HUMAN RESOURCES
GLOBAL HUMAN RESOURCES
Oracle Fusion Global Human Resources enables your organization to plan, manage and optimize all
workforce segments using flexible and extensible best practices to realize extraordinary gains while
ensuring compliance and increasing total workforce engagement.
ENHANCED ADD PERSON FLOWS
The Add Person flows are enhanced for capturing employment, compensation, and roles information.
The earlier Employment Information page is split into two train stops: Employment Information, and
Compensation and Other Information to avoid scrolling down the page.
You can also add direct reports to the person in the same transaction from the Manage Direct Reports
section in the Employment Information page.
Employment Information Train Stop Split Into Employment Information, and Compensation and Other Information Train
Stops
STEPS TO ENABLE
There are no steps necessary to enable this feature.

ENHANCED MANAGE DIRECT REPORTS
Manage direct reports functionality now supports matrix management. You can now add direct reports
or reassign both direct and other types of reports to different manager types on the Manage Direct
Reports page. You can either select or deselect the direct reports in a single click.
Add Direct Reports to Different Manger Types on the Manage Direct Reports Page
You can also add direct reports and reassign line reports from the following manager self-service pages:
Hire, Add Contingent Worker, Promote, Transfer, Change Working Hours, and Change Manager. In
addition the manage direct reports functionality is also included in the following human resource
specialist processes: Hire, Add Contingent Worker, Create Work Relationship, Global Transfer, Global
Temporary Assignment, Temporary Assignment, Add Assignment, Add Work Terms, End Assignment,
and End Work Terms.
However, on the Terminate page, you can manage only direct line reports because terminations may
involve multiple assignments.
Add Direct Reports Included in Promote Page
STEPS TO ENABLE
There are no steps needed to enable the feature.
TIPS AND CONSIDERATIONS
Use the Reassign Direct Reports section embedded on the Employment pages if the proposed manager
is different from the manager's manager.
KEY RESOURCES
For more information, go to Applications Help for the following topics:
• Managing Direct Reports: Explained

• Adding and Reassigning Direct Reports for Global Transfers and Global Temporary
Assignments: Explained
CHANGES FROM EXTENSIBLE TO USER FOR SPECIFIC PERSON LOOKUP TYPES
You can now customize your own values for the following lookup types as they are converted from a
customization level of extensible to user:
• CONTACT
• MAR_STATUS
• PER_HIGHEST_EDUCATION_LEVEL
• PER_NATIONAL_IDENTIFIER_TYPE
• PER_ETHNICITY
• PER_VISA_PERMIT_TYPE
You can add lookup codes or change the tags for the user lookup type to suit your business
requirements.
Customization Level for Contact Lookup Type is User
STEPS TO ENABLE
A new system-level lookup type now exists for each of the above user-level lookup types. Predefined
legislative and statutory reports use the system-level lookup types, which are as follows:
• ORA_PER_CONTACT
• ORA_PER_MAR_STATUS
• ORA_PER_HIGHEST_EDUCATION_LEVE
• ORA_PER_NATIONAL_IDENTIFIER_TY
• ORA_PER_ETHNICITY
• ORA_PER_VISA_PERMIT_TYPE
You must create an extended lookup mapping to add a new lookup code that needs to be included in
reports delivered by Oracle localization teams. You map the extended lookups using the Manage
Extended Lookups task.
Mapping Highest Education Level System Lookup Code
For example, if you add 'HUSB' and 'WIFE' as new lookup codes for country US, and 'PART' as a new
lookup code for country 'GB', the extended lookup for 'ORA_PER_CONTACT' will be as follows.
Lookup Type Country Lookup Code Extended Code Extended Meaning

