Employment Agreements and Legal Compliance

Employment Agreements and Legal Compliance Overview

In your enterprise, you may have employment agreements that govern employment terms and conditions. These agreements may cover a few, many, or all of your workforce and the terms that they define could vary, depending on the particular situation of an employee. For example, the employment terms and conditions such as pay, work schedules, vacations, termination notice, maternity leave, and deductions from wages may vary for an employee or groups of employees. The employer and the representatives of the employees, for example union representatives, negotiate the working terms and conditions specified in the employment agreements.

Apart from adhering to the employment agreements, an employer has to submit several reports to government authorities to ensure legal compliance. These reports measure the extent the employer complies with legal requirements such as employment standards, pay equity, labor relations (for unionized employees), health and safety protection at work for the employees.

Oracle HRMS enables you to represent the employment agreements with your employees and fulfill your statutory reporting requirements.

Representing Employment Agreements Using Oracle HRMS

In Oracle HRMS, you represent an employment agreement as a collective agreement. Using Oracle HRMS, you can:

For more information about representing employment agreements using Oracle HRMS, see: Collective Agreements

Recording Occupational Health and Safety Details Using Oracle HRMS

Using Oracle HRMS, you can:

Oracle HRMS enables you to link this information together. For example, if a medical assessment is required as the result of a work accident, and that assessment then diagnoses a disability in the person, you can connect these records to one another.

Reporting for Legal Compliance

Oracle HRMS and Oracle HRMSi provide support for several countries to enable employers to fulfill their statutory reporting requirements. For example, Oracle HRMS enables:

Oracle HRMSi offers, for example, the establishment and organization worksheets to report about employee equal opportunities by job. To work with Oracle HRMSi reports, you must purchase the appropriate license from Oracle. For information on licenses, contact your Oracle sales representative.

Collective Agreement Setup

Collective Agreements

A collective agreement is an agreement that defines the terms and conditions of employment for all employees that are covered by its terms. Agreements are typically negotiated and agreed by external bodies such as Trade Unions and Representatives of Employers.

The following sections describe the components you can use to represent the terms of a collective agreement in Oracle HRMS and to apply the correct entitlements to the primary assignments of eligible employees.

Entitlement Items

An entitlement item forms the basis for any entitlement that can be given to an employee as part of a collective agreement. For example, probation period, annual holiday, and car allowance are all entitlement items. For any entitlement you need to provide as part of a collective agreement, you must create an entitlement item.

You can create two types of entitlement item. These are:

Eligibility Profiles

Use eligibility profiles to define the criteria that an employee must meet in order to receive a particular entitlement. The criteria that you can include in an eligibility profile are grouped into five factors:

Each factor contains a variety of criteria from which you select one or more criteria values.

For example, if a collective agreement states that people working in California should receive an extra allowance, you could define an eligibility profile using the Employment Factor criteria of Work Location. The value for the Work Location criterion would be California, (You need to define this work location using the Locations window). A person must meet this criterion in order to be given the associated allowance.

Eligibility profiles can be used in benefits plans, collective agreements, or both. The information you can enter against a profile differs slightly depending on whether you have accessed this window from the total compensation or collective agreements area of the application.

In addition to the eligibility profiles you define, there is a Default profile that you can select when defining entitlement values. You can use this to define a value to apply to everyone not eligible to receive something more beneficial.

Derived Factors

As part of the criteria for an eligibility profile you can set up derived factors. These are eligibility factors that are calculated by the application and can change over time. See: Derived Factors, Oracle HRMS Compensation and Benefits Management Guide for more information.

Collective Agreement Details

For each collective agreement recognized by your enterprise you can record information such as a name, number, and whether it is active. You can also indicate the parties by whom it has been agreed. You set these parties up using the organization classifications Employer and Bargaining Association.

Collective Agreement Entitlement Values

For each entitlement item to be included in a collective agreement you must select which eligibility profiles to use, and enter the values that employees who satisfy the criteria receive.

For some example setups of entitlements see: Example Entitlement Setups

Evaluation and Application of Collective Agreement Entitlement Values

To indicate which people are covered by the terms of a collective agreement you select the agreement as part of their primary assignment.

Note: You can select collective agreements as part of other assignments, but the evaluate and apply processes only calculate values for the primary assignment.

Once this has been done the application has to calculate what values the employee is eligible for and apply them to their record. How this is done depends on the settings of the following user profiles:

If the HR:Auto Evaluate Entitlements profile is set to Yes, then the values that an employee is entitled to are calculated as soon as the collective agreement is saved to their assignment. If it is set to No then you must run the evaluation process manually from the Collective Agreement Results window.

Note: If the HR:Auto Evaluate Entitlements profile is set to No, then the apply process will not run automatically, even if the HR:Auto Apply Entitlements is set to Yes

If the HR:Auto Apply Entitlements is set to Yes, then the values calculated for a person during the evaluation process are automatically applied to an employee's record. For any entitlements where the employee is entitled to more than one value but the application cannot determine which is most beneficial to the employee, you have to make a choice manually. If it is set to No you have to select and apply all values manually in the Collective Agreement Results window.

There is also a concurrent process called Collective Agreement Entitlement Evaluation that you can run from the Submit Request window to evaluate and apply an employee's entitlement values.

Value Sets for Collective Agreements

As part of the setup of your collective agreement entitlement items you may need to use value sets in order for your entitlement items to perform correctly.

Item Value Sets

If you are creating an entitlement item that populates one of the fields on the assignment included in the table below you need to select the corresponding item value set. This is so that when the entitlement item is selected in the Collective Agreement Entitlements window the values field displays a drop-down list of valid values.

The following table describes the fields on the assignment and the corresponding item value set:

Item Value Sets
Field Value Set
Bargaining Unit CAGR_BARGAINING_UNIT
Employee Category CAGR_EMPLOYEE_CATEGORY
Employment Category CAGR_EMPLOYMENT_CATEGORY
Grade CAGR_GRADES
Job CAGR_JOBS
Organization CAGR_ORGANIZATIONS
Payroll CAGR_PAYROLL
Salary Basis CAGR_SALARY_BASIS

In addition to these a CAGR_YES_NO value set is provided to be used where the valid value for a field is Yes or No, or the field uses a check box, for example Union Member.

You can also use these supplied value sets as examples to set up your own should you need to. For example, if you want to create a value set to write a value to a descriptive flexfield column, you can define a value set that enforces the same validation that is used by the descriptive flexfield.

Beneficial Rule Value Sets

For entitlement items where the most beneficial value cannot be determined from the value itself, but can be determined from some other value associated with it, you can define a value set to enable the application to do this. An example of this would be grades where you can use the sequence number associated with a grade to determine which is most beneficial. This is presuming that you have set up your grades so that the higher the sequence number, the better the grade.

An example value set, CAGR_BR_GRADE has been supplied for you to use as a template for creating your own value sets.

Setups for Collective Agreement Value Sets

In order for the value set to work correctly with the collective agreement, it must conform to the following rules:

Example Entitlement Setups

The following give an example setup for each of the categories supported in Oracle HRMS.

Assignment Category Example

Imagine that the notice period for employees is based on their employee category as shown in the following table:

Assignment Category
Employee Category Notice Period
Default 1 month
Blue Collar 2 months
White Collar 3 months

To represent these collective agreement terms in Oracle HRMS you must complete the following steps:

1. Create an entitlement item called Notice Period and associate it with the Notice Period field.

2. Create two eligibility profiles based on the employment factor of Employee Category. In one select the employee category of Blue Collar and in the other select the employee category of White Collar.

3. Assuming you have already created your collective agreement, select the Notice Period entitlement item in the Collective Agreement Entitlements window and define the values for each of the eligibility profiles. Against White Collar, enter 3, and against Blue Collar, enter 2. Use the Default profile name to define the notice period of one month for all other employees.

Pay Scales Example

Imagine your enterprise uses the salary scale shown in the following table where employees' salary is based on their job and grade:

Pay Scales
Job Grade Point Salary
Manager M1 1.1 40000
Manager M1 1.2 45000
Manager M1 1.3 47500
Manager M2 2.1 50000
Manager M2 2.2 55000
Executive E1 3.1 65000
Executive E1 3.2 75000

To represent these collective agreement terms in Oracle HRMS you must complete the following steps:

1. Define jobs called Manager and Executive.

2. Define the grades M1, M2 and E2

3. Define a pay scale with points 1.1 through to 3.2.

4. Define a scale rate to associate the correct salary value with each point for the pay scale.

5. Define a grade scale to associate each grade to the correct points.

6. Create an entitlement item called Pay Scale and associate it with the Spinal Point field.

7. Create two eligibility profiles based on the employment factor of Job. In one select the job of Manager and in the other select the job of Executive.

8. Assuming you have already created your collective agreement, select the Pay Scale entitlement item in the Collective Agreement Entitlements window.

For each of the rows in the table you define a row in the Pay Scales tab. For the first row you would select the Manager eligibility profile, the grade M1, and the step 1.1.

Payroll Example

Imagine your enterprise uses the hourly rates shown in the following table where employees' rates are based on their grade:

Payroll
Grade Standard Hourly Rate Overtime Hourly Rate
A1 7.50 9.00
A2 8.20 9.90
A3 9.60 11.00

To represent these collective agreement terms in Oracle HRMS you must complete the following steps:

1. Define the grades A1 through to A3

2. Ensure the input values, element links and element entries have been defined for the Basic Salary Rate and Overtime elements.

3. Create two entitlement items, one called Standard Hourly Rate associated with the Basic Salary Rate element, and another called Overtime Hourly Rate associated with the Overtime element.

4. Create three eligibility profiles based on the employment factor of Grade. Select A1 in the first, A2 in the second, and A3 in the third.

5. Assuming you have already created your collective agreement, select the Standard Hourly Rate entitlement item in the Collective Agreement Entitlements window.

For each of the rows in the table you define a row in the values tabbed region. For the first row you would select the A1 Grade eligibility profile and enter the value of 7.50.

6. Select the Overtime Hourly Rate entitlement item in the Collective Agreement Entitlements window.

For each of the rows in the table you define a row in the values tabbed region. For the first row you would select the A1 Grade eligibility profile and enter the value of 9.00.

Setting Up a Collective Agreement

Follow these steps to enter a collective agreement, set up the eligibility criteria for the agreement, and to apply the values defined in the agreement to the eligible employees.

Note: Not all legislations utilise all the collective agreements functionality.

To set up a collective agreement

  1. Define the entitlement items for your agreement.

    See: Defining an Entitlement Item for a Collective Agreement

  2. Define the eligibility profiles to be used with your collective agreement.

    See: Defining an Eligibility Profile

  3. Create organizations to represent the two parties who have negotiated the agreement if required. Use the Employer and Bargaining Association organization classifications.

    See: Entering Organization Classifications

  4. Create the collective agreement.

    See: Entering a Collective Agreement

  5. Define the entitlements for your collective agreement.

    See: Defining Collective Agreement Entitlements

  6. Assign the collective agreement to all employees who are covered by its terms.

    See: Entering an Assignment, Oracle HRMS Workforce Sourcing, Deployment, and Talent Management Guide

  7. Select and apply the entitlement values to be applied to an employee.

    See: Selecting and Applying Collective Agreement Entitlement Values

Defining an Entitlement Item for a Collective Agreement

You create entitlement items using the Entitlement Item Definition window.

