not using the same version of Oracle Applications. Please suggest if you think any major feature
is missing and you think that should also be part of this document.

A Business Group (BG) holds information about the components of work structures such as
jobs, grades and positions. At the BG level we set up the legislative rules, terms of employment,
remuneration policies and employee work patterns. Oracle HRMS provides the flexibility to
define enterprise the following four basic configurations models,
1

4

A single operating company in one country.


A single operating company in multiple countries.
Multiple operating companies in one country.
Multiple operating companies in multiple countries.

We will create only one BG for demonstration while you can create more than one BGs in your
enterprise to keep sets of data separated. The major reason for creating many business groups
is that your enterprise is present in many countries. The other reasons for creation of more than
one BG are,
o During acquisitions or mergers there is a need to manage separate structures and
processes during a transition phase.
o To keep a copy of your live system with example records for training or testing purposes.
o You are a holding company with a number of subsidiary companies and each subsidiary
has its own structures, employees, and compensation and benefit policies.

13 - Introduction to Oracle
Payroll
1. QuickPay
QuickPay is the process which is used to pay to single employee. It is useful when there is a
need to check new elements definition result before applying on all employees. QuickPay is
also used for instant updates for new hiring, late entries, and terminations.

2. Batch Processing
When we have to process the payroll for more than one employee then we use batch
processing. That is running a request Payroll Run.

3. Payment Methods
In Oracle Payroll we can pay our employees using different payment methods like Check
(Cheque), Direct Deposit, Cash or a combination of different payment methods. There are
certain limitations of localizations.

4. Currency
We can pay using single currency or multiple currencies. The currency is defaulted from the
Business group.

5. Payroll(s)
We define a payroll for a number of employees who share the same payroll calendar and
therefore receive payment on the same date, and at the same regular frequency.

6. Pay Date / Cheque (check) Date


The Pay Date / Check Date is the date of constructive receipt of pay, on which paychecks
become negotiable.

7. Scheduled Run
The Scheduled Run Date is the date scheduled for the Regular run of the payroll in each
period.

8. Cut Off Date


As employees expect salary in their bank account / cash on 1st of each month and it is also the
practice of organization to pay on 1st of each month. Now it is possible if all kind of updating /
addition is restricted in order to verify the data before processing of payroll, processing payroll
and then post processing verifications. So for this purpose a Cut Off date is set for each period,
and all entries or changes in payroll information is restricted after this date. Let say if we will set
it to -5 then the cut off date will be last date of month 5.

In Pakistan the salary is negotiated on the basis of per month salary so I have created this
element to deal with this. I will assign Salary Basis as monthly and will use Salary
Administration to update values of this element. When we will use Salary Administration
page for any employee this element will be automatically assigned to that employee and will
have the salary assigned. So there is no need to manually assign this element to the
employee. We will check this in more detail while assigning salaries to the employee.

In Oracle payroll if you have to pay your employees in back dates then you use Retro pay as it allows
you to back pay employees, in the current payroll run. While to pay in advance the Advance pay feature
is used that allows you to pay employees in advance, in the current payroll run.

4. Process Rollback
A payroll run process can be rolled back and is useful when you want to check the processing and wants
to verify the results. So process, verify, rollback and process again.

those employees who are affected due to this change instead of processing all.

the existing cheque. Dont forget to block the first cheque.
