PAYROLL
GLOBAL PAYROLL
Oracle Fusion Global Payroll is a high-performance, graphical, rules-based payroll management application. It’
s designed to keep pace with the changing needs of your enterprise and workforce in order to reduce setup
costs, administration, and processing time. It operates globally and consistently in every country supported by
Oracle. It uses a highly scalable processing engine that takes advantage of the features of the Oracle
database for parallel processing, resulting in optimal performance. In countries with payroll extensions
delivered and supported by Oracle, the application delivers the calculations, tax reporting, and regulatory rules
required to accurately process payroll and remain in compliance.
11
early payroll run is processed, by entering the Override Payslip Availability Date, an employee is able to access
their payslip earlier than usual. For example, with this new feature, an employee would be able to access their
last payslip before they leave the organization.
Note: For such time entries, you can view the status of approval and transfer too.
Use the new attribute on the time card to tag the time card adjustments for expedited payment. Also, you can
mark these expedited time card adjustments to be paid through check even if the employee is normally paid by
EFT. Employees without a tagged retrospective time card change are not included in the expedited payroll run
and such untagged changes are paid in the next scheduled payroll cycle.
12
PROCESSING BENEFITS IN KIND THROUGH PAYROLL
Capture data and process the benefits in kind through the payroll application as prescribed by the legislation.
The payroll process calculates the tax liability of a benefit for the tax period, instead of reporting it at the end of
the tax year. You must confirm the benefits that you want to process through payroll in the tax year with the
HMRC, and set up the benefits data for your employees.
A new Taxable Benefits calculation card is provided that includes calculation components related to each
benefit. Use the appropriate calculation component and calculation component details to capture the benefits
information required to calculate the tax liability.
BENEFITS IN KIND – CAR AND CAR FUEL RATES FOR TAX YEAR 2018-19
Process car and car fuel benefits calculations through payroll with the new rates effective from 6th April 2018.

ENHANCED REPORTING AND SEARCH CAPABILITY ON THE STANDARD RATES PAGE
Use the two new fields, Short Name and Short Code, on the Standard Rates page to enter data you can use to
report on the profiles and to validate setup and changes. You can also use the enhanced search capability on
the Standard Rates page, spreadsheet loader, and payroll element lookup to refine your search and cut down
on the number of results displayed.
PURGE VOIDED AND BACKED OUT EVENTS FROM PERSON LIFE EVENTS
Purge voided and backed out events from the Person Life Events page, which is the same page as you
previously reviewed the participant’s life events. This saves you time as you no longer have to leave the
Person Life Events page, go to the Evaluation and Reporting Work Area, find the appropriate process and run
it just for this one person.
The effective date is used as the date up to which all voided life events for this participant are purged.

Oracle Fusion Benefits is a complete, configurable and flexible global solution that enables organizations to

'one-size fits all' plans to highly complex plans that selectively target different workforce segments with different
benefit packages. Self-service capabilities present the user with an out of the box intuitive guided enrollment
process with contextual information and embedded analytics.
Add additional train stops in your enrollments flow if required. Five additional train stops are available to enable
you to spread across up to twelve plan type groupings. Not only can you add up to twelve train stops in your
enrollments flow, but you can also use existing functionality to rename the train stops to reflect your benefits
offerings, and to control their display.
Using the new functionality you can upload any scanned in financial assessments, or the original court order, for
historical purposes. You can also record a worker as becoming eligible in the future – saving you from having to
remember to go back and enter the detail when the employee does become eligible.
Once you record a court order, participants are prevented from unenrolling dependents from the plan during self-
service enrollment. If they try not to enroll dependents during open enrollment, the application displays a
message notifying the participant that they must designate the dependent and for which plan. They also receive
a message if they try to select another plan to frustrate the court order, for example, or if they try to deselect the
dependent designation on the existing plan.