To define an entitlement item to generate values to be written to an employee's record:

  1. Enter a name for your entitlement item. This must be unique within the category.

  2. Select the category for your entitlement item. The category you select here determines the values you see in the Field Name field. For example, if you select a category of Assignment, you will only be able to select field names that relate to assignments.

    If you select the Payroll category, then you can select an element name, rather than a field, to associate with the entitlement item.

    Note: The category of Absence does not have any field names associated with it in the current release so therefore does not have any effect on current absence processing.

  3. If you have selected the Payroll category, then you must select the element to which the entitlement item is associated. For example, if this item is to generate values for a person's salary you should select the Regular Salary element.

    If the element has been defined to allow multiple entries, then you must indicate whether the value calculated using this item should be applied to all entries within the pay period or not. If you do not select this check box and there are multiple entries for the element then the collective agreement apply process will error.

    If there are no element entries for an assignment to which the entitlement item applies, then select the Automatically Create Entries check box. This enables the Collective Agreement Entitlement Evaluation process to create the required element entries while processing and applying collective agreement entitlement results.

    Note: You must select the Automatically Create Entries check box while defining new entitlement items as you cannot update this information for existing entitlement items.

    You must also select an input value for the element. Once an element and input value combination has been associated with an entitlement item, it cannot be used again.

  4. If you have selected any other entitlement category then you must select a field name and, if the field you select requires it, a unit of measure. This defines which field in the application will be populated with the value generated by this entitlement item. You can only associate each field with one entitlement item.

    Defining a Beneficial Rule

  5. Select the rule that defines which value is most beneficial for this entitlement item. For example, if the item was Holiday Allowance, then the beneficial rule should be Highest. The application will use this rule when an entitlement item produces multiple valid values for an employee.

    If it is not possible for you to define a beneficial rule or the application cannot determine what is the most beneficial value then you are required to manually select a value if multiple values are returned.

  6. Select an item value set for your entitlement item, if required.

    For information on which entitlement items require item values sets see: Value Sets for Collective Agreements

  7. Select a beneficial value set if your entitlement item requires a value set to determine the most beneficial value.

    For information on setting up value sets for collective agreements see: Value Sets for Collective Agreements

  8. Save your work.

To define an entitlement item to generate values held in the collective agreement results for an employee:

  1. Enter a name for your entitlement item. This must be unique within the category.

  2. Select a beneficial rule and value set if required.

  3. Select a category and unit of measure for your entitlement item.

  4. Save your work.

Defining an Eligibility Profile

You use the Participation Eligibility Profiles window to define an eligibility profile with an effective start date of your choice. Before defining the profile, define any derived factors (such as length of service or compensation level), or your own eligibility criteria, that you plan to use as eligibility criteria.

If you want to create your own criteria to include in the eligibility profile, click User Defined Eligibility Criteria and create new criteria, see: Creating your own Eligibility Criteria., Oracle HRMS Compensation and Benefits Management Guide To access these criteria, choose the Other tabbed region, and select User Defined Criteria from the list

You can use eligibility profiles to determine:

The information you can enter differs slightly depending on whether you have accessed this window from the Total Compensation or Collective Agreements area of the application.

Note: If you use the Total Compensation Setup Wizard to set up grade ladders, programs and plans, and Total Compensation Statements, you can create or update eligibility profiles while you are working in the Wizard.

To define an eligibility profile

  1. Enter the Name of the eligibility profile you are defining.

  2. Enter a Description of this eligibility profile.

  3. Select an Assignment Type to which this eligibility profile applies.

    For example, you can define an eligibility profile for employee assignments if this profile is only used for employees.

    Note: You can only select Employee Assignment Only for profiles to be used with collective agreements.

  4. Select the profile Status.

    Pending: This eligibility profile is currently proposed, but not active.

    Active: This eligibility profile is in use.

    Inactive: This eligibility profile is in use but cannot be associated with any new programs, plans, or options.

    Closed: This eligibility profile was once Active or Pending, but is no longer in use.

  5. Select whether this eligibility profile applies to benefits or collective agreements. If you are defining an eligibility profile for work schedules or grade step progression, then select benefits.

  6. Choose the tabbed region that contains a criteria element that you want to include in your eligibility profile. Choose from:

    • Personal

    • Employment

    • Derived Factors

    • Related Coverages (Not applicable to collective agreements)

    • Other

  7. Select a criteria element.

    For example, you could choose Person Type as one of several eligibility criteria of the Personal type.

    Note: When you define more than one value for a criterion, at least one of the values must be present in the person's record for them to be eligible. However, when you use multiple criteria in an eligibility profile (for example, a Work Location and an Organization), the person must meet at least one value for each criterion.

    If you use a FastFormula eligibility rule as part of your eligibility profile, the participant must meet the criteria of the rule and one value from any other criteria that you include in the eligibility profile. If you use more than one FastFormula rule, by default the participant must meet the criteria of all the rules. If you change the user profile option BEN:Eligible Profile Rule from AND to OR, the participant need only meet the criteria of one rule.

  8. Enter a Seq (sequence) number specifying the order the system processes this criteria element relative to any other criteria in this eligibility profile.

    Note: You must assign a sequence number of a higher priority to all criteria that are used to exclude eligibility.

  9. Select one or more values for the criteria element you have selected.

  10. Check the Exclude field if a person becomes ineligible to participate in the compensation object, or to receive the collective agreement entitlement you associate with this eligibility profile if they meet this criterion.

    You typically check the Exclude field when it is easier or faster to define which persons are excluded from eligibility, as opposed to defining which person are eligible.

  11. If you are defining an eligibility profile for a grade ladder, and you want to rank your employees to determine the most eligible person to progress, enter an eligibility Score for this criteria.

    The application calculates the eligibility rank based on the total score for all criteria that the person satisfies.

  12. For grade ladders, you can also enter an eligibility Weight for a criteria.

    The application multiplies the weight by the criteria value. You can only use weights with criteria that contain numeric values. If you enter a score and a weight for a criteria, the application adds the person's score to the weight to arrive at the final number.

  13. Repeat steps 6 to 12 for each criteria element that you include in your eligibility profile.

  14. Choose the Display All tabbed region to view the criteria elements in this eligibility profile.

  15. Save your work.

Defining Derived Factors: Compensation Level

You can define a compensation level factor as part of an eligibility profile (to be used in determining benefits participation or collective agreement entitlements) or a variable rate profile. A compensation level factor can be based on either stated salary, balance type, or benefits balance type.

You define compensation level factors in the Derived Factors window. The values you can select in some of the fields depend on whether you have accessed the Derived Factors window from the Total Compensation or Collective Agreements area of the application.

To define a compensation level factor:

  1. Enter a Name for this compensation level factor.

  2. Select the Unit Of Measure for this compensation level factor.

  3. Select the Source of the compensation level factor.

    • Select the Defined Balance for this compensation level factor if you selected a source of balance type.

    • Select a Benefits Balance Type if you selected a source of benefits balance type.

    • Select the compensation periodicity in the Stated Comp Periodicity field if you selected a source of stated compensation.

    Note: If you have installed the Oracle Incentive Compensation patch 4409180 you can select either Oracle Incentive Compensation - Amount Earned or Oracle Incentive Compensation - Amount Paid as the source. If you select any of these sources, then the Incentive Compensation Information region displays, where you can enter the Start and End Dates, and select the Prorate if date range differs from OIC range check box

    In the Values block:

  4. Enter the Minimum amount under which the system does not calculate this compensation level factor.

    • Check the No Minimum field if there is no minimum compensation amount under which the system excludes participants when determining participation eligibility and activity rates.

  5. Enter the Maximum amount above which the system does not calculate this compensation level factor.

    • Check the No Maximum Compensation field if there is no maximum compensation amount above which the system excludes participants when determining participation eligibility and activity rates.

  6. Select a Determination Code or Rule to define when the system determines a participant's compensation level.

  7. Choose a Rounding Code or Rounding Rule to specify the level to which the system rounds the results of this compensation level factor.

  8. Save your work.

Defining Derived Factors: Percent of Full Time Employment

A percent full time factor derives an employee's percent of full time employment. The application uses this information to calculate activity rates, coverage amounts, or to determine participation eligibility for either benefits or collective agreement entitlements.

For example, you could define the 100% percent full-time factor to identify those employees who work 100% full-time (40 hours per week) and thus qualify for most benefits or entitlements.

You define percent full time factors in the Derived Factors window. The values you can select in some of the fields depend on whether you have accessed the Derived Factors window from the Total Compensation or Collective Agreements area of the application.

To define a percent full time factor:

  1. Enter a Name for this percent full time factor.

  2. Check the No Minimum field if there is no minimum percentage of full-time employment under which the application excludes employees when determining participation eligibility and activity rates.

    • Or, enter a Minimum Percent Value to define the minimum percentage of full-time employment to be used in this calculation.

  3. Check the No Maximum field if there is no maximum percent of full-time employment beyond which the application excludes employees when determining participation eligibility and activity rates.

    • Or, enter a Maximum Percent Value to define the maximum percent of full-time employment to be used in this calculation.

  4. Check the Use Primary Assignment Only field to specify that the application considers only an employee's primary assignment when determining percent of full time employment.

  5. Check the Use Sum of All Assignments field to specify that the application considers all active assignments when determining percent of full-time employment.

  6. Select a Rounding Code or Rule to specify the level to which the application rounds the results of this calculation.

  7. Save your work.

Defining Derived Factors: Hours Worked In Period

An hours worked in period factor derives the number of hours a given employee has worked over a given period of time. The application uses this information to determine participation eligibility for either benefits or collective agreement entitlements, activity rates, and coverage amounts.

You define hours worked in period factors in the Derived Factors window. The values you can select in some of the fields depend on whether you have accessed the Derived Factors window from the Total Compensation or Collective Agreements area of the application.

To define an hours worked in period factor:

  1. Enter a Name for this hours worked in period factor.

  2. Select the calculation source for this hours worked in period factor in the Source field.

    Balance Type: The application retrieves hours worked information from a balance.

    Benefits Balance Type: The application retrieves hours worked information from a benefits balance.

  3. Specify when the application calculates this hours worked in period factor in the Once or Continuing field.

    Once: The application only calculates this hours worked in period factor following a life event or for open enrollment.

    Continuing: The application calculates this hours worked in period factor each time you run the Participation batch process.

  4. Select the Defined Balance for this compensation level factor if you selected a calculation source of balance type.

  5. Select a Benefits Balance Type if you selected a calculation source of benefits balance type.

  6. Check the No Minimum field if there is no minimum number of hours worked in period under which the application excludes employees when determining participation eligibility and activity rates.

    • Or, enter the Minimum hours worked in period under which the application does not calculate this hours worked in period factor.

  7. Check the No Maximum field if there is no maximum hours worked in period above which the application excludes employees when determining participation eligibility and activity rates.

    • Or, enter the Maximum hours worked in period beyond which the application does not calculate this hours worked in period factor.

  8. Select an hours worked Determination Code or Rule that defines how to calculate the hours worked in period.

  9. Select a Rounding Code or Rule to specify the level to which the application rounds the results of this hours worked in period factor.

  10. Save your work.

Defining Derived Factors: Age

An age factor derives a person's age in order to determine participation eligibility for either benefits or collective agreement entitlements, activity rates, and coverage amounts.

For example, you could define the Retire 65 age factor to identify those employees who are at least 65 years of age and thus qualify for a maximum benefit under your corporation's retirement plan. For collective agreements you could define the Age Less Than 21 age factor to identify those employees who are less than 21 and thus should be placed on a particular grade.

