WORKDAY
What does DESSS deliver for Workday Payroll?
DESSS delivers Workday Payroll on Workday through the workday payroll implementation: organisation and position model; policy and rules configuration; employee data migration; parallel payroll runs; self-service and manager rollout; go-live and statutory reporting. Each step closes with named deliverables you sign off before the next begins.
THE WORKFLOW
6 steps, start to finish
Every engagement follows a documented sequence, so you always know which stage the work is in and what closes it.
- Organisation and position model — Map the workforce
- Policy and rules configuration — Encode the handbook
- Employee data migration — Load the people
- Parallel payroll runs — Match to the cent
- Self-service and manager rollout — Push it to the edge
- Go-live and statutory reporting — Live at a pay boundary

HOW TO ENGAGE
Advice, delivery, or managed service
Engage DESSS at whatever depth the work needs — independent advice before you commit budget, full delivery against an agreed blueprint, or ongoing support from the team that built it.
Consulting & Advisory
Assessment, platform selection, business case, and roadmap — before you commit budget.
Implementation Services
Full delivery to an agreed blueprint, with weekly demos and named deliverables at every step.
Integration & Migration
Connecting and modernizing the systems the work depends on, with validated data and monitored interfaces.
Managed Support Services
Monitoring, incident handling, enhancements, and release management from the team that built it.
A typical DESSS Workday Payroll delivery runs 6 steps, with the final step reached around weeks 14–16. Complex integrations, multi-entity scope, or regulated environments extend that — the discovery session produces a dated plan for your case rather than an average.
Every step closes with named deliverables — Adoption tracking, Balance validation, Benefit setup, Configured policies, Cost allocation rules, Guides, Live payroll, Migrated records — so progress is visible, auditable, and reviewable rather than a status colour on a slide.
Yes. Integration with the systems your payroll depends on is designed early and delivered with validation, monitoring, and error handling, so failures are visible and recoverable.
No. Workday Payroll is often delivered alongside the other Workday products listed below, in a phased roadmap that avoids rebuilding earlier phases. DESSS sequences them so each phase stands on its own.