IMPROVED PURGE BACKED-OUT OR VOIDED LIFE EVENT DATA PROCESS
Delete potential, voided and detected life events en masse using the new parameter, Void Potential Life
Events with Status, on the Purge Backed-Out or Voided Life Event Data process. The audit report and log file
now contain values that enable you to get statistics on the total number of life events deleted, and to get
information about the person numbers, life events deleted, life event name, life event occurred date and life
event status.
You can also copy rates in the Edit Rates spreadsheet where data changes to all the calculation method
attributes are copied to rates in other legal entities. The conditions are that rates must be of the same benefits
object, have the same display type and be of same calculation method.
You might not want to use the costing option if you have not set up cost accounts for employees or you only use
payroll to generate element entries rather than process them. If you do not want to use this costing option, the
cost at the employment level is still set at the payroll relationship level - you cannot allocate the cost based on
the employee's organization.
DIAGNOSTIC REPORTS
Use the two new diagnostic reports, Affordable Care Act and Benefits Health Check. The Affordable Care Act
diagnostics report helps you to check for Affordable Care Act eligibility for example, or to triage any other
discrepancies. The Benefits Health Check diagnostic report helps you to diagnose issues with a participant's
benefits details and other discrepancies. Select the option Run Diagnostics Tests from the Settings and
Actions menu and search for the report to run and view.
29
DELETE PROGRAMS AND PLANS WITH HIERARCHIES
Delete programs or plans with hierarchies quickly and easily in one go. You no longer need to delete all the
child objects first and move up the hierarchy one entity at a time. You can delete programs or plans with
hierarchies irrespective of how the program or plan was created, for example, via quick create, regular create
or plan copy. Being able to delete program or plan hierarchies quickly and easily is especially important if
you want to purge test type programs and plans that will not be part of your final go live setup.

PAYROLL PERSON SEARCH
Use the payroll person search page to perform a person search using a single field search and the Effective As-
of Date. The payroll period defaults from the date you enter for person search. Use the orange button at the
end of each row on the payroll person search results page to perform a number of additional tasks.
STATEMENT OF EARNINGS
Use the Statement of Earnings page to view details of the Earnings, Employee Taxes, Voluntary Deductions
and Net Pay totals. Click on each number to see the breakdown and what components contribute the total.

National identifier, if it is either a Civil Identifier or Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor (MOSAL) ID
OPM employer code
PPM International Bank Account Number (IBAN) and bank code
This is the first step in introducing grade rates or value by criteria to allowance element templates.
33
PAYROLL CYCLE FLOW ENHANCEMENT
Ensure that payroll processes run in the correct order. The payroll archive now runs prior to the payment tasks.
You can run payroll tasks in a predefined sequence for each payroll period using the Payroll Cycle global
delivered payroll flow.
This is the first step in introducing grade rates or value by criteria to allowance element templates.
34
GLOBAL PAYROLL INTERFACE
Oracle Fusion Global Payroll Interface supports features to send personal payroll information to third-party
payroll providers and then to import processed payroll data into Oracle Fusion Global HR. You can copy and
modify predefined extract definitions to meet the requirements of your third-party payroll provider. Before
extracting data, payroll coordinators can optionally run the Calculate Gross Earnings process to calculate
periodic values to validate gross earnings calculations. If you import processed payroll data or payslips from
your third-party payroll provider, the data is available for further reporting and analysis.
FRANCE
Leverage the enhanced global payroll interface to support France-specific requirements. Use the XML output to
send data to third-party payroll providers. The extract definition includes both global fields and localized fields
including:
Person data
Contract information
Disability information
Termination data
Social insurance
Hardship factors
Pension and welfare
35
ENHANCEMENTS FOR BENEFITS
"Person Worksheet Details. Manager Status" reports the manager status during the compensation cycle
(managers who have not started, managers who started, work in progress, in approval, fully approved,
and so on.)
Use the new subfolder named "Due Dates by Hierarchy Level" under the Plan Cycle folder to report on
the due dates by compensation manager hierarchy.
36
ENHANCED DIMENSIONS – COSTING SEGMENTS
Improve your reporting with the enhanced ‘Costing Segments’ dimension in processed costing results subject
areas. Individual costing segments and descriptions are added, in addition to the ‘Concatenated Segment’
dimension that already exists.