You define age factors in the Derived Factors window. The values you can select in some of the fields depend on whether you have accessed the Derived Factors window from the Total Compensation or Collective Agreements area of the application.

To define an age factor:

  1. Enter a Name for this age factor.

  2. Select the UOM to specify the unit of measure for this age factor.

  3. Select an Age to Use code to indicate the kind of person, such as the participant or the participant's child, for whom you are defining a derived age factor.

    Note: Derived factors to be used with collective agreements can only use the employee's age.

  4. Select an Age Determination Code or Rule to specify the date the application uses to calculate age.

  5. Check the No Minimum Age field if there is no minimum age under which the application excludes employees when determining participation eligibility and activity rates.

    • Or, enter the Minimum age beyond which the application does not calculate this age factor.

  6. Check the No Maximum Age field if there is no maximum age beyond which the application excludes employees when determining participation eligibility and activity rates.

    • Or, enter the Maximum age beyond which the application does not calculate this age factor.

  7. Select a Rounding Code or Rule to specify the level to which the application rounds the results of this age factor calculation.

  8. Save your work.

Defining Derived Factors: Length of Service

A length of service factor derives the length of service for a given worker in order to determine participation eligibility for either benefits or collective agreement entitlements, activity rates, and coverage amounts.

You define length of service factors in the Derived Factors window. The values you can select in some of the fields depend on whether you have accessed the Derived Factors window from the Total Compensation or Collective Agreements area of the application.

To define a length of service factor:

  1. Enter a Name for this length of service factor.

  2. Select the unit of measure in the UOM field by which you are defining the length of service factor.

  3. Select a Determination Code or Rule that defines how the system calculates an employee's length of service.

  4. Check the No Minimum Applies field if there is no minimum length of service under which the system excludes employees when determining participation eligibility and activity rates.

    • Or, enter the Minimum length of service under which the system does not calculate this length of service factor.

  5. Check the No Maximum Applies field if there is no maximum length of service above which the system excludes employees when determining participation eligibility and activity rates.

    • Or, enter the Maximum length of service beyond which the system does not calculate this length of service factor.

  6. Select a length of service Date to Use Code or Rule to specify the date from which the system calculates the employee's length of service.

    Hire Date: The system always uses the employee's hire date as the start date when calculating length of service.

    Adjusted Service Date: The system first uses the employee's adjusted service date if one exists. If there is no adjusted service date, the system uses the employee's hire date.

  7. Check the Use Override Service Date field to indicate that the system should override the person's service date when determining eligibility.

    Note: You enter the Override Service Date for a person in the Participation Overrides window.

  8. Select a Rounding Code or Rule to specify the level to which the system rounds the results of this length of service factor.

  9. Save your work.

Defining Derived Factors: Combination Age and Length of Service

A combination age and length of service factor associates two factors you have already defined: an age factor and a length of service factor.

You define combination age and length of service factors in the Derived Factors window. The values you can select in some of the fields depend on whether you have accessed the Derived Factors window from the Total Compensation or Collective Agreements area of the application.

To define a combination age and length of service factor:

  1. Enter a Name for the combination age and length of service factor you are defining.

  2. Select an Age Factor.

  3. Select a Length of Service Factor.

  4. Enter the Minimum value for the combination of age and length of service that qualifies a person as eligible for the benefit, collective agreement entitlement, or activity rate with which this factor is associated.

  5. Enter the Maximum value for the combination of age and length of service that qualifies a person as eligible for the benefit, collective agreement entitlement, or activity rate with which this factor is associated.

  6. Enter an Order Number to specify the order in which the application processes and displays combined age and length of service records.

  7. Save your work.

Entering a Collective Agreement

Use the Collective Agreements window to enter information about collective agreements used by your enterprise.

To enter a collective agreement:

  1. Enter the name of the collective agreement. This must be unique to allow a collective agreement to be referenced across your business group.

  2. Select a status for the collective agreement. Although you can still apply inactive collective agreements to employees, no values are calculated for it until you set it to Active.

  3. Enter the number of the collective agreement.

  4. Enter the start date of the collective agreement and enter its jurisdiction.

    Note: An end date should only be entered once the collective agreement is no longer applicable to your enterprise. After the end date the collective agreement can no longer be applied to an assignment.

  5. Select the employer and bargaining unit who have negotiated the collective agreement. These are defined using the employer classification and bargaining association classification in the Organization window. Enter the name of the signatory for each party.

  6. Enter the name of the authorizing body and the date on which the collective agreement was authorized.

  7. Save your changes.

What Next?

You can now define the entitlement values for the collective agreement using the entitlement items and eligibility profiles you have created. You do this in the Collective Agreement Entitlements window.

Defining Collective Agreement Entitlements

Use the Collective Agreement Entitlements window to define the values associated with all the entitlement items in your collective agreement. These are the values that employees covered by the terms of the collective agreement receive if they meet the criteria defined by the eligibility profile. Each value is held in an entitlement line.

Note: The Message Level, Range To, Range From, Non-Updateable, From Step, and To Step fields are to be used in future releases and are not currently active.

Example Entitlement Setups

The following give an example setup for each of the categories supported in Oracle HRMS.

Assignment Category Example

Imagine that the notice period for employees is based on their employee category as shown in the following table:

Employee Category Notice Period
Default 1 month
Blue Collar 2 months
White Collar 3 months

To represent these collective agreement terms in Oracle HRMS you must complete the following steps:

  1. Create an entitlement item called Notice Period and associate it with the Notice Period field.

  2. Create two eligibility profiles based on the employment factor of Employee Category. In one select the employee category of Blue Collar and in the other select the employee category of White Collar.

  3. Assuming you have already created your collective agreement, select the Notice Period entitlement item in the Collective Agreement Entitlements window and define the values for each of the eligibility profiles. Against White Collar, enter 3, and against Blue Collar, enter 2. Use the Default profile name to define the notice period of one month for all other employees.

Pay Scales Example

Imagine your enterprise uses the salary scale shown in the following table where employees' salary is based on their job and grade:

Job Grade Point Salary
Manager M1 1.1 40000
Manager M1 1.2 45000
Manager M1 1.3 47500
Manager M2 2.1 50000
Manager M2 2.2 55000
Executive E1 3.1 65000
Executive E1 3.2 75000

To represent these collective agreement terms in Oracle HRMS you must complete the following steps:

  1. Define jobs called Manager and Executive.

  2. Define the grades M1, M2 and E2.

  3. Define a pay scale with points 1.1 through to 3.2.

  4. Define a scale rate to associate the correct salary value with each point for the pay scale.

  5. Define a grade scale to associate each grade to the correct points.

  6. Create an entitlement item called Pay Scale and associate it with the Spinal Point field.

  7. Create two eligibility profiles based on the employment factor of Job. In one select the job of Manager and in the other select the job of Executive.

  8. Assuming you have already created your collective agreement, select the Pay Scale entitlement item in the Collective Agreement Entitlements window.

For each of the rows in the table you define a row in the Pay Scales tab. For the first row you would select the Manager eligibility profile, the grade M1, and the step 1.1.

Payroll Example

Imagine your enterprise uses the hourly rates shown in the following table where employees' rates are based on their grade:

Grade Standard Hourly Rate Overtime Hourly Rate
A1 7.50 9.00
A2 8.20 9.90
A3 9.60 11.00

To represent these collective agreement terms in Oracle HRMS you must complete the following steps:

  1. Define the grades A1 through to A3.

  2. Ensure the input values, element links and element entries have been defined for the Basic Salary Rate and Overtime elements.

  3. Create two entitlement items, one called Standard Hourly Rate associated with the Basic Salary Rate element, and another called Overtime Hourly Rate associated with the Overtime element.

  4. Create three eligibility profiles based on the employment factor of Grade. Select A1 in the first, A2 in the second, and A3 in the third.

  5. Assuming you have already created your collective agreement, select the Standard Hourly Rate entitlement item in the Collective Agreement Entitlements window.

    For each of the rows in the table you define a row in the values tabbed region. For the first row you would select the A1 Grade eligibility profile and enter the value of 7.50.

  6. Select the Overtime Hourly Rate entitlement item in the Collective Agreement Entitlements window.

    For each of the rows in the table you define a row in the values tabbed region. For the first row you would select the A1 Grade eligibility profile and enter the value of 9.00.

To define entitlements for a collective agreement

  1. Select the category for the entitlement you are creating. Only entitlement items with this category can be selected in the Entitlement region.

    Note: If you are defining entitlements for a payroll item type, then check that the following definitions have been entered:

    • The element and its input values

    • The element links

    • The element entries for all eligible employees

  2. Select the entitlement item for which you want to create values. The remaining fields display the entries defined for the entitlement item in the Collective Agreement Entitlement Items window.

  3. If you want to use a formula to calculate the value for this entitlement, then choose the Formula radio button and select the formula. If you want to define criteria to calculate the value, then ensure the Criteria radio button is selected.

Defining Entitlement Lines

  1. Select the eligibility profile for which you want to define a value.

    Note: In addition to the eligibility profiles you have created there is a DEFAULT profile. If you set up a value using this profile, then it is applied to all employees on the collective agreement, unless they are eligible for a more beneficial value.

  2. Select whether this value is active. Inactive lines are ignored when calculating collective agreement values for an employee.

  3. Do one of the following:

    • If you are entering values for a pay scale, then select the grade, and the step to be applied to employees that satisfy the criteria for this line. The pay scale for the grade is displayed automatically. The grade is used in association with the eligibility profile to determine the eligibility for pay scale entitlement items. To be eligible to be placed on the specified step, an employee must satisfy both the eligibility profile and be on the selected grade.

      For example, if your eligibility profile is Age Less than 21, and you have selected grade SE01, then an employee must be less than 21 and be on grade SE01 to be placed on the step defined by this line.

    • Otherwise, enter the value to be applied to employees that satisfy this eligibility profile.

  4. Add further entitlement lines until you have created all the required values for this entitlement, then save your work.

Setting up Collective Agreement Grades

Collective agreement grades enable you to define how an employee is graded or ranked in a collective agreement. A collective agreement grade is defined by a combination of values that you enter using grade factors. A grade factor is a user-defined field that you set up as part of the grade structure in the Collective Agreement Grades (CAGR) key flexfield. The grades that you predefine for a collective agreement are known as reference grades. To set up collective agreement grades:

To setup collective agreement grades:

  1. Set up the Collective Agreement Grades key flexfield to define a grade structure and grade factors.

    See: User-Definable Key Flexfields , Oracle HRMS Configuring, Reporting, and System Administration Guide

    Note: If you are in Italy, do not set up this flexfield. You must use the predefined IT_CAGR flexfield structure.

  2. Enter a collective agreement

  3. Enter collective agreement grades. to link a grade structure to a collective agreement, and to define a set of reference grades.

    What Next?

    You can now define a collective agreement grade for an assignment using the Employment Terms tabbed region on the Assignment form.

    See: Entering Additional Assignment Details, Oracle HRMS Workforce Sourcing, Deployment, and Talent Management Guide

Entering Collective Agreement Grades

You enter collective agreement grades to link a collective agreement to a grade structure and to define a set of reference grades that can be used in that collective agreement.

You enter this information using the Agreement Grades window.

To enter a collective agreement grade:

  1. Query the collective agreement and select the grade structure. The reference grades entered will be recorded against the combination of collective agreement and grade structure selected.

  2. Check the Override Allowed check box if you want to enable users to enter any combination of values for the selected grade structure in the Assignment window. If you leave the check box unchecked users will be forced to select a predefined reference grade.