ORA_PER_CONTACT SPOUSE SPOUSE Husband/Wife/Partner for China
ORA_PER_CONTACT US SPOUSE HUSB Husband (US only)
ORA_PER_CONTACT US SPOUSE WIFE Wife (US only)
ORA_PER_CONTACT GB SPOUSE PART Life Partner (GB only)
If you change any of the details in an Oracle delivered lookup code in the user lookup types, you take
ownership of the lookup code. The lookup code will not be updated when Oracle delivers any updates to
that lookup code. But, if you delete the lookup code in the user lookup type, it will be replaced when
Oracle delivers updates to the lookup type.
ENHANCED DUPLICATE PERSON VALIDATION
The prevention of adding duplicate people functionality in the Add Person flows is extended to the
Worker service. A new option, Person Creation Service Duplicate Check is added on the Manage
Enterprise HCM Information page. This option is referenced when creating workers though the Worker
service. You must update this option to specify your preferred level of duplicate person validation. This
option checks for matches between person name, date of birth, gender and national ID. The validation
generates an error and prevents creation of a duplicate person if there are any conflicts.
Person Creation Service Duplicate Check Field Added on the Manage Enterprise HCM Information Page
STEPS TO ENABLE
By default, the Person Creation Service Duplicate Check option is disabled to avoid regression issues.
You must specify a value for this option to enable the validation and the level of check in the Worker
service.
SALARY UPDATE WHEN CHANGING WORKING HOURS
Enhance line manager’s ability to update the salary of part-time workers when changing their working
hours. You can now update the salary by using the Change Working Hours task in Manager Self Service.
Update Salary Based on Working Hours
STEPS TO ENABLE
AREAS OF RESPONSIBILITY ENHANCED TO INCLUDE ADDITIONAL ATTRIBUTES AND

RESPONSIBILITY
Provide greater flexibility in defining the scope of areas of responsibility. You can now define scope
based on job families and job functions. The Areas of Responsibility page also shows a new Recruiting
responsibility type and new scope attributes based on recruiting type and hierarchies. The recruiting
responsibility type and recruiting attributes are for use with a future enhancement.
• You can access the new scope attributes using the Manage Areas of Responsibility task in
the Person Management work area.
New Attributes in the Scope Definition
STEPS TO ENABLE
WORKER USER ACCOUNTS NO LONGER CREATED AUTOMATICALLY FOR USERS LOADED IN BULK
When you loaded workers using HCM Data Loader in releases prior to Release 12, the enterprise HCM
options Generate User Account and Send User Name and Password controlled whether:
• User accounts were created automatically.

• Credentials e-mails were sent to users.
In Release 12, the enterprise HCM options are ignored when you load workers in bulk. To give you
greater control, the GeneratedUserAccountFlag and SendCredentialsEmailFlag attributes of the Worker
object are now set to N (No) by default. When loading workers using HCM Data Loader, you must set
the GeneratedUserAccountFlag attribute to Y (Yes) for any worker for whom you want a user account to
be created automatically. You must also set the SendCredentialsEmailFlag attribute to Y (Yes) if you
want the account credentials to be sent. If you omit these attributes, then their values are N (No) by
default.
As a result of these changes, unwanted user accounts will no longer be created automatically when you
load historical data in bulk for workers whose work relationships are terminated, for example.
STEPS TO ENABLE
If you set SendCredentialsEmailFlag to Y for any Worker object, then you must ensure that a valid
notification template is both defined and enabled for this event. You manage notification templates on
the Security Console. The Send User Name and Password option is removed from the Manage
Enterprise HCM Information page in Release 12.
JOB FAMILY CODE ADDED TO JOB FAMILY PAGES
The Job Family Code is a new field added on the Manage Job Family and Create Job Family page. The job
family code facilitates tighter integration with other external applications that have this attribute and
require the value to be passed to Oracle Fusion Human Capital Management (HCM). The attribute value
is automatically populated from the job family name after formatting it into capitals and replacing blank
spaces with underscores. Although you can change the job family code, the changes aren’t tracked.
Job Family Code on the Create Job Family Page
STEPS TO ENABLE
EMPLOYMENT MODEL SIMPLIFICATION
The employment model is now simplified to only include the following 2 Tier options for new customers:
• 2 Tier – Multiple Assignment

• 2 Tier – Single Assignment
• 2 Tier – Single Contract – Single Assignment
23
Existing customers can also continue to use the following 3 Tier options:
• 3 Tier – Multiple Employment Terms – Multiple Assignment

• 3 Tier – Multiple Employment Terms – Single Assignment
• 3 Tier – Single Employment Terms – Multiple Assignment
• 3 Tier – Single Employment Terms – Single Assignment
NOTE: For existing customers using only the 2 Tier options, we recommend that you don’t use the 3 Tier
options because of the employment model simplification.
You can access the employment model options using the Manage Legal Entity HCM Information or
Manage Enterprise HCM Information task in the Setup and Maintenance work area.
2 Tier Employment Model Options for a Legal Entity
The following screen capture shows the employment model options when using the Manage Enterprise
HCM Information task.

