for specific time periods.

date.

optional) are completed or define a period after which the checklist will be automatically set to Completed.
Checklist and Task Status – Set the checklist status to Draft, Active, or Inactive. Similarly, set the task
status to Active or Inactive.
Task Owner – Assign owners for each task, to make it easier for the performer to contact the task owner
for any queries.

STEPS TO ENABLE

No steps are required to enable this feature.

TIPS AND CONSIDERATIONS

To create a checklist for Onboarding, you need to define the following:

Enterprise Onboarding Step - This is the child checklist and comprises of tasks that workers need to
perform during any of the onboarding stages or steps. Minimum of one step is required.
Enterprise Onboarding – This is the parent checklist that links together one or more enterprise
onboarding steps.

DOCUMENT RECORDS ENHANCEMENTS


Enhance the ability of administrators, HR specialists, managers, and employees with the following features in
the Document Records work area:

Publish Required: You can make a document record visible on the UI from a specific date. The Publish Date
field is now configured to be entered using HDL only, and not from the UI. If you want the document to be visible
only after a specific date, you must select Yes or No in the Publish Required field on the Create Document Type
page. For example, if you want to make the promotion letter visible starting 1-Apr-2018, select Yes on the
Create Document Type page. Then, pass the date of 1-Apr-2018 in the Publish Date field using HDL, when
creating document records for the worker.

Document Record and Attachment Preferences: You can configure the document type to restrict the
creation, update, and deletion of documents and attachments. Lock the document records and attachments
from being updated or deleted after approval and creation by restricting only the update and delete options. This
enables document records to be used as self-service request forms, which should not be updated or deleted
post approval.

Minimum Attachments: You can specify the minimum number of attachments that a user needs to attach for a
specific document type. By default, this field will contain the value 0 (zero).

Context Code: You can now specify the context for the descriptive flexfield (DFF) by using up to 80 characters
compared to the earlier limit of 30 characters. This context is defaulted when a document record is created for
the document type.

16
Field Lengths: Specify the document code up to 150 characters and document name up to 80 characters
compared to the earlier limits of 105 characters and 30 characters respectively.

You can manage the document types by using the Manage Document Types task in the Setup and
Maintenance work area.

Create Document Type

STEPS TO ENABLE

No steps are required to enable this feature.

TIPS AND CONSIDERATIONS

For the Context Code field, we recommend that you not use more than 76 characters because 4 characters
are required for prefixing the legislation code with underscore.

Document Record and Attachment Preferences: By default, if update is restricted, then deletion is also restricted
and non-editable. Also, if creation is restricted, then deletion and update is also restricted and non-editable.

IMPROVED DIRECTORY SEARCH RESULTS
The Directory person keyword search is enhanced by lowering the priority of the areas of expertise, areas of
interest, and talent skills relative to the other fields searched in the keyword search so that the best results are
sorted to the top of the search results.

When you enter people's names in areas of interest, areas of expertise, or talent skills and search for people in
the Directory using a name, the results displayed records where those names matched in the areas of interest,
areas of expertise, or talent skills. These person records were listed in the same sort order as other people
whose names matched.

For example, if there are two people with the names 'Simpson, Charles' and 'Simpson, Thomas' and no data in
the areas of expertise. A third person whose name is 'Adams, Sue', but has entered 'Simpson' in her areas of
expertise.

Prior to this enhancement, if a person keyword search was performed with ‘Simpson’, the Directory search
results were returned as:

Adams, Sue

Simpson, Charles

Simpson, Thomas

The above results, while were correct, was not expected by most employees. While 'Adams, Sue' should be
returned in the search results because her record has 'Simpson' in the areas of expertise, most employees
expect her record to be lower in the search results.

With this enhancement, the Directory search results will now be returned as:

Simpson, Charles

Simpson, Thomas

Adams, Sue

HUMAN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT FOR CANADA


Oracle Fusion HRMS (Canada) supports Canada-specific features and functionality. It enables users to follow
Canada's business practices and comply with its statutory requirements.

RECORD OF EMPLOYMENT LEAVE OF ABSENCE EVENTS


Use event processing to generate a Record of Employment (ROE) when the employee goes on a leave of
absence.

A Record of Employment Notification event is created automatically for leave of absences when both of the
following occurs:

An absence is created for the employee whereby the element associated with the absence plan is set to
automatically generate ROE event notifications.This is done when the absence element template
question “Should this element create a ROE event notification?” is set to Yes.
The employee is paid within one year of the absence start date.

The Record of Employment Archive processes the ROE events and archives the ROE information for
employees whose leave of absence start date is prior to or as of the effective date that the ROE archive is
processed.

The statuses of the event notifications are explained below:

Awaiting Processing: A notification is created when the employee logs an absence with a start date prior
to processing the ROE archive.
Deferred: Status not supported for ROE leave of absence events.

44
Processing: Status not supported for ROE leave of absence events.
Complete: The ROE archive was processed successfully for the employee.

You may view event notifications for employees using the Manage Event Notifications task in the Payroll
Calculations work area.

Manage Event Notifications

Additional notes regarding the event notification functionality are below.

If an absence is removed and the ROE archive is not processed, the notification record is deleted.
If an absence start date of an employee changes and the ROE archive has not been processed for the
employee, the process date of the event is updated.However, if the absence start date is changed to a
date after the effective date of the ROE archive process, the employee is not included in the ROE archive.

STEPS TO ENABLE

No steps are required to enable this feature.

TIPS AND CONSIDERATIONS

Note the parameters for the Record of Employment Archive process are still in effect while processing event
notifications. For example, if an employee with an unprocessed ROE event notification is not part of the
Payroll Relationship Group submitted for the parameter of the archive, the employee will not be processed.

Volunteering Administration Components: How They Fit Together

EMPLOYEE WELLNESS
Oracle Fusion Employee Wellness supports corporate initiatives to improve employee fitness and health
through the use of opt-in wellness features. This application integrates with popular fitness tracking services to
simplify and automate the acquisition of exercise data from a wide range of devices.

USER INTERFACE IMPROVEMENTS TO MANAGE ACTIVITY TRACKING SERVICES


We have made user interface improvements to the wellness administration that make it easier than ever to
manage activity tracking services. You can now see all connected activity tracking services available to the
employees at a glance and enable or disable a service with the click of a button.

Take advantage of the new interface to easily schedule an activity data refresh. The activity data refresh
scheduler lets you configure how frequently the activity data is imported from a connected fitness tracking
service. This keeps the application up-to-date with most recent data. For instance, you can schedule hourly,
daily, or weekly refreshes. The improved interface enables you to quickly view the status of the scheduler, the
time of the last and next data refreshes, and the frequency at which you have configured the data refresh.