  3. Insert a sequence number and click the Name field. Enter values for the grade factors that are displayed. Each combination of values represents a reference grade.

  4. Enter as many reference grades as required.

  5. Save your changes.

    You can now use the Assignment window to define the assignment's collective agreement grade.

    See: Entering Additional Assignment Details, Oracle HRMS Workforce Sourcing, Deployment, and Talent Management Guide

Collective Agreement Administration

Collective Agreement Administration

After you set up the collective agreements in your enterprise, you need to evaluate and apply it for your required employees. Oracle HRMS provides you the evaluate and apply processes to enable your employees to receive the entitlements specified in the collective agreement.

To evaluate and apply, you must:

If you set the HR:Auto Evaluate Entitlements profile to Yes, then the application calculates the values that an employee is entitled to as soon as the collective agreement is saved to their assignment. If you set it to No, then you must run the evaluation process manually from the Collective Agreement Results window.

Note: If you set the HR:Auto Evaluate Entitlements profile to No, then the apply process will not run automatically, even if you set the HR:Auto Apply Entitlements to Yes.

If you set the HR:Auto Apply Entitlements to Yes, then the application applies the values calculated for a person during the evaluation process automatically to the employee's record. For any entitlements where the employee is entitled to more than one value but the application cannot determine which is most beneficial to the employee, you have to make a choice manually. If you set it to No, then you have to select and apply all values manually in the Collective Agreement Results window.

There is also a concurrent process called Collective Agreement Entitlement Evaluation that you can run from the Submit Request window to evaluate and apply an employee's entitlement values.

Administering Retained Rights

Oracle HRMS enables an employee to continue to receive a specific entitlement item after an event makes the employee ineligible for the entitlement item. For example, if by changing the role an employee plays in your enterprise, the employee becomes ineligible for an education allowance, you can define it as a retained right if you still want them to receive it. The employee will continue to receive the allowance for the period you define in this window.

Selecting and Applying Collective Agreement Entitlement Values

How you use the Collective Agreement Results window depends on the settings of the profile options associated with collective agreements:

The following procedures describe the behavior of the application following the selection of a collective agreement for the first time.

To select and apply entitlement values for setups A and B:

  1. If your setup corresponds to Setup A, then in the Collective Agreement Results window, choose the Refresh Entitlements button. The Collective Agreement Evaluation process is run and the results are displayed.

    If your setup corresponds to Setup B, then this evaluation will have been done automatically once you saved the collective agreement against the employee.

  2. Choose the View Log button to look at the log file and ensure that the evaluation process has run correctly.

  3. Use the category field to limit the entitlement items displayed in the Name fields by category if required. The results for the selected item are shown in the Entitlement Results region.

  4. Choose which value to apply to the employee for each item by checking the Chosen check box. You must still check the Chosen check box even if only one value is displayed.

    Where no values are displayed for an item then the employee is not eligible for that item.

    Where the application has been able to calculate which of the values for an item is most beneficial to the employee, the Suggested check box is checked to show this. You must still check the Chosen check box for these values in order for them to be applied to the employee.

    Any values that are included because they are retained rights are shown by a check in the Retained check box.

  5. Save your work once you have chosen the value you want to apply to the employee for a particular item.

  6. Repeat steps 3 to 5 until you have chosen values for all the entitlement items for which the employee is eligible.

  7. Choose the Apply button to apply the values to the employee's record.

  8. Choose the View Log button to look at the log and ensure that the values have been applied successfully. Any errors or warnings are shown in the Apply Process Log section.

    Note: Every time you run the Apply process, a new Apply Process Log section is added to the end of the log, so ensure you are looking at the correct section.

  9. Close the Collective Agreement Results window and requery the assignment in the Assignment window. The values applied from the collective agreement are displayed.

To select and apply entitlement values for setup C:

  1. Choose the View Log button in the Collective Agreement Results window to look at the log file and ensure that the evaluation and apply processes have been run correctly.

  2. Do one of the following to identify for which of the entitlement items the application has not been able to determine the most beneficial value for the employee:

    • Look through the log and check that the entry for each entitlement item that satisfies more than one eligibility profile contains the line Beneficial value is: You will have to choose a value manually for each of those that do not.

    • Navigate through the entitlement items in the Name fields. You will need to choose a value manually for each entitlement item that does not have the Suggested check box checked for one of its values.

  3. Choose which value to apply to the employee for each item that has not been processed automatically by checking the Chosen check box. You must still check the Chosen check box even if only one value is displayed.

    Note: If you want to override any of the values the application has applied, then you can still check the Chosen check box for items that have a suggested value.

  4. Once you have chosen all the required values, then choose the Apply button to apply the values to the employee's record.

  5. Choose the View Log button to look at the log and ensure that the values have been applied successfully. Any errors or warnings are shown in the Apply Process Log section.

    Note: Every time you run the Apply process, a new Apply Process Log section is added to the end of the log, so ensure you are looking at the correct section.

  6. Close the Collective Agreement Results window and requery the assignment in the Assignment window. The values applied from the collective agreement are displayed.

What Next?

If you make any changes to a person's employment record that may impact their entitlements, or you make changes to a collective agreement that may impact the entitlements of the employees covered by its terms, you must do one of the following:

Defining Retained Rights

Use the Collective Agreement Retained Rights window to define rights that an employee can still receive, even if they are no longer eligible for them. For example, if by transferring from a location an employee becomes ineligible for a location allowance, you can define it as a retained right if you still want them to receive it. The employee will continue to receive the allowance for the period you define in this window.

To define a retained right

  1. Use the Category and Name fields to select the entitlement item that you want to retain for the employee.

  2. Check the Retained check box for the value you want to retain.

  3. Check the Freeze check box if you want to freeze the value of the entitlement. This means that even if the value of the entitlement item changes in the future due to a change in the collective agreement, the employee will still receive the value as it is now.

    For example, if an employee receives a retained location allowance of $2000 that is frozen, even if the terms of the collective agreement increase the location allowance to $3000, then employee still receives $2000.

  4. Enter the date from which the entitlement item is retained, and if required, enter the date when the item is no longer retained.

  5. Save your work.

Running the Collective Agreement Entitlement Evaluation Process

The Collective Agreement Entitlement Evaluation process enables you to evaluate and apply collective agreement entitlements for an employee using the Submit Request window.

To run the Collective Agreement Entitlement Evaluation process:

  1. Select the Collective Agreement Entitlement Evaluation process in the name field.

  2. Click in the Parameters field to display the Parameters window, if it does not automatically open.

  3. Select the date on which you want to run the process. This defaults to the system date.

  4. Select the process mode. The options are:

    • Evaluate Only: Only the evaluation of possible results is performed.

    • Evaluate and Apply: Evaluate the possible results and apply them to the employee's record.

    • Apply Only: Apply the results already generated by the previous evaluation.

  5. Select the processing level. The options are:

    • Single Assignment: Run the process for a single person.

    • Single Collective Agreement: Run the process for all people on a single collective agreement.

    • Single Entitlement: Run the process for a single entitlement item across all collective agreements.

    • Single Entitlement for Single Assignment: Run the process for a particular entitlement for a single person. You can use this option for employees with multiple entitlements. If there is change to the eligibility of a specific entitlement for which an evaluation is required, then select this option.

  6. Select the validation mode. The options are:

    • No Commit - Database Not Updated: The selected process runs and produces a log file indicating any errors that have occurred but does not save any information on the database. This enables you to run the Apply process without actually applying the results to your employee's record. This means you can correct any problems that may occur prior to amending any values.

    • Commit - Database Updated: The selected process runs and saves the information on the database.

  7. Do one of the following:

    • If you have selected a processing level of Single Assignment, then select the person for whom you want to run the process.

    • If you have selected a processing level of Single Collective Agreement, then select the agreement for which you want to run the process.

    • If you have selected a processing level of Single Entitlement, then select the entitlement item for which you want to run the process.

    • If you have selected a process level of Single Entitlement for Single Assignment, then select the person and the entitlement item for which you want to run the process.

    Any changes that are made as a result of this process are made to the person's primary assignment.

  8. Choose OK to return to the Submit Request window and choose Submit to run the report. You can view the log file generated from the Requests window. Use this file to identify any problems that have occurred during the running of the process.

Occupational Health

Occupational Health: Medical Assessments, Disabilities and Work Incidents

Oracle HRMS enables you to record medical assessments, disability information, and work incidents for the people in your enterprise. It also enables you to link this information together. For example, if a medical assessment is required as the result of a work accident, and that assessment then diagnoses a disability in the person, you could relate these records to one another.

Note: The Medical assessments, disabilities and work incidents functionality may not be used by your localization.

Medical Assessments

The Medical Assessment window enables you to enter information about the medical assessments (consultations) provided to the people in your enterprise. For example, you can record:

A person can have multiple medical assessment records. For example, a person may have a recruitment medical and several annual medicals.

Disabilities

Using the datetracked Disabilities window, you can enter information about a person's disabilities. For example, you can record:

A person can have multiple disability records. Each disability can be linked to one work incident and to one medical assessment that diagnosed (or identified) the condition. Once a disability has been diagnosed and recorded, you can link it to multiple assessments that evaluate the disability.

Work Incidents

Oracle HRMS enables you to record work incidents, for example, accidents, that involve the people in your enterprise. Work incidents are incidents that occur:

Using the Work Incidents window, you can record:

A person can have multiple work incident records.

The graphic illustrates the relationship between the medical assessment, disability and work incident tasks. It shows the full process that you could follow if you wanted to record:

The "Start" boxes show the points at which you can start the process, depending on the task you need to perform.

Reporting Categories and Statuses

Reporting Categories and Statuses

Some reports place no restrictions on the employment category or assignment status of the employees to be included. However, other reports, such as VETS-4212 and ADA, must include only non-temporary, full-time or part-time employees with a non-terminated assignment status.

To identify these employees, you register for the business group as Reporting Categories those employment categories that include non-temporary, full-time or part-time employees. You register as Reporting Statuses those assignment statuses that include non-terminated employees.

Registration of Reporting Categories and Statuses

You must limit the coverage of VETS-4212 and ADA reports to employees who work either full or part time but are not temporary workers, and who have a non-terminated employment status as of the end date of the reporting period.

To establish the employment categories and assignment statuses of the employees that VETS-4212 and ADA reporting must cover, you register Reporting Categories and Reporting Statuses for the Business Group:

Start the registration of Reporting Categories and Statuses from the Organization window.

Registering Reporting Categories

Reporting Categories are employment categories that cover non-temporary, full-time, or part-time work. The categories you select here control which employees appear in the EEO-1 and VETS-4212 reports.

To register reporting categories for the Business Group

  1. In the Organization window, query the Business Group if it does not already appear there. With the cursor on Business Group in the Organization Classification region, choose the Others button. Select Reporting Categories.

  2. Click in the first blank field in the Additional Information window to open the Reporting Categories window. Select an employment category to register employees who are non-temporary, full time or part time workers. Choose OK to transfer your selection to the Additional Information window.

  3. To register another employment category, repeat step one.

  4. When you finish registering categories, save your work. Choose OK to close the Reporting Categories window and the Additional Information window.

Registering Reporting Statuses

Reporting Statuses are those assignment statuses that cover non-terminated statuses. The statuses you select here control which employees appear in the EEO-1 and VETS-4212 reports.

To register reporting statuses for the Business Group

  1. In the Organization window, query the Business Group if it does not already appear there. With the cursor on Business Group in the Organization Classification region, choose the Others button. Select Reporting Statuses.

