In the Know with PeopleSoft

I often get asked, “Where do I find out more information about this topic for PeopleSoft HCM?”

We have so many places to research and learn that it can sometimes get overwhelming. Hopefully, this will help at least one person.

Here are my top 5 to recommend:

When I get asked the same question specific to PeopleSoft Payroll for North America, these are my top 5 recommendations:

Oracle Advisor Webcast for Payroll for North America Tax Update (Hosted 1 to 2 weeks after posting the Tax Updates)
PeopleSoft Payroll for North America Hot Topics (Doc ID 1348833.1) (Review and Subscribe)
Quest Oracle Community PeopleSoft Payroll for North America Special Interest Group (Meets on the second Tuesday of each month)
