How to maximize the value of global payroll connect

Global Payroll Connect is a fantastic platform, ideally suited to teams managing payroll for multiple entities across several countries.

But for Workday customers to get the full benefit of it, they need to partner with a certified technology partner that can manage the flow of data between (both to and from) your local payroll vendors and GPC.

This is important to note; Global Payroll Connect is available inside Workday but to use it you must work with a partner that can move your data into it.