  2. Click in the first blank field in the Additional Information window to open the Reporting Statuses window. Register a status that covers employees at a non-terminated status. Choose OK to transfer your selection to the Additional Information window.

  3. To register another assignment status, repeat step one.

  4. When you finish registering statuses, save your work. Choose OK to close the Reporting Statuses window and the Additional Information window.

ADA, AAP, and OSHA Reporting Setup

Reporting Organizations

You often must issue separate reporting for each GRE in your Business Group. Sometimes you must further break down data for a GRE by the establishments (hiring locations, units, or work sites) where its employees are based. A GRE can include employees working in several different establishments, and conversely, a given establishment can include employees in several different GREs.

For reporting purposes, an establishment may be a single physical location, a complex of work sites in a locality, or even all the sites included in a relatively large geographic area. For OSHA reporting, there may be two or more separate establishments at one physical work location if distinctly different types of operations are carried out at the location. To represent establishments for reporting, you give organizations the classification Reporting Establishment.

A GRE whose employees all work at the same establishment is simultaneously a GRE and a Reporting Establishment. For GREs with employees at different establishments you define a number of separate Reporting Establishments. To identify the establishment serving as the headquarters organization, you give a Reporting Establishment the additional classification of Corporate Headquarters.

AAP reporting requires breakdowns of employees by the affirmative action plans covering them, instead of breakdowns by establishment. To meet this requirement, you give organizations the classification AAP Organization, to represent individual affirmative action plans.

Establishment Hierarchies

To determine for reporting purposes which employees belong to a particular GRE and reporting organization, you construct establishment hierarchies, and supply them as parameters to the processes that produce particular reports.

A typical establishment hierarchy has a GRE at the top, Reporting Establishments at the next level, and HR Organizations subordinate to the Reporting Establishments. Report processes normally count employees as belonging to the Reporting Establishment to which their HR Organizations are subordinate in an establishment hierarchy.

Example Establishment Hierarchy

the picture is described in the document text

Looking at the example establishment hierarchy above, a report process with this hierarchy as a parameter counts the employees in the HR Organizations subordinate to the Thurbco Mfg. Reporting Establishment as based at that establishment, and those in HR Organizations subordinate to Thurbco Denver as based at that establishment.

Establishment Overrides

Report processes using establishment hierarchies can take exceptional cases into account. You can enter an override Reporting Establishment for any employee. When a process finds an override, it counts the employee as part of the override Reporting Establishment.

For example, if reports should include an employee in the count for Thurbco Denver, even though he is currently assigned to an organization subordinate to Thurbco Mfg, you simply enter Thurbco Denver as his override establishment.

Note: The establishment override functionality does not apply to AAP reporting. This is because the fundamental units of AAP reporting are affirmative action plans, not Reporting Establishments.

Varieties of Establishment Hierarchies

For most government-mandated HR reporting, you set up for a given GRE either a single-establishment hierarchy, or multiple-establishment hierarchies. If you have multiple establishments, you may also need a headquarters hierarchy for the establishment representing your enterprise headquarters.

The same basic rule applies to all the establishment hierarchies you build (but not to the AAP hierarchies used for AAP reporting). This rule is:

In a non-AAP establishment hierarchy, an organization classified as a Reporting Establishment can never be subordinate to another organization classified as a Reporting Establishment.

This means that in an establishment hierarchy, a GRE/Reporting Establishment can be the top organization, or Reporting Establishments can be subordinate to a GRE (and optionally to HR Organizations). But a Reporting Establishment cannot be subordinate to another Reporting Establishment.

AAP Establishment Hierarchies

Establishment hierarchies constructed for AAP reporting are exceptional because this reporting is based on the affirmative action plans existing within a GRE. This means that in AAP establishment hierarchies:

The Single-Establishment Hierarchy

In some cases, all the employees of a Business Group/GRE or a GRE work at, or from, a single establishment, and you use a single-establishment hierarchy as a parameter for production of an establishment report:

Example Single Establishment Hierarchy

the picture is described in the document text

The top organization of this type of hierarchy can be either a Business Group/GRE or a GRE, but must also be classified as a Reporting Establishment.

Multi-Establishment Hierarchies

For complex enterprises with multiple GREs and Reporting Establishments, you build multi-establishment hierarchies. For certain types of reporting you also require a special headquarters hierarchy, to cover the employees working in the Reporting Establishment that constitutes the enterprise headquarters. This section discusses multi-establishment hierarchies; the one following discusses headquarters hierarchies.

The top organization in a multi-establishment hierarchy can be either a Business Group/GRE or a GRE.

Note: For reporting that requires a separate report on your headquarters establishment, the top organization of a multi-establishment hierarchy must not be the headquarters organization. A headquarters organization always belongs in a special headquarters hierarchy.

An already existing organization classed as a GRE may be suitable for use as the top organization of a multi-establishment hierarchy. Alternatively, you can create a GRE for reporting purpose only, with a name similar to that of an operational GRE, and the same IRS identification number as the operational GRE.

Counting Establishment Employees

A report process can count of the number of employees in a particular Reporting Establishment, and alter its treatment of the establishment depending on the results of this count. For example, EEO-1 and VETS-4212 reporting for establishments with fewer than 50 employees is different from that for larger establishments.

Looking at the example hierarchy above for MS Distributors, report processes with this hierarchy as a parameter are able to determine that the MS Distributors Detroit Reporting Establishment has fewer than 50 employees, and to produce the appropriate reporting for this establishment.

Preparing for Government-Mandated HR Reporting

In preparation for running the VETS-4212 and ADA reports, you must register Reporting Categories and Reporting Statuses for the Business Group.

In preparation for all government-mandated HR reporting, you must set up one or more types of reporting organizations. These include:

After setting up the reporting organizations you need, you can build establishment hierarchies and AAP establishment hierarchies that include these reporting organizations.

Before running EEO-1, VETS-4212, ADA, or OSHA reports, you enter establishment overrides for individual employees as necessary.

Setting Up Reporting Organizations

A reporting organization is an organization that has, in addition to any other classifications, one or more of these classifications:

Before defining reporting organizations, determine the establishment hierarchies your enterprise needs for government-mandated HR reporting. This will in turn determine the particular reporting organizations you must set up.

See: Varieties of Establishment Hierarchies

Reporting organizations that do not have the classification Corporate Headquarters may be subordinate to other organizations in establishment hierarchies. You can quickly place a subordinate reporting organization in a hierarchy by entering its parent organization as additional information for its classification.

Note: When a reporting organization is the top organization in an establishment hierarchy, you always place it in the hierarchy when creating the hierarchy in the Organization Hierarchy window.

Example Multi-Establishment Hierarchies

Example Multi-Establishment Hierarchies

For examples of multi-establishment hierarchies, we can look at the hypothetical corporation Swanson Inc. Its Business Group includes two GREs, the parent company Swanson Inc. and a subsidiary, MS Distributors Detroit. The enterprise employs workers at four separate establishments:

This table summarizes the distribution of the 4,000 employees of Swanson Inc., by GRE and Reporting Establishment:

Swanson Inc. Employee Distribution
Reporting Establishment Swanson Inc. GRE MS Distributors Detroit GRE
Swanson Inc. Headquarters 500  
Swanson Mfg. 1,500  
MS Distributors Detroit   955
Swanson Dayton 1,000 45

For reporting purposes, this enterprise needs two multi-establishment hierarchies, and requires a headquarters hierarchy. The multi-establishment hierarchies required are these:

the picture is described in the document text

When you run a report giving one of these hierarchies as a parameter, the report process includes as belonging in a particular Reporting Establishment, any employees assigned to that establishment, plus all the employees assigned to the HR Organizations subordinate to that establishment. The only employees in these organizations that are not covered are any that have establishment overrides entered for the other Reporting Establishment in the hierarchy.

Setting Up ADA, APP, and OSHA Reporting

Setup Steps for AAP Reporting

Because AAP reports cover individual affirmative action plans rather than establishments, the Reporting Establishment override functionality available for EEO-1 and VETS-4212 reporting does not apply to AAP reporting.

To set up AAP reporting

  1. Ensure that each employee has an gender and ethnic origin on record, and has an assignment to a GRE and a job.

  2. Determine salary codes for your jobs by selecting a grade to represent each salary code. If necessary, define grades to use as salary codes.

    See: Defining Grades, Oracle HRMS Compensation and Benefits Management Guide

  3. Define lines of progression for the jobs your affirmative action plans cover.

    See: Defining Lines of Progression for Jobs

  4. Determine the job groups that the jobs in your affirmative action plans belong to, and enter the job group names for the QuickCode type US_JOB_GROUPS.

    A job group consists of jobs with similar levels of responsibility, compensation, and opportunities for advancement.

    See:

    Adding QuickCode Values, Oracle HRMS Configuring, Reporting, and System Administration Guide

  5. Associate each job your affirmative action plans cover with an EEO category, if they are not already so associated. Also associate these jobs with a salary code, line of progression, and job group.

    See:

    Associating Jobs with EEO Job Categories

    Associating Jobs with AAP Reporting Information

  6. Define an AAP Organization to represent each of your affirmative action plans.

    See: Setting Up AAP Organizations

  7. Determine the AAP hierarchies you require, and build them.

    See:

    AAP Hierarchies

    Setting Up Establishment Hierarchies

  8. Run the AAP report processes.

    See: Obtaining AAP Reports

Setup Steps for ADA Reporting

To set up ADA reporting

  1. Ensure that Reporting Categories and Statuses are registered for your Business Group.

    See: Registering Reporting Categories and Statuses

  2. Ensure that registration of employees as disabled, and that entry of information about disability types and requests for disability accommodation, is complete. Registration of someone as disabled is accomplished by checking the Disabled box when you enter personal information about him or her.

    See:

    Entering a New Person (step 9), Oracle HRMS Workforce Sourcing, Deployment, and Talent Management Guide

    Entering Information about Disabilities

    Entering Requests for Disability Accommodation

  3. Ensure that each employee who is registered as disabled, who has provided information about a disability type, or who has requested a disability accommodation has an assignment to a GRE, a job or position, and an employment category.

    See:

    Entering a New Assignment, Oracle HRMS Workforce Sourcing, Deployment, and Talent Management Guide

  4. Identify the establishments within each GRE that you need for ADA reporting, and ensure that they are defined as Reporting Establishments.

    See: Setting Up Reporting Establishments

  5. Determine and build, if necessary, the establishment hierarchies you need to obtain ADA reporting.

    See: Setting Up Establishment Hierarchies

  6. To include information about essential job or position requirements in ADA reporting, ensure that you have entered these requirements for your jobs or positions.

    See: Entering Job and Position Skill Requirements

  7. Manually enter any necessary establishment overrides for employees.

    See: Entering Establishment Overrides

  8. Run the ADA report process.

Setup Steps for OSHA Reporting

To set up OSHA reporting

  1. Ensure that entry of information on each incident of work-related injury or illness is complete.

    See: Entering Information about Work-Related Injury or Illness

  2. Identify the establishments within each GRE that you need for OSHA reporting, and ensure that they are defined as Reporting Establishments.

    See: OSHA Data and Reporting and Setting Up Reporting Establishments

  3. Determine and build, if necessary, the establishment hierarchies you need to obtain OSHA reporting.

    See: Setting Up Establishment Hierarchies

  4. Manually enter any necessary establishment overrides for employees.

    See: Entering Establishment Overrides

  5. Run the OSHA report processes.

    See: Obtaining OSHA Reports

Define Reporting Establishments to Represent Corporate Headquarters

When using multi-establishment hierarchies for reporting purposes, you may need to identify a particular Reporting Establishment as the headquarters establishment of your enterprise. To do this you set up a Corporate Headquarters organization, for use as the top organization in a headquarters hierarchy.