35
CHANGED RULES FOR POPULATING GRADES AND GRADE LADDERS IN ASSIGNMENTS
The rules for populating the grades and grade ladders in an assignment are now changed. You can now
use the Default Valid Grades profile option independent of the Enforce Valid Grades profile option, to
populate valid grades in an assignment. The Default Valid Grades profile option populates the grade in a
new assignment, while the Enforce Valid Grades profile option also restricts the Grade LOV in the
assignment to allow only the selection of a grade that is valid for the job or position.
Valid grades are now populated from the position, even if no entry grade is specified in the position. If
valid grades are enforced or configured to be synchronized from the position and the enforced valid
grade is not part of the selected grade ladder, a warning is shown in the assignment.
Some of the other rules for populating the grade and grade ladder are as follows:
• Grades specified in a position always take precedence over grades specified in a job. If valid
grades are specified for a job and position, then the grades for the jobs would be ignored
and the position grades would be used in an assignment if a position exists.
• If an entry grade is captured at the position, then this is always used for populating in a new
assignment, even if the profile option to default valid grades is not enabled.
• Synchronization of a grade from the position takes precedence over the profile option to
default or enforce valid grades.
• If the grade or the grade ladder is selected for position synchronization, the value is
inherited from the position and is displayed as read-only in the assignment. But if no value
exists at the position for these attributes, the attribute remains editable in the assignment.
If multiple valid grades exist, the entry grade will be the default and the attribute remains
editable in the assignment but is restricted to only valid grades of the position.
STEPS TO ENABLE
36
NEW POSITION ATTRIBUTE - STANDARD WORKING HOURS
Use the new Standard Working Hours field on the Create and Edit Position pages to capture standard
working hours, which can be different from working hours to support part-time positions. This value is
now used to calculate the FTE (Full Time Equivalent) in the assignment. So, even if a value for the FTE
exists at the position it won’t be copied in an assignment that uses that position. Instead, the
assignment FTE value is calculated as a ratio of working hours to standard working hours. For example, if
there are 3 incumbents in a position working 20 hours each, the information displayed in the position
and assignment is as follows:
Field Position Assignment

Working Hours 20 Weekly 20 Weekly
Standard Working Hours 40 Weekly 40 Weekly
Headcount 3 1
FTE 1.5 0.5 (20/40)
Standard Working Hours Added to the Create and Edit Position Pages
37
STEPS TO ENABLE
• After an upgrade, the Standard Working Hours field is populated with the same value as the
working hours in existing positions.
• The value for the FTE (Full Time Equivalent) in an assignment is not synchronized from the
position. Instead the FTE value is calculated as a ratio of working hours to standard working
hours. The FTE is used for validating the number of incumbents where hiring for a position is
allowed only if sufficient vacant FTE and headcount is available for the position.
NEW SCHEDULED PROCESS FOR POSITION SYNCHRONIZATION
A new process, Synchronize Person Assignment from Position is introduced. You must run this process
to:
• Update impacted assignments in the enterprise or legal entities when position

synchronization is enabled for the first time or changed later.
• Update impacted assignments when you upload changes in the position using HCM Data
Loader.
The current function of the Initialize Position Synchronization process is now incorporated into the new
process and hence, the Initialize Position Synchronization process is now obsolete.
STEPS TO ENABLE
There are no steps needed to enable the feature.

