At RECONNECT 20, Tammy Boyles, PeopleSoft Product Management Director, provided a PeopleSoft Benefits roadmap and update.

Payroll for North America New Features:
- Canadian Tax Table Enhancement
- Zero Net Pay Configuration Options for View and Print
- Regular Rate of Pay
- HCM Encryption Reaction
- S. Federal Payroll
- Check Reconciliation
- Vendor Sync

In HCM 9.2 Image 43, Payroll for North America introduced the new feature Quick Calculation.  I highly recommend customers look at this feature as an easy added value for your payroll department. Quick Calculation allows the administrator to select an employee to calculate and see the paycheck results directly on the payline.  There is no longer a need to wait for the entire pay calculation process to complete in order to check on one employee calculation.

The PeopleSoft Team will participate full force at the Quest PeopleSoft RECONNECT Virtual Conference. I love this conference because we get to focus on the details of the features delivered to our customers. We can dive deeper, which may help you discover an aspect of our PeopleSoft product that we have provided or will be offering.

HCM 9.2 Image 40 is scheduled to post on October 18, and Tax Update 21-D for Releases 9.1, 9.0, and 8.9 is scheduled to post on October 19.  Watch the Tax Update Information Center for links to the posted documents once they become available.

Payroll for North America Tax Update…

What an experience attending Quest Blueprint 4D as my first in-person conference since 2019. Honestly, I had nerves right before, but in the end, I was happy I chose to present in person. We have adapted well to video conferencing tools, but I miss the personable interactions. The energy felt in a room also can’t be experienced without being there in person. When presenting to the audience, their expressions helped me know if what I was talking about was well received. I especially loved seeing the smiles and excitement when demoing Payroll for North America roadmap items.

Beginning January 1, 2023, the PeopleSoft FSCM, HCM, and Campus Solutions applications will adopt a delivery schedule of 3 Images per year instead of 4.  

Payroll for North America will deliver 4 tax updates per year instead of 5. Tax updates will continue to be included with the PeopleSoft HCM Images except for the end-of-the-year tax update, which is delivered using a PRP. 

We will be starting the Focus Group again for this year in February.  Thank you to all those who participated last year. PeopleSoft Focus Group allows our customers a voice on our roadmap, design, and often a preview of enhancements. All you need to participate in a focus is an Oracle Customer Participation Confidentiality Agreement (CPCA) completed. Once you have a CPCA on file with Oracle, your organization may participate in other focus groups.

Oracle provides a community platform for our customers to help each other and express what they would like to happen in our products.  If it has been a while since you have visited, it may be a good time to get reacquainted.