You normally classify only one reporting organization within a Business Group as the Corporate Headquarters organization.

Note: An organization classified as a Corporate Headquarters should also have the classifications GRE and Reporting Establishment. It can have other classifications as well.

See: The Headquarters Hierarchy

To define a corporate headquarters

  1. Using the Organization window, query the organization to be classified as a corporate headquarters, if it does not already appear there.

    Note: This organization always has other classifications as well, for which entry of additional information is necessary

    See: Creating an Organization

  2. In the Organization Classifications region, select the classification Corporate Headquarters for the organization and enable it.

    There is no additional information to add for the Corporate Headquarters classification. The Corporate Headquarters organization is always at the top of a headquarters hierarchy, so you place it in this hierarchy when defining the hierarchy.

    See: Setting Up Establishment Hierarchies

Entering OSHA Specific Parent Entity Data for Electronic Reports

Use the OSHA Specific Details window to enter data for the organization that you have identified as the parent entity. These details are required to generate the Electronic OSHA 300A Summary Worksheet Report in CSV format for electronic filing. See Running OSHA Electronic Reports for more information.

To enter OSHA specific parent entity data:

  1. In the Organization window, search for the organization.

  2. In the Organization Classifications region, select Parent Entity, choose Others, and select OSHA Specific Details.

  3. Click in the Additional Information window to display the OSHA Specific Details window. The following fields are available in this EIT:

    • Annual Average Employees: Enter the annual average number of employees. This value must be:

      • Above zero

      • A number

      • Below 25,000

    • Size: Enter the size of the establishment based on the maximum number of employees who worked there at any point in the year for which you are submitting data:

      • Enter 1 if the establishment has more than 20 employees

      • Enter 2 if the establishment has between 20 to 249 employees

      • Enter 3 if the establishment has 250+ employees

    • Total Hours Worked: Enter the total hours worked by all employees in the last year (reporting period). This value must be:

      • Above zero

      • A number

      • Below 8760 (total_hours_worked divided by annual_average_employees)

      • Above 500 (total_hours_worked divided by annual_average_employees)

    Note that you must manually populate this EIT information before submitting the Electronic OSHA 300A Summary Worksheet Report concurrent process. This EIT can also be set for the parent entity of an organization. See Entering OSHA Specific Parent Entity Data for Electronic Reports for more information. The values set for the location always take precedence over the values set at the parent entity level. If the location level EIT is not set up, then the process will look at the parent entity setup.

  4. Save your work.

Setup Steps for Electronic OSHA Reports

Complete the following setup steps to generate the magnetic (electronic) output file in CSV format for OSHA electronic filing. See OSHA Data for information about the electronic reports.

To set up electronic OSHA reporting

  1. Ensure that entry of information on each incident of work-related injury or illness is complete.

    See: Entering Information about Work-Related Injury or Illness

  2. Identify the establishments within each GRE that you need for OSHA reporting, and ensure that they are defined as Reporting Establishments.

    See: OSHA Data and Reporting and Setting Up Reporting Establishments

  3. Determine and build, if necessary, the establishment hierarchies you need to obtain OSHA reporting.

    See: Setting Up Establishment Hierarchies

  4. Manually enter any necessary establishment overrides for employees.

    See: Entering Establishment Overrides

  5. If your enterprise uses the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), then enter the NAICS number in the EEO1/VETS Establishment Data window. See Entering EEO-1/VETS Establishment Data for Parent Entities for more information.

  6. Manually enter OSHA specific details for an organization either at the location level or at the parent entity level. The values set for the location always take precedence over the values set at the parent entity level. If the location level details are not set up, then the process will look at the parent entity setup.

    See Location Extra Information Types and Entering OSHA Specific Parent Entity Data for Electronic Reports

  7. Generate electronic OSHA reports. See Running OSHA Electronic Reports for more information.

Set Up Establishment Hierarchies

Establishment hierarchies include:

Single-Establishment Hierarchies

To create a single-establishment hierarchy

  1. Determine the top organization of the hierarchy. It must be a GRE and a Reporting Establishment. It may be a Business Group/GRE.

  2. Build the hierarchy by placing all the HR Organizations in the Business Group/GRE or GRE at the second and lower levels under the top organization.

Multi-Establishment Hierarchies

To create a multi-establishment hierarchy

  1. Determine the top organization of the hierarchy. It can be a Business Group/GRE or a GRE. It cannot be a Reporting Establishment or an HR Organization, and should not have the classification Corporate Headquarters.

  2. Build the hierarchy by placing the appropriate establishments and the HR Organizations subordinate to the establishments at lower levels.

Headquarters Hierarchies

To create a headquarters hierarchy

  1. The top organization is that classified as Corporate Headquarters. It must also have the classifications GRE and Reporting Establishment.

  2. Build the hierarchy by placing all the HR Organizations in the headquarters organization at the second and lower levels under the top organization.

Placing Subordinate Reporting Organizations in Hierarchies

Reporting organizations with the classification Reporting Establishment and/or AAP Organization may exist in subordinate positions in establishment hierarchies. There is a convenient way to place these organizations in hierarchies when you set them up. You can name the hierarchies and parent organizations of the reporting organization in the Parent Organization window, accessible from the Organization window.

See: Setting Up Establishment Hierarchies

To put a reporting organization in a hierarchy

  1. In the Organization window, query the reporting organization if it does not already appear there. Select Reporting Establishment or AAP Organization in the Organization Classifications region, choose the Others button, and select Parent Organization to open the Parent Organization window.

  2. Select the hierarchy name.

  3. Select the name of the parent organization to which the reporting organization is subordinate in this hierarchy.

  4. To place the reporting organization in another hierarchy, repeat steps 2 and 3.

  5. Save your work.

Enter Establishment Overrides

Use establishment overrides when employees who would normally be counted in one Reporting Establishment, should actually be counted as belonging to another in the same establishment hierarchy. Report processes with establishment hierarchies as parameters check whether Reporting Establishment overrides exist for the employees the hierarchies cover. If it finds overrides, it counts the employees as belonging to the override Reporting Establishments.

Note: Because the basic unit of AAP reporting within a GRE is its affirmative action plans (AAP Organizations), not its Reporting Establishments, you cannot enter establishment overrides for AAP reporting.

To enter an establishment override for an employee

  1. Select the override establishment in the Establishment field.

Define Lines of Progression for Jobs

To define a line of progression for a series of jobs, you build entities called career paths in Oracle HRMS. Career paths are also useful for Building a line of progression, or career path, involves these two steps:

A job can appear only once in any line of progression.

To define lines of progression

  1. In the Career Path Names window, enter and save the names of the lines of progression you have determined for your enterprise.

  2. Open the Map Career Path window. In the Name field, select the top job in a line of progression.

  3. In the Career Path Name field, select the name of this line of progression.

  4. In the Job Progression From block, select the job that is one level down from the job appearing in the Name field. Check the Down box. The window redisplays with the selected job now appearing in the Name field.

  5. Repeat Step 4 until you have entered all the jobs in the line of progression.

    To move back up the line of jobs, check the Up box.

  6. Save your work.

EEO, VETS, and IPEDS Reporting Setup

Establishment Hierarchies

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) defines an establishment as an economic unit, such as a factory, office, store, or mine, that produces goods or services. Typically, the establishment is at a single physical location and is engaged in predominantly one type of economic activity. For many EEO-related reports, you must organize employment data by establishment.

In Oracle HRMS, an establishment is a location, and you record establishment information in location EITs. For example, in the location EIT "EEO-1 Specific Data," you record the EEO-1 reporting name and unit number of the establishment. Using the Oracle HRMS generic hierarchies functionality, you can define a hierarchy of one or more establishments to represent your enterprise for reporting purposes. The establishment hierarchy is especially useful when you need to run reports for multiple establishments, as a single request can produce reports for multiple establishments. The establishment hierarchy you define is reusable: you can run various government-mandated reports, such as the EO Survey report, the EEO-1 reports, and the VETS-4212 reports for the same establishment hierarchy.

Components of the Establishment Hierarchy

In the Maintain Hierarchy Content page, you enter a name for your establishment hierarchy, and select the hierarchy type "VETS, EEO, AAP, OSHA, Multi Work Sites." For this hierarchy type, you select an organization with the classification parent entity as the top node in the hierarchy. You record some of the data required by U.S. government reports against the organization that is the parent entity. For example, you specify default data for establishments in the hierarchy in the EEO-1/VETS Establishment Data record of the parent entity.

To define your establishment hierarchy, you identify child nodes of the parent entity node. Immediate child nodes of the parent entity are establishment nodes. If all employees in your enterprise work from a single establishment, you define an establishment hierarchy with one parent entity and one establishment node. Alternatively, if your employees work from multiple establishments, you define multiple establishment nodes as child nodes of the parent entity. In a multi-establishment hierarchy, you identify one of the establishments as the headquarters establishment by updating the location EIT "EEO-1/VETS Generic Data."

If any establishment in your hierarchy comprises more than one location, you define location nodes as child nodes of the establishment node. For example, you may group multiple small locations under a single establishment in your enterprise. When you run a report for the hierarchy, information from the locations (such as employee assignments associated with the location) appears in the establishment report. However, this third level of nodes (the location level) is not usually required.

Single-Establishment Hierarchy

the picture is described in the document text

This figure shows an establishment hierarchy comprising a parent entity with one establishment node. This establishment has three subsidiary locations that are included in reports for the establishment.

Multi-Establishment Hierarchy

the picture is described in the document text

This figure shows an establishment hierarchy comprising a parent entity with two establishment nodes, one of which has been identified as the headquarters establishment. Both establishments have subsidiary locations.

This hierarchy of node types, where location is a child node of the establishment node, and the establishment node is a child node of the parent entity, is enforced by the hierarchy type "Vets, EEO, AAP, OSHA, Multi Work Sites."

In most cases, there is a one-to-one relationship between an establishment and a location. In some cases, there are many locations to one establishment. You can also associate a single location with multiple establishments. If different subsidiary companies of your enterprise (for example, a sales company and a maintenance company) that you want to report on separately are based at the same physical location, you can create multiple location records with identical address data but different establishment information in the location EITs. You include these establishments in the hierarchy in the usual way so that they appear as separate establishment nodes in the establishment hierarchy.

Data for EEO Reporting

For EEO and EO Survey reporting, you must maintain specific personal and job-related information for employees.

Employee Gender and Ethnic Origin

For EEO and EO Survey reporting, you must record both the gender and the ethnic origin of your employees.

The ethnic origin categories for the EO Survey Report are:

The ethnic origin categories for EEO reporting are:

When you select an employee's ethnic origin, Oracle HRMS displays the seven ethnic origin categories required by the EO Survey Report. Oracle HRMS automatically consolidates employee ethnic origin values into the five categories required for EEO reporting.

Note: The EEOC mandated all the ethnicity codes, but some agencies do not recognize all codes. When you select Two or More Races, you must fill out an additional ethnic category in the extra information type Additional Ethnic Category on the Person window. This allows you to report Two or More Races to the EEOC, and a lower level category to other agencies if needed.

EEO-1 Job Categories

To be included in EEO and EO Survey reports, employees must have assignments to jobs, and each job must be associated with an EEO-1 job category.

