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.

Associate a user-defined value definition to an absence or time element component using a new usage rules region on the value definition page.
Values Defined-by-Criteria Overrides

Values Defined by Criteria Support for Other Units
Calculate rates for a unit, based on value-by-criteria. A rate definition can now be defined that will return a monetary value per unit based on the values defined by criteria information.
Use rate definitions based on a fast formula for complex rate requirements. The new HCM Rate Calculate Value formula type supports rules based on a worker's assignment, terms and payroll relationship attributes.
Override Payslip Availability Date
Specify an Override Payslip Availability Date when running the Generate Payslips process to provide a date to take precedence over the payslip availability date defined in the payroll calendar. In certain instances where an 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.
Payroll Processing Status of Time

Note: For such time entries, you can view the status of approval and transfer too.

Expedited Payroll Processing of Retrospective Time Card Adjustments
Support the payment of late or adjusted time cards outside of your regular payroll cycle using the expedited payroll runs. Select the element entries, specific retro time entries, and earnings and deductions to be included in the expedited processing for the current period.
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.
Reporting of Units other than Time
Report balances corresponding to units other than time, such as mileage or payments per unit produced, in payroll reports that have separate sections for hours and days balances. Currently, several payroll reports show the hours and days balances for elements whose rate is a monetary value per hour and day, respectively. As part of the enhancement to support entering units other than time on timecards, these payroll reports have another section for balances corresponding to units other than time.
Payroll for the United Kingdom

The process retrieves the XML messages, validates, and reports the inbound data. Once retrieved, you can upload the data to the calculation cards and employee records.
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.

Restrict Historical Reporting of Life Events
Restrict how far back participants can report historical life events to enable better benefits processing. We have delivered a new field called "Past Event-Reporting Limit in Days" on the Manage Life Events page to achieve this, on a per-life event basis. If you want to allow self-reporting of historical life events, enter the number of days (up to 90). Otherwise, enter zero."
If participants are able to report more than one historical event, consider configuring collapsing rules.

Previously, you had to do this manually.
Define Rates at Legislative Data Group (LDG) Level

This not only reduces the need to define individual rates for each legal entity that is part of a legislative data group, it also saves you time and effort in your initial rate definition. Take advantage of new fields on the plan, program and rates spreadsheet loaders: Plan Rate Level, Program Rate Level and Rate Legislative Data Group Level. You can also include your rates defined at LDG level when you import and export your global programs and plans using Plan Copy.

You generate your 1095-C report for employees once a year, at the end of the year, but if you implemented Benefits midyear, a proportion of the data required for reporting might not be available. That’s because some of it may still exist in the legacy application. Using the new spreadsheet to override or add any values enables you to generate an up-to-date 1095-C report.

The Synchronize Grade Step Rates process uses a distinct action so you can more accurately determine the source of the updated salary record. Both the Run Grade Step Progression and Synchronize Grade Step Rates processes enable you to indicate the action and action reason when you submit the process. This eliminates the need to update the progression grade ladder definition to identify action reason codes which may differ from run to run.
Synchronize Grade Step Rates in Manual Mode
Enhance your ability to process progression grade ladder rate updates for your workforce. The Synchronize Grade Step Rates process can now be run in manual mode, allowing you to view the proposed salary updates before they are applied to the workers' salary records.
Grade Step Progression Transaction Log
Troubleshoot issues and identify errors in grade step progression processes. When you submit the Run Grade Step Progression or Synchronize Grade Step Rates process, you can opt to create a transaction report that will be created as an output text file when a process is run. The text file contains detail for all the transactions and specifies error conditions that were encountered during processing.
Export Grade Step Progression Transaction Details
Review results of the Run Grade Step Progression and Synchronize Grade Step Rates processes offline. You can export the proposed or actual updates to assignments and salary records for offline review. Export error transactions separately for easy correction and resolution.
Enhanced Salary Basis with Salary Range Differentials
Create salary range differentials in the compensation work area. The application calculates an adjusted salary range (minimum, midpoint, maximum) based on the salary range differential profile linked to the salary basis. You can configure the salary range differential profile by location and can vary it over time using date-effectivity.
Export Models into the integrated workbook, manage values, and import them back into the application. Previously, model values had to be entered directly.

