremental extract: Worker data changes that are effective within the current or prior pay
periods entered after the last successful integration run datetime.
Use Cases
We can use PECI when
Payroll vendor requires full-stack integration.
Customer has moved to Workday from a legacy third-party ERP that used a full-stack
integration model.
There are up to 150,000 workers per pay group.
There is a need to refresh internal data warehouses with Workday data several times per day.