The following are the current EEO-1 Job Categories:

First/Mid Level Officials and Managers
Executive/Senior Level Officials and Managers
Professionals
Technicians
Sales Workers
Administrative Support Workers
Craft Workers
Operatives
Laborers and Helpers
Service Workers

Employment Categories and Assignment Statuses

Each employee to be included in an EEO-1 (or VETS-4212) report must have an employment category and assignment status that match those defined as reporting categories and statuses.

This requirement does not apply for the EO Survey Report.

Additional Requirements for EO Survey Reporting

For an employee to be included in the EO Survey Report, you must ensure that:

Additional Requirements for EEO-4 and EEO-5 Reporting

For an employee to be included in EEO-4 and EEO-5 reports, you must ensure that:

Setting Up EEO, VETS, and IPEDS Reporting

Entering EEO-1/VETS Establishment Data for Parent Entities

Oracle HRMS uses EEO-1 and VETS establishment data in the production of EEO, EO Survey, and VETS-4212 reports. You specify default data for establishments beneath the parent entity in an establishment hierarchy in the EEO1/VETS Establishment Data window. This approach enables you to enter data that is common to your establishments once only, rather than entering it for each establishment individually. You can still override these default values at the location level.

To enter EEO-1 and VETS establishment data

  1. Enter the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) number and, if your enterprise uses the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), enter the NAICS number.

  2. Select a Government Reporting Entity (GRE).

  3. Enter the Dun and Bradstreet (DUNS) number, if appropriate.

  4. In the Government Contractor field, select Yes if most or all establishments in the hierarchy are government contractors. The EEOC defines an establishment as a government contractor if it is a prime government contractor or first-tier subcontractor and has a contract, subcontract, or purchase order for more than $50,000, or if it is a depository of government funds.

  5. Indicate whether the establishments employ apprentices.

  6. In the Main Activities fields, enter brief descriptions of the major business activities of the establishments in the hierarchy, as advised by your EEOC office.

  7. Choose OK.

  4. Associate each job in your enterprise with an EEO job category.

    See: Associating Jobs with EEO Job Categories

  5. Ensure that each employee has:

    • Their gender and ethnic origin on record

    • A job linked to an EEO-1 job category

    • A location in the establishment hierarchy

    • An assignment status that matches a reporting status

    • An employment category that matches a reporting category

    See: Data for EEO Reporting

  6. Define an organization with the classification of parent entity to represent the parent company in the establishment hierarchy.

    See: Creating an Organization and Entering Organization Classifications

  7. Enter EEO-1 parent entity data for the organization you have identified as the parent entity.

    See: Entering EEO-1 Parent Entity Data

  8. Enter default establishment data for the establishments in the hierarchy.

    See: Entering EEO-1 and VETS Establishment Data for Parent Entities

  9. For each location to be identified as an establishment in the hierarchy, enter EEO-1 specific data.

  10. If your enterprise requires a headquarters report, identify one of the establishments in the hierarchy as the headquarters establishment.

    See: Location Extra Information Types

  11. Define your establishment hierarchy.

    See: Establishment Hierarchies

  12. Run the EEO-1 reports for your enterprise.

    See: Running the EEO-1 Reports

Setting Up EEO-1 Component 2 Compensation Data Reporting

See Running the EEO-1 Component 2 Compensation Data Report for more information.

Complete the following steps to set up EEO-1 Component 2 Compensation Data reporting.

  1. In the NORC User ID field of the EEO1 Parent Entity Data window, for each organization, enter the user ID furnished by NORC. See Entering EEO-1 Parent Entity Data for more information.

  2. Populate the Establishment Not Exempt or Prime Contractor field for the applicable locations using the EEO1 Specific Data location extra information. This field stores the answer to Question D2 which is required to be reported in the 14th column in the Upload Data file. See Location Extra Information Types for more information.

  3. Populate the "EEO-1 Component 2 Compensation Data" person extra information type (EIT) if you are a US HR only customer.

    This step must be performed if you are a US HR only customer, that is, you do not use Oracle EBS US Payroll but instead use a third-party product to process your payroll. This means the payroll component data required for the Component 2 EEO -1 Upload File does not reside within the EBS HRMS application. To populate the required payroll data, use the "EEO-1 Component 2 Compensation Data" person extra information type (EIT). Any employees who are missing this data in the Person EIT will not be included in the report output or the report counts, and instead will be reported as exceptions in a separate exception report output file. This EIT stores the W-2 Box 1 earnings and total hours worked for each employee for each reporting year. This information is necessary to report the correct data into the 'AnnualSalary' and 'TotalHours' columns of the Component 2 EEO -1 Upload File. See Running the EEO-1 Component 2 Compensation Data Report for information about the output files.

    This EIT contains the following fields and enables you to enter multiple records, one for each reporting year.

    • Reporting Year

    • Total Hours Worked

    • W-2 Box 1 Earnings

    To populate the EIT for employees:

    • You can manually populate the EIT fields for an employee using the Extra Person Information window.

    • For higher volumes of employee data that need to be populated, the total hours and W-2 Box 1 earnings data must be collected from the third-party payroll system into a spreadsheet. That data can then be loaded into the Oracle E-Business Suite HRMS database using one of the two methods:

      • Creating a custom WEB ADI upload integrator

      • Running a PL/SQL script to call the HR API hr_person_extra_info_api.create_person_extra_info

      For information about loading data, refer to the My Oracle Support document note ID 2584353.1, Oracle E-Business Suite US HRMS: EEO-1 Component 2 Compensation Data Report - A Functional Overview for Release 12.1 and 12.2 Customer.

    Information for US Payroll customers:

    It is not necessary to populate the Person EIT details. This is because the report will derive the W-2 Box 1 Earnings and Hours Worked from the employee's Year End Preprocess archived data (A_WAGES and A_REGULAR_HOURS_WORKED archived items respectively). However, if the EIT details are populated, these values will be used for reporting instead of the employee's archived data.

    • If A_WAGES, that is, the employee's archived W-2 Box 1 wages from the Year End Preprocess archived data is not available or is zero, then the employee will not be included in the report counts and will be reported as an exception in a separate exception output file.

    • If A_REGULAR_HOURS_WORKED, that is, the employee's archived hours worked value from the Year End Preprocess archived data is not available or is zero, the Employee Hours Worked will be reported as 40 hours per week for Full Time Regular Employees and 20 hours per week for Part Time Regular Employees.

      The following formula function is used by the report:

      IF Employee_FullTime_Regular THEN
      Hours_Worked = (Days_Between Employee_Start_Date/Reporting_Year_Start_Date and Employee_Termination_Date/Reporting_Year_End_Date) / 7 * 40
      ELSIF Employee_PartTime_Regular THEN
      Hours_Worked = (Days_Between Employee_Start_Date/Reporting_Year_Start_Date and Employee_Termination_Date/Reporting_Year_End_Date) / 7 * 20
      

Setting Up EO Survey Reporting

This process identifies tasks you perform to set up and run your EO Survey Report. You may have performed some of these tasks already for other mandatory reports, such as the EEO or IPEDS reports.

  1. Define an organization with the classification Parent Entity to represent the parent organization in the establishment hierarchy. The organization must also have the classifications Business Group and GRE / Legal Entity.

    See: Creating an Organization

    See: Entering Organization Classifications

  2. Enter EEO-1 parent entity data for the organization you have identified as the parent entity. This step establishes the reporting name that appears in your EO Survey Report.

    See: Entering EEO-1 Parent Entity Data

EEO and IPEDS Reporting

Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO-1) Reporting

Most private employers in the U.S. must provide EEO-1 reports to the Joint Reporting Committee in accordance with the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended by the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972.

Under Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) rules, an establishment for EEO reporting is an economic unit, such as an office, factory, store, or mine, that produces goods or services at a single physical location. Establishments are permanent locations from which you supervise employees or from where they operate.

The EEO-1 reports you must submit to the EEOC depend on whether you are a single-establishment or multi-establishment employer.

EEO-1 Suite of Reports

You can run the whole suite of EEO-1 reports at one time, or you can run individual reports. Oracle recommends that you run the whole suite of EEO-1 reports because the application automatically creates the appropriate single-establishment or multi-establishment reports for you from the hierarchy structure you identify.

For single-establishment employers, the application generates an EEO Individual Establishment Report.

For multi-establishment employers, the application generates the following reports:

You can submit EEO-1 reports formatted for magnetic media or as computer printouts, provided they conform exactly to EEOC formatting standards. If you are a multi-establishment employer who submits EEO-1 reports as computer printouts, you must submit the EEO Consolidated Report on Standard Form 100. This requirement does not apply if you submit EEO-1 reports formatted for magnetic media.

EEO-1 Exception Report

The EEO-1 Exception Report reports on:

Oracle HRMS produces the EEO-1 Exception Report separately from the other EEO-1 reports, with its own header and details. See Running the EEO-1 Reports for more information.

EEO-1 Component 2 Compensation Data Report

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) collects workforce data from private employers with 100 or more employees, federal contractors, and subcontractors. To comply with EEOC reporting requirements, employers are required to submit to the EEOC “Component 2 Compensation data” if they have 100 or more employees during the workforce snapshot period. The workforce snapshot period is an employer-selected pay period between October 1 and December 31 of the reporting year. For further information about the EEOC Component 2 Compensation data requirements, visit the EEO-1 Survey website at https://www.eeoc.gov/employers/eeo1survey/index.cfm.

Oracle provides the EEO-1 Component 2 Compensation Data Report concurrent request to enable you to generate the necessary CSV output file according to the EEOC's Component 2 EEO -1 Upload File Layout specifications or to generate the paper forms to assist with manual data entry. This report collects the number of employees and the hours worked by job category, salary pay band, gender, and race or ethnicity data. For information about this report, visit the Component 2 EEO-1 Online Filing System website at https://eeoccomp2.norc.org/.

Important: Complete the additional setup steps prior to running this report. You must run the EEO-1 Exception Report prior to running the EEO-1 Component 2 Compensation Data Report. The EEO-1 Exception Report identifies employees with incorrect or incomplete setup. You must correct these setup issues. Otherwise, any employees reported by the EEO-1 Exception Report will neither be included in the EEO-1 Component 2 Compensation Data Report nor reported in the exception report.

See:

Setting Up EEO-1 Reporting

Running the EEO-1 Component 2 Compensation Data Report

Electronic EEO-1 Exception Report

When you run the Electronic EEO-1 Report and encounter missing or incorrect setup such as an incomplete address for one of the HR establishments, the program ends in error and displays the establishment name and reason that caused the error in the report request log.

Following are potential scenarios that can cause the Electronic EEO-1 Report to end in error:

To minimize the effort required to resolve these errors and complete the EEO-1 report, run the Electronic EEO-1 Exception Report concurrent program. This program reports all the missing or incorrect setup in one place.

Important: As a best practice, run the Electronic EEO-1 Exception report before running the Electronic EEO-1 report to resolve any errors due to incomplete or incorrect setup ahead of time.

See Running the EEO-1 Reports for more information.

Submitting EEO Reports

You can submit EEO reports to the EEOC either formatted for magnetic media or as computer printouts.

Submitting Reports as Computer Printouts

You can submit the following reports as computer printouts:

Note: You must submit the EEO Consolidated Report on Standard Form 100; you cannot submit it as a computer printout.

The printouts comply with the current formatting rules of the EEOC. However, the EEOC requires submission of test printouts for review and written verification of acceptability.