HUMAN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT FOR CANADA
Oracle Fusion HRMS (Canada) supports country specific features and functions for Canada. It enables
users to follow Canada’s business practices and comply with its statutory requirements.
INVOLUNTARY DEDUCTIONS: ENHANCED PROTECTED PAY RULES
Additional Protected Pay functionality is introduced to specify how the employee’s protected pay is
calculated.
Protected Pay functionality for involuntary deductions was initially introduced in release 10, bundle 17.
It was also previously enhanced in release 11, bundle 8. Several new rules are introduced with this
release.
You can configure protected pay rules for each individual deduction on the involuntary deduction card
for the employee. The payroll process calculates the protected pay amount based on the rules
configured on the involuntary deduction card for the employee. Use the Enterable Calculation Values
on Calculation Cards tab on the Manage Calculation Cards page, to create individual entries and define
the rules.
Enterable Calculation Values on Calculation Cards
You can create entries using the following new rules:
50
New Rules
• Apply Protected Pay Percentage to Income Above Protected Pay Amount
This is a Yes or No option that specifies how the protected pay calculation applies the percentage.
For example, if the court order specifies a Protected Pay exemption of $X, plus 50% of the wages above
that exemption, then you would use this rule.
If your selection is:
• Yes, the protected pay percentage is calculated on the disposable income over the
protected pay amount, and then added to the protected pay amount.
For example, PP= (Disposable Income - PP Amount) * PP % + PP Amount.
PP – Protected Pay
• No, the protected pay is the maximum of the protected pay percentage or the protected
pay amount.
51
Exemption
This is an exemption amount used to reduce the gross or net prior to applying the deduction percentage
in the calculation.
Maximum Protected Pay Amount Per Month
This is an amount that specifies a maximum value for the protected pay amount for each deduction in a
month. If there are multiple deductions of the same type (for example, 2 garnishments), this serves as
the maximum value for all deductions of the same deduction type.
52
Maximum Withholding Amount Per Month
This is an amount that specifies a maximum withholding value for the deduction in a month.
Configure these rules for any of the deduction types: Garnishment, Maintenance and Support, and Tax
Levy. You can use a combination of these rules to meet the requirements in the court order.
The British Columbia Family Maintenance Enforcement Program (BC FMEP) has a prescribed rate for
protected pay based on the amount of wages paid per period. This is only for maintenance and support
deductions and is addressed by configuring the following rule:
53
Maintenance and Support BC FMEP
This is a Yes or No option that specifies whether the protected pay calculation for British Columbia FMEP
is enabled.
If your selection is Yes, the British Columbia FMEP protected pay calculations are performed.
If your selection is No, the British Columbia FMEP protected pay calculations are not performed.
If you configure other protected pay rules, the British Columbia FMEP protected pay calculations are
overridden and the other protected pay rules are used in the calculations.
54
The requirements for British Columbia FMEP are preconfigured by Oracle.
Some important items to note regarding the Disposable Income Calculation Rule are:
• If the Disposable Income Calculation Rule is not defined, the default value is Percentage of
Net Pay. This means that employee’s net pay is used in the protected pay calculations.
• The Disposable Income Calculation Rule works in the same way for the Deduction
Percentage as it does for the Protected Pay Percentage rule, in that:
o If the rule is Percentage of Gross, the percentage entered on Calculation Values is the
percentage of gross pay
o If the rule is Percentage of Net, the percentage entered on Calculation Values is the
percentage of net pay
o If rule is Percentage of Net Pay Less Specific Deductions, the percentage entered on
Calculation Values is the percentage of net pay less specific deductions
The protected pay amount calculated for the deduction, as well as additional details, is displayed in the
run results for the Results and element’s shadow elements.
Any amounts in arrears will also observe the protected pay limits.
Use the Manage Calculation Cards task from the Payroll Calculation or the Person Management work
areas to create the involuntary deduction card.
STEPS TO ENABLE
55
REPORTING INFORMATION CARD
Use the reporting information card to capture values required for the Record of Employment (ROE).
ROE information is captured by creating calculation components and their associated component
details. For example, the calculation component of ‘Reason for Issuing ROE’ corresponds to its
component details of the valid reasons as per Service Canada.
The information captured is used to report ROE information in the following blocks:
• Reason for Issuing ROE (Block 16)

• ROE Vacation Pay (Block 17A)
• ROE Statutory Holiday Pay (Block 17B)
• ROE Other Monies (Block 17C)
• ROE Comments (Block 18)
• ROE Special Payments (Block 19)
Additionally, several items are now defaulted and automatically created. The enhancements to the UI
include:
• The TRU association is now created automatically based on the employee’s payroll
relationship. Previously you had to manually create this association.
• The payroll associated with the payroll relationship is now defaulted when creating a
calculation component. Previously you had to manually select a payroll.
• The component details are now enabled by default for the related calculation component.
Previously you had to manually select and add it before being able to enter any values.
• The Federal heading under the component group section is renamed to Reporting
Information and the components and component details are displayed in that section.
Use the Manage Calculation Cards task from the Payroll Calculation and the Person Management work
areas to create a Reporting Information card.