This could be either date earned or process date. The payroll attributes related to the person, such as Payroll Statutory Unit, Legislative Data Group, and Tax Reporting Unit would also be displayed as on the anchoring date of the respective subject area. This would be process date.
For example, if a person’s job is “Analyst” as on 31-Mar-2015 and “Supervisor” as on 31-Feb-2016, when the Payroll Run Results information is queried for these two periods, then it should show the corresponding jobs for the respective payroll run result records
The following subject areas have been enhanced with this functionality:
- Payroll Run Results Real Time
- Payroll Run Costing Real Time
- Payments Distribution Real Time
- Payroll Balances Real Time
- Payments Costing Real Time

Oracle Fusion Benefits is a complete, configurable and flexible global solution that enables organizations to successfully evolve and adapt to the unique needs of their workforce. The solution enables setup of traditional '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.
Improved Self-Service Benefits Pages
Take advantage of the new Relationship Start Date field in the simplified contacts page. Use the relationship start date field, instead of an effective date, to record the start of a relationship. Participants have a better understanding of a “relationship start date” than of a “contact effective date". The application uses the relationship start date entered to calculate the correct contact effective date for the participant, which enables them to be considered towards designation. This results in fewer queries and issues for the administrator to resolve.
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.
Comply with court order legislation by using the new court orders functionality. Record and view court orders, such as US Qualified Medical Child Support Orders (QMCSO). Life event triggering for Create, Update and Delete operations enables you to manage your court orders end-to-end, until they age out or you receive a release, with minimum administrator interaction.
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.
Upload enrollment data for participants and their dependents and beneficiaries more flexibly. Use the enhanced search capabilities on the Person Benefit Balance, Person Benefit Groups and Postal Zip Ranges and Service Area spreadsheet loaders. There is also an additional filter, Event, which enables administrators to upload larger volumes if required, and to prevent the spreadsheet from timing out. The new search filters for Postal Zip Ranges and Service Area are From and To for Postal Zip Ranges, and you can also edit the dates in Edit mode.
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.
Mass Close of Certification Action Items
Progress suspended enrollments more quickly. You can now use a spreadsheet to upload participant, dependent and beneficiary certifications en masse. Previously, you had to close action items for every employee or participant when they provided you with proof, such as a birth, marriage or domestic partner certificate. Once you’ve uploaded the spreadsheet you can process the spreadsheet to close the action items using the Close Action Items process. Once the process completes, you can review the action items and see that the certificates have been provided. You can go to the Enrollments tab and see that the enrollments are no longer suspended.
Cost 100 percent of the rate of a benefit plan to the primary assignment in payroll, if required. You can now select Primary Assignment 100% in the Costing Method field on the Create Standard Rates page. If you use this costing option on these rates, identified by the legal employer, specific plans or elements, or other such criteria, you can allocate the cost based on the employee's organization and such.
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.
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.
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.
Compensation and Total Compensation Statement
Oracle Fusion Compensation enables your organization to plan, allocate, and communicate compensation using the most complete solution in the market. Make better business decisions using embedded analytics and a total compensation view of workers, regardless of geographic location or pay package components.
Improved Salary Functionality and Pages
Search and manage salary basis using the streamlined Manage Salary Basis page. Use the new configuration option to control decimal display of salary attributes. View additional details of the element attached to the salary basis. Inactivate unused salary basis so that workers are no longer assigned. The salary page is now separated into landing and proposal pages, to provide a more focused view. You can now only submit one salary change transaction at a time. When using components with salary, the approval notification now displays the component values.
Populate Salary from Progression Grade Ladder Rates
Streamline entry of salary amounts for workers whose rates you define on a progression grade ladder. You can choose to include salary updates in employment transactions. The application uses the rates from the progression grade ladder to populate the worker’s salary record during new hire transactions and when the grade ladder, grade or step are updated on the assignment.
Enhanced Compensation Change Statements
Associate eligibility criteria with Compensation Change Statement templates. Enable administrators to generate statements and deliver to managers through the worksheet, and workers through self-service. Administrators can now access statements through Administer Workers.
Updated Workforce Compensation User Interface
Simplify navigation for managers within the Workforce Compensation cycle. Use the new landing page to direct managers from task to task and provide additional analytic details. Configure additional summary analytics to provide at-a-glance information for managers.
Enhanced User Worksheet Personalizations
Maintain worksheet personalization throughout the compensation cycle. Managers can now configure the worksheet view, save, and retain the configuration. Features you can personalize include column order, hide, show, visible rows, frozen columns, team filter, row height, worksheet information, worksheet summary, and table filters.
Review Triggered Alerts in Administer Workers
Update information within Administer Workers to trigger or resolve alerts. Hide alerts for individual workers from managers, if desired.
Filter Worksheet Download Administrator Report
Reduce the size of the exported data and enhance download performance for the Worksheet Download administrator report.
Protected Cells in Downloaded Worksheet
Keep managers from changing data in locked or read-only cells in the downloaded worksheet.
Increased Flexibility for Configuring Total Compensation Statements
Embed compensation items within the rich text editors in the Welcome, Summary, or Descriptive portions of the Total Compensation Statement. Select and insert data fields. You can embed rich text, a compensation item, an item value, or a conditional statement to include or exclude these items. Use for both the online statement and the printable (PDF) statement.
