Introduction

The Oracle Fusion HCM product family consists of many products, including Global Human Resources

(HR), Global Payroll, Benefits, Time and Labor, as well as Talent Management. All of these products are

designed to be used globally. Some of these products, especially HR and Payroll, require a high level of

statutory compliance. Oracle Fusion HCM delivers many legislations. The International HR and Payroll

setup task lists provide the ability to set up legislations where Oracle Fusion HCM has not yet delivered

one. These tasks are also useful for organizations, such as the United Nations, which operate in many

host countries but have unique requirements and commitments that require additional configuration.

The International Payroll setup task list is described in a separate white paper (article ID 1453008.1 on

My Oracle Support).

This white paper focuses on the setup task list for International HR configuration but will also cover

additional configurations as needed.

Oracle Fusion HCM International HR Configuration

With the Global HR model, you can use the HR features with little configuration, regardless of country.

Areas to note include:

Enterprise structures

Names

National identifiers

Enterprise Structures

Legal employers must be mapped to payroll statutory units (PSU) and legislative data groups (LDG) correctly.

PSUs group multiple legal employers to determine reporting and other payroll hierarchies.

LDGs contain information on country, currency, and other important legislative information.

PSUs and LDGs are required for the creation of employee payroll relationships. Payroll relationships are required

for element entries, which are used in absence management and other areas. They are also required for payroll

processing using Oracle Fusion Global Payroll or a third-party payroll product. If this setup is done incorrectly, it

can also impact your benefits and compensation management.

Names

You can enter a global name as well as a local name for people. The local name can be in a language other than

English where multi-language support is available and enabled.

The global name can also be in a language other than English. It is an enterprise value that you can set using the

Global-Name Language field.

National Identifier

The National Identifier is specific to a country. You can set it up through the lookup type:

PER_NATIONAL_IDENTIFIER_TYPE.

Configure Legislations for Human Resources

The Configure Legislations for Human Resources task helps you to set up areas that are needed for HR

localizations where Oracle has not yet delivered a configured legislation. Depending on whether you use Global

HR only or also use Oracle Fusion Global Payroll Interface, a different setup may be required. You can accept

the default settings, where available, and return to the page at a later time to change the settings.

Figure 1: Setup and Maintenance work area, showing the Define Elements, Balances and Formulas setup tasks.

Task Name: Configure Legislations for Human Resources

You complete several pages in this task when you create a new legislation.

Select Legislation

Select the name of the country or territory for which you want to define a legislation.

Note: Countries where the legislation is delivered by Oracle, or which have been configured in a prior

implementation, appear as installed countries on this page and are not available for selection.

Legislative Rules

Field Instructions

Tax Year Start Date Choose the day and month when the income tax balances reset to start

annually.

Currency Currency defaults to that of the country selected. You can change it to a

different currency.

Period of Service on Rehire Select the appropriate option:

o Create New Record

Creates a new payroll relationship each time there is a new

employment.

o Use Last Record

Creates a new payroll relationship only if there is an interruption in

employment; otherwise, uses an existing payroll relationship.

o Use Lifetime Record

Restarts an existing payroll relationship at the time of rehire.

Element Classifications

Select which primary element classifications can be used for the legislation. You can rename the

classifications to the names commonly used in that legislation.

Payment Types

Choose from the following payment methods:

o Cash

o Check

o Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT)

You can rename the above payment methods to names that are appropriate to your legislation.

Component Groups

Select which statutory deductions apply for your legislation, and any other component groups you plan

to use:

o Absences

o Benefits

o Federal (commonly known as Income Tax)

o Social Insurance

o Time Cards

You can rename these groups to the names appropriate to your legislation.

Balance Dimensions

The most common balance dimensions are already selected by default. You can add or remove them as

appropriate.

Manage Payroll Product Usage

If you use Oracle Fusion Global Payroll Interface, which provides predefined extract definitions for third-party

payroll providers, you must select Payroll Interface as the product usage for your new legislation. Use the Manage

Payroll Product Usage task. Prior to release 8, use the Payroll License action parameter on the Manage Payroll

Process Configuration page.

Additional Payroll Setup for HR Users

After completing the Configure Legislations for Human Resources and Manage Payroll Product Usage tasks, you

might need to set up these additional areas:

Element templates (required for users of Benefits, Compensation, and Time and Labor)

The Manage Elements task is a guided flow for creating the relevant elements. For HR users, this can be any

earnings, deductions, or information elements required.

Calculation cards (required only if using Global Payroll Interface)

Use the Manage Calculation Cards task to attach a deduction card to each employee so that the appropriate

payroll calculation can be applied correctly.

Payroll definitions (required to establish payroll periods)

For nonrecurring elements, you must set up a payroll definition with appropriate payroll periods, offsets, and

other information. Use the Manage Payroll Definitions task. Before creating a payroll definition, you must

create at least one consolidation group using the Manage Consolidation Groups task.

Payment method and account information (required for payees)

Use the Manage Personal Payment Methods task to enter the payment method and account information forpayees.

Further Considerations

Security

Oracle Fusion uses a common security model. This is a role-based access model and allows appropriate users to

view and edit areas depending on their roles. Refer to the Oracle Fusion Security documentation for further

information.

Reporting

Using the Oracle Fusion common reporting model, you can create reports using the appropriate reporting

infrastructure. Oracle has reporting tools, such as the Oracle Hyperion product, that you can use with any Oracle

application.
