DATA SHEET Workday & SafeGuard World International A Certified Integration for Global Payroll March, 2014 Prepared by SafeGuard World International in Partnership with Workday Page 1 of 8
A Certified Integration Solution This Data Sheet has been produced to enable prospective clients and partners to understand the certified integration between Workday and SafeGuard World International s global technology system. In May, 2010, SGWI became the first global payroll provider to establish a formal partnership with Workday and developed a Certified Integration, a pre-configured global payroll interface, between Workday s Cloud Connect for Third-party Payroll and SGWI s Software-as-a-Service global payroll technology system. SGWI started processing live client payrolls in early 2011 and today, enjoys 30 shared clients with Workday. The really powerful element of the Certified Integration is that it removes the pain of integration build and maintenance for our mutual clients. This is a highly complex area and the integration with Workday means clients don t have to become experts in building countryspecific integrations to their local payroll solutions. Bjorn Reynolds Founder & CEO SafeGuard World International Together, SafeGuard World International and Workday help clients achieve integration between their global HR system of record and their payroll systems. Figure 1 - Certified Integration of Workday & SafeGuardWorld International To build the integration, SGWI and Workday worked together to determine what in-country data items would be required in order to provide a consistent way of importing global payroll data into SGWI s system and then, following the payroll processing, exporting the data back into Workday s system. The Certified Integration uses a Data Dictionary to map Workday data items to their corresponding value in SGWI s system, so the data can be maintained in synch using Workday as the System of Record. The organization structures in Workday are replicated into SGWI s global payroll technology system, enabling clients to obtain the same view of their data from a payroll standpoint, as they do with Workday. The solution provides clients with real time visibility of payroll results, which can then be used to drive other business processes. Page 2 of 8

Workday Integration Details The integration ensures that the relevant fields required for processing employee pay in countries around the world are designed so that they can be exported from Workday s system into SGWI s system. Operationally, a file of data is generated and sent from Workday securely to SGWI, typically via SFTP. SGWI then loads this data straight into its technology system for every country in scope. The benefit this delivers to joint clients is the ability to have a single Global HCM system combined with a single global payroll management system. SGWI s technology system contains rule sets that define the specific data items that SGWI needs to process payroll in any country: accurately and compliantly. The integration: SafeGuard World International has provided a great solution for our customers with global payroll needs. We appreciate SafeGuard World s dedication to quality and ensuring customer success.

Local client office enters master file changes into Workday HCM. 2. The client and SGWI create an agreed upon schedule with detailed client timelines and cut off dates. Upon established transmission date, Workday transmits the data files via SFTP to SGWI. The data file contains New Hires, Changes, Terminations, Earnings and Deductions. As the files are processed, they are validated for accuracy and completeness for each country, identifying and mitigating the risk of bad or incomplete data reaching the system. 3. SGWI uploads the integration file into its technology system. Page 4 of 8
4. SGWI uploads any variable pay data such as evaluated time coming from a time and labor solution, commissions, bonuses, expense reimbursement files, etc. 5. SGWI initiates the payroll process. Figure 2 - Process Flow 6. SGWI validates and reconciles the payroll and sends the results to the local client office for review. 7. Local client office reviews, revises and approves the payroll. Questions or changes are sent back to SGWI for resolution. Changes initiate new validation and reconciliation from SGWI and approvals from the local client office. 8. SGWI receives approval of the payroll from the local office and confirms the payroll for the period. 9. Client may choose one of two payment processes. a. ENTITY GROUP A: SGWI, in conjunction with its Foreign Exchange partners, determines the total USD, GBP or EUR funding value to be provided to SGWI by the client for payment. The client then funds SGWI, and SGWI executes the Employee Payments and relevant in-country statutory payments. b. ENTITY GROUP B: SGWI creates a bank file which is sent via SFTP to the client or the client s bank (with relevant authority) for approval and payment. 10. SGWI outputs the payroll data and integrates into Workday s HCM. Page 5 of 8