STEPS TO ENABLE
GLOBAL ABSENCE ELEMENT UPTAKE
Oracle Fusion Human Capital Management for Canada provides the ability to process absences in
Canada. There is integration between the absence management system and payroll. The information
passed from absences to payroll is used to calculate the absence payment in payroll.
The absence element is created in payroll. When defining the absence plan, the absence element is
associated to the plan, which serves as the connection between the absence and payroll systems. When
an absence is recorded for the employee, the person’s absence calculation card is created and the
absence plan is linked to the calculation component on the person's calculation card. Also, the daily and
summary breakdown information is automatically transferred to payroll.
58
You can process the payroll that includes these absence entries and view the resulting absence balances
on the person's Statement of Earnings (SOE). After you process and archive payments, you can also
view the resulting absence balances on the person's payslip.
Rules and leave plans for absences vary throughout Canada. In general, they are defined by provincial
Employment Standards, although employers can also define their own rules. Uptake of the global
absence template will provide the primary classification of Absence and the additional secondary
classifications of the following absence types:
• Vacation
• Sickness
• Maternity
• Other
Absence and accrual balances are displayed in the following:
• Payslip
• Cheque advice
• SOE
• Global reports
o Payroll Activity Report
o Payroll Balance Report
o Payroll Gross-to-Net Report
o Payroll Register Report
o Element Result Report
As a summary, the high-level list of the steps involved in processing absences is noted below. These are
in sequential order, as some of the setup may be used in a subsequent step. A number of the steps
show the related pages displaying the configuration or results of the processing.
1. 1. Create rate definitions to use in calculating accrual and liability balances.
59
2. 2. Create absence element and eligibility.
60
You must create the eligibility for the following elements:
<base element (for example, RLH CA Vacation)
<base element> accrual (for example, RLH CA Vacation Accrual)
<base element> entitlement (for example, RLH CA Vacation Entitlement)
3. 3. Create derived factors, if applicable.
4. 4. Create eligibility profile.
61
5. 5. Create an absence plan and ensure the following is defined for payroll:
o You select the transfer absence payment information for payroll processing check
box.
o You select the element for the plan in the Element field.

NON TAXABLE EMPLOYEE AND EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTION THRESHOLD AMOUNTS
Comply with the regulation on taxable social security contribution calculations in Shenzhen and
Shanghai by capturing nontaxable employee and employer contribution threshold amounts and using
them in monthly individual income tax calculations.
STEPS TO ENABLE
Set up the employee and employer nontaxable contribution threshold amounts by social security item,
territory and contribution type as needed. This setup should occur at the payroll statutory unit level, on
the Statutory Deductions calculation card, under the Social Security group.
Set Up Nontaxable Contribution Threshold Amounts at Payroll Statutory Unit Calculation Card Level
You may also set up the threshold amounts at tax reporting unit level and/or payroll relationship level.
77
Amounts set up at payroll statutory unit level apply to everyone in a territory of a contribution type, if
no overriding value is provided at tax reporting unit level or payroll relationship level. Amounts set up at
tax reporting unit level apply to everyone making contribution via the tax reporting unit if no overriding
value is provided at payroll relationship level. Amounts set up at payroll relationship level are used in
the tax calculation for a particular employee if available.
For the taxable social security contribution calculation, data set up at Payroll Relationship level always
takes precedent, followed by the data set up at Tax Reporting Unit level and then the data at Payroll
Statutory Unit level.
The non taxable contribution threshold amounts will be used in the calculations, if, apart from
nontaxable contribution threshold amounts, the nontaxable contribution rates and/or non taxable
contribution base amounts are set up at the Payroll Statutory Unit, Tax Reporting Unit and the Payroll
Relationship level.
