Prevent Payroll Errors Before They Happen
Before PayMatch
Historically, a Payroll Department would request its IT Department to run parallels and produce payroll registers and/or spreadsheet results. Reconciling between the payroll registers can be cumbersome and time consuming and creating spreadsheets is prone to errors.
PayMatch® allows the Payroll Department to identify these discrepancies quickly, in an efficient and comprehensive manner. This bolt-on solution empowers Payroll teams and frees up IT Department resources.

PayMatch® Can Be Used For:
Most Popular PayMatch® Uses
Implementations
Use PayMatch® when first implementing PeopleSoft Payroll, or when converting a separate organization from any payroll application to PeopleSoft Payroll.
Reasonable Test
Every pay period processing to identify reasonable difference between prior and current payrolls.
Upgrades/Updates
Use PayMatch® to verify that the upgrade process did not inadvertently affect payroll processing.
Tax Updates
Test the expected changes introduced by a tax update.
The most common use of PayMatch® is to compare between the same PeopleSoft payroll before and after a Tax Update or Bundle has been installed. This will allow the Payroll Department to fully understand and verify the payroll impact of the PeopleSoft delivered changes.
Another use is to compare consecutive PeopleSoft payrolls before and after a comprehensive change has been made into the system (ex. Annual Merit increases, Benefits rate changes) to ensure the update process did not have any unintended consequences.
PayMatch® has also been used in PeopleSoft Implementations by our consultants. With the use of a customized Adaptor, PayMatch® can be used to parallel payrolls from 3rd Party Payroll systems (ex. ADP, Ceridian, GEAC, SAP).
