In 2019, Rick DeLaney presented a session to describe PeopleSoft’s ‘Tax Hierarchy’, table structure, and correct tax setup. This session is an updated version (including Paid Family and Medical Leave) and is recommended for both functional and technical users. Feel free to bring any specific questions about how PeopleSoft taxation works!

Over the past two years, organizations around the world have had to respond to many changes happening in the areas of Human Resources, Learning, Absence Management, and Payroll.  Attend this session to learn how PeopleSoft helps HCM customers navigate the new normal of remote working and the increased focus on employee wellness and creating a culture of inclusion and recognition.  You will also learn about roadmap items that address new employee expectations such as the need for flexible or on demand pay days, frequent check-ins for performance reviews, and tracking new ways employees are learning outside of their organization.

Hear about how both the State of North Dakota and the North Dakota University System streamlined their PeopleSoft Automated Testing operations by using PTF and Testing Grounds. Testing a PeopleSoft patch is usually a major undertaking for any organization. However, the State of North Dakota (ND State) and the North Dakota University System (NDUS) had the added complication of maintaining six separate pillars, including Campus Solutions, Financials, Human Capital Management, and Enterprise Learning. Staying current is no easy task, so ND State and NDUS teamed up with SpearMC to implement an automated testing solution that drastically lessened the burden on staff and improved defect identification. We will discuss how we implemented PeopleSoft Test Framework, where our Testing Grounds bolt-on fits into the equation, and how we are supporting their patching moving forward.
