Position Summary
We are seeking an experienced PeopleSoft HCM North America (NA) Payroll Developer to design, develop, and maintain custom PeopleSoft payroll enhancements, reporting structures, and third-party vendor integrations. In this hands-on technical role, you will lead modifications to core paycheck processes (PAY003), build Application Engine and Component Interface integrations for California FLSA/sick-pay rate compliance, and engineer outbound payroll interface files for ADP paycheck rendering. You will partner closely with functional payroll leads and external vendor teams to deliver high-integrity solutions that preserve 100% gross-to-net calculation accuracy.
Key Responsibilities
Core Payroll & Paycheck Customization (PAY003)
- Perform comprehensive baseline technical assessments of PAY003, BI Publisher paycheck layouts, PS_JOB, PS_POSITION_DATA, and existing payroll customization objects.
- Modify PAY003 and supporting staging tables/structures to capture and associate discrete Job and Position identifiers with corresponding earnings lines.
- Architect solutions supporting complex multi-job and multi-position employee populations while eliminating cross-job data leakage or earnings duplication.
- Ensure all enhancements preserve 100% of underlying delivered gross-to-net payroll calculations and existing system control totals.
FLSA Regular/Blended Rate & California Sick Pay Development
- Design and build custom Application Engine programs triggered post-Pay Calculation to identify active pay calendars, eligible non-exempt employees, and qualifying sick pay earnings lines (e.g., Earnings Code 121).
- Write logic to dynamically extract calculated blended regular rates from delivered FLSA tables (PS_PY_EE_REG_RATE).
- Develop and invoke custom PeopleSoft Component Interfaces (CI) to update payroll pay-line structures with hourly rate overrides cleanly—adhering to PeopleSoft business logic rather than direct SQL database updates.
- Support automated payroll recalculation and confirmation cycles to ensure compliant gross earnings, tax withholdings, and general ledger/accounting entries.
ADP Outbound Interface & Integration Development
- Build, maintain, and optimize outbound payroll interface programs mapping PeopleSoft data to ADP formatting specifications (Employee ID, Job/Position, Earnings Code, Hours, Rate, Current Earnings, and YTD Earnings).
- Implement file transmission parameters, delimiters, field lengths, and pre-transmission data validation checks.
- Partner with ADP technical representatives and internal QA teams to execute end-to-end integration testing across the full pipeline (PeopleSoft Payroll PAY003 Interface File ADP Engine Final Paycheck Stub).
Required Qualifications
- Experience: 5+ years of hands-on technical development experience in PeopleSoft HCM (v9.2) with a strong focus on North America (NA) Payroll and Time & Labor.
- PeopleTools Stack: Deep technical proficiency in Application Designer, Application Engine, PeopleCode, Component Interfaces (CI), SQR (specifically PAY003 and payroll batch processes), and BI Publisher.
- Payroll Data Model & Logic: Strong working knowledge of core PeopleSoft HCM and Payroll tables (PS_JOB, PS_POSITION_DATA, PS_PAY_CHECK, PS_PAY_EARNINGS, PS_PAY_OTH_EARNS, PS_PY_EE_REG_RATE), pay calendars, and delivered Pay Calculation/Confirmation cycles.
- Complex Employee Scenarios: Proven experience developing customizations for multi-job/multi-position employee populations and FLSA regular rate calculations.
- Integration & Testing: Demonstrated track record developing flat-file/vendor payroll interfaces (such as ADP) and executing end-to-end reconciliation and data validation testing.
- Database & SQL: Advanced SQL skills (Oracle or SQL Server) for complex querying, staging table design, and batch performance tuning.
Preferred Qualifications
- Direct experience implementing California Sick Pay / FLSA blended regular rate enhancements in PeopleSoft NA Payroll.
- Familiarity with delivered PeopleSoft Time and Labor payable time generation and integration into NA Payroll.
- Experience collaborating directly with third-party payroll vendors (e.g., ADP) on paycheck stub rendering and interface troubleshooting.
- Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or equivalent practical experience.