Submitting Reports Formatted for Magnetic Media

You can submit the following reports formatted for magnetic media:

When you submit a request for the Electronic EEO-1 Report, the application generates the appropriate reports from this list for your establishment hierarchy and formats them for submission to the EEOC on magnetic media. You can upload the formatted file to the EEOC using the EEO-1 Web Application.

IPEDS (Integrated Post-Secondary Education Data System) Reporting

Oracle HRMS enables you to record information required by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The National Center for Educational Statistics (NCES) collects and supplies information on employee affirmative action reporting to the EEOC.

The information on employee affirmative action reporting produced by the reports is used to determine federal program needs and eligibility.

The reports required by the NCES are:

For information on setting up information for IPEDS reports, see: Setting Up Information for the IPEDS Reports

Running the EEO-1 Reports

You can run the whole suite of EEO-1 reports at one time, or you can run individual reports. When you run the whole suite of EEO-1 reports, the application automatically creates the appropriate single-establishment or multi-establishment reports for you from the establishment hierarchy you identify.

The Electronic EEO-1 Report program generates the electronic EEO-1 report file with Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) of each establishment. If an establishment has multiple locations at a common address and has the same NAICS code, then the Electronic EEO-1 Report consolidates the employee counts into a single record instead of reporting the employee counts separately for each establishment.

See: Equal Employment Opportunity Reporting (EEO-1)

You can generate the suite of EEO-1 reports as computer printouts or formatted for magnetic media. When formatted for magnetic media, the suite of EEO-1 reports does not include the EEO-1 Exception Report. You cannot format individual reports for magnetic media.

You submit all requests to run EEO-1 reports, including those for the suite of EEO-1 reports, as single requests from the Submit Request window. You can request the following EEO-1 reports:

To run an EEO-1 report

  1. Select one of the following values in the Name field:

    • EEO-1 Suite of Reports

    • Electronic EEO-1 Report

    • EEO Individual Establishment Report

    • EEO Consolidated Report

    • EEO Establishment Employment Listing

    • EEO-1 Exception Report

    • Electronic EEO-1 Exception Report

  2. If the Parameters window does not open automatically, click in the Parameters field.

  3. Select the name and version of the establishment hierarchy to use for this report.

  4. Enter the start and end dates of the report period. Choose any date between July 1 and September 30, and the start date can be the same as the end date.

  5. This step does not apply to the following reports:

    • EEO Establishment Employment Listing

    • EEO-1 Exception Report

    • Electronic EEO-1 Exception Report

  6. Select a report mode, if required. The report mode can be F (Final) or D (Draft).

    • Select final mode only when you are ready to submit the report to the EEOC. When you run a report in final mode, the employment data totals from the report are stored so that they can be included in next year's report in the PREVIOUS REPORTED TOTAL line.

    • Draft is the default mode. When you run a report in draft mode, the employment data totals are not recorded. You can run a report in draft mode as often as necessary.

    Note: Avoid rerunning a report in final mode after you submit it successfully to the EEOC. If you rerun a report in these circumstances, the application may update the stored employment data totals. Therefore, when you run the report in the following year, the figures in the PREVIOUS REPORTED TOTAL line could differ from those you submitted to the EEOC during the year in question. Any discrepancy between the two sets of figures could cause the EEOC to question the data.

    The Report Mode parameter is not applicable to the following reports:

    • EEO Establishment Employment Listing

    • EEO-1 Exception Report

    • Electronic EEO-1 Exception Report

  7. Choose OK, then Submit.

EO Survey Reporting

Equal Opportunity (EO) Survey Reporting

The U.S. Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) requires government contractors with 50 or more employees and who satisfy other criteria regarding the business they transact to submit an Equal Opportunity (EO) Survey Report. Oracle HRMS can generate an EO Survey Report, which is in three parts:

The Reporting Establishment

You can run the EO Survey Report for either an establishment hierarchy or a single establishment in an establishment hierarchy. The location definition of an establishment supplies the reporting name and FEIN for Part A of the report. If the location definition does not include this information, equivalent information from the parent entity (the organization) appears in the report.

The Reporting Period

The EO Survey Report applies to a 12-month period. You can run the report for:

People Included in the Report

Oracle HRMS includes in the EO Survey Report applicants, employees, and ex-employees whose:

Applicants

An applicant is a person whose application for full-time employment you receive in the reporting period, who has the assignment status Active Application or Accepted, and who has any of the following system person types:

Oracle HRMS includes:

Hires

A new hire is a full-time employee whose hire date is in the reporting period and whose system person type is either Employee or Employee and Applicant.

Oracle HRMS includes:

Promotions

Oracle HRMS includes in the Promotions count any full-time employee who changes assignment during the reporting period and whose assignment change reason is Promotion. The new job or position must be full time. When a person is promoted, the user should enter Promotion in the reason field on the Miscellaneous tab on the assignment window.

Terminations

Oracle HRMS includes full-time employees in the Terminations count if their assignment status is Terminate Assignment or Suspend Assignment and their actual termination date is in the reporting period.

Oracle HRMS includes in the Applicants, Hires, and Terminations counts a person who applies for a full-time job, is hired, and is terminated, all within the reporting period.

Full-Time Employees

Employees are full time if their annual working hours are greater than or equal to the number of hours you specify on input to the EO Survey Report. On the final day of the reporting period, an employee's assignment status must be Active Assignment and their system person type must be Employee or Employee and Applicant.

Oracle HRMS includes in both the Applicants and Employees counts an employee whose system person type is Employee and Applicant.

Annual Monetary Compensation

To calculate annual monetary compensation, Oracle HRMS provides a new balance, EO Regular Salary Year to Date, for the balance dimension Assignment Year to Date. Three seeded salary elements feed this balance:

If you use different salary elements, you must update the definition of the balance EO Regular Salary Year to Date to include your salary elements.

The records of full-time employees who have been paid at least once in the reporting period contribute to Part C of the EO Survey Report.

Tenure Data

A full-time employee's tenure is the difference between their hire date and the end date of the reporting period. Oracle HRMS rounds to a whole month a period of more than 15 days but less than 1 month and ignores periods of 15 or fewer days. Tenure includes breaks in service.

Running the EO Survey Report

Run the EO Survey Report from the Submit Request Set window.

To run the EO Survey Report

  1. In the Request Set field of the Submit Request Set window, select EO Survey Report.

  2. In the Submit Request Set window, click in the EO Survey Report's Parameters field.

    The Parameters window appears.

  3. Enter the end date of the 12-month period on which you are reporting. You can run the report for:

    • Your last complete Affirmative Action Program (AAP) year

    • The last complete calendar year

    For example, if your latest AAP year ended on 31st May 2004, enter 31-MAY-2004 to run the report for that year. To run the report for the calendar year 2003, enter 31-DEC-2003.

    If you enter no date, Oracle HRMS uses the current effective date.

  4. Select the name and version of the establishment hierarchy on which you are reporting.

  5. To report on a single establishment in the selected hierarchy, select the establishment name.

  6. Enter the minimum hours a full-time employee works in a year. For example, if your full-time employees work a minimum of 30 hours each week for 45 weeks each year, enter 1350 in the Minimum Hours field. In this example, the EO Survey Report excludes any employee who works fewer than 1350 hours each year.

  7. Click OK.

  8. Click Submit.

    The application displays the concurrent request ID.

EVS Reporting

Employee Verification Service (EVS) Reporting

Employee names and social security numbers that you include in your Internal Revenue Service Forms W-2 (Wage and Tax Statement) must match Social Security Administration (SSA) office records so that the SSA can credit your employees' earnings records correctly. The SSA offers a free employee verification service, which you can use to validate your employee records at any time prior to submitting your W-2 statements.

To enable you to take advantage of this service, Oracle HRMS provides the Electronic Employee Verification Service (EVS) Report. The EVS report is a list of the employees in one or more Government Reporting Entities (GREs) showing their social security number, full name, gender, and date of birth. The report, which is in social security number order, can include:

Oracle HRMS records in the report log the number of employees in the report and the number of employees in each GRE in the report. The report does not include contingent workers or applicants.

The SSA office compares your employee records with its own and returns a report showing a verification code for each employee record. A blank verification code indicates that your record matches the SSA record. A nonblank verification code indicates a mismatch that you must correct before submitting your W-2 statements. The SSA's instructions define the meaning of each verification code.

Requester Identification Code

Before you can submit an electronic EVS report to the SSA office, you must register your intention. When you register, the SSA office sends you a Requester Identification Code, which you must include in your report. To do this, you record the code in the EVS filing information for the GRE.

Submitting the EVS Report to the SSA

Oracle HRMS formats the EVS report for diskette according to the SSA's instructions. Oracle HRMS writes the first 11,000 employee records to file EVSREQ2K and subsequent batches of 11,000 records to files EVSREQ2K1, EVSREQ2K2, and so on. Oracle HRMS inserts the suffix number of the second and subsequent files in the final 3 characters of each employee record in the file. Before you write each file to diskette, rename it EVSREQ2K.

If you choose to submit your report on CD-ROM, Oracle HRMS produces a single file of employee records called EVSREQ2K, regardless of the number of records you have to verify.

Note: You are recommended to confirm with your SSA office that you can use CD-ROM before you run the report.

Running the Electronic Employee Verification Service (EVS) Report

Run the Electronic Employee Verification Service (EVS) Report from the Submit Request window.

To run the EVS report

  1. In the Name field, select Electronic Employee Verification Service (EVS) Report.

  2. Enter start and end dates. The end date can be the same as the start date. By default, the start date is the effective date, and the end date is 31st December of the year of the effective date.

    The effect of these dates depends on the report category you select in Step 4. If you select the report category:

    • All Employees, the report includes people employed at any time in the specified period

    • Retirees, the report includes retirees whose retirement date is in the specified period

    • New Hires only, the report includes employees whose hire date is in the specified period

    • Employees and Retirees, the report includes people employed at any time in the specified period and retirees whose retirement date is in the specified period

    Note: In all cases, the report includes only those employee records your security profile enables you to access.

  3. Select the Government Reporting Entity (GRE) to which the report applies. If you leave this field blank, the report applies to all GREs in the business group.

  4. Select a report category. By default, the report includes new hires only.

    Available options are Employees Only, New Hires Only, Retirees, and Employees and Retirees.

  5. Click OK.

  6. Click Submit.

    The application displays the concurrent request ID of the report.

    Oracle HRMS writes to the report log the number of employee records in the report and the number of employee records in each GRE included in the report.

AAP Reporting

AAP (Affirmative Action Plan) Reporting

The US Federal Executive Order 11246 requires enterprises who are government contractors or subcontractors and have 50 or more employees, to establish affirmative action plans (AAPs) for women and ethnic minorities. The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) of the US Labor Department, responsible for enforcing affirmative action laws, requires these enterprises to measure the effectiveness of their affirmative action plans by implementation of internal reporting.

To assist you with affirmative action reporting, Oracle HR provides two reports for your AAP plans:

These reports both display for each job an affirmative action plan covers, the EEO job category and a salary code indicating the job's relative compensation level. Also the reports display for each job, the number and percentage of employees in the job by gender and by ethnicity (White / Black / Asian / Native American / Hispanic).

Workforce Analysis Report

This report shows by their line of progression, the jobs in the organizations an affirmative action plan covers. A line of progression is a set of related jobs, ordered from the lowest to the highest paid. This is an example line of progression for jobs in Sales:

Sales Assistant -> Salesperson -> Sales Team Leader -> Sales District Manager -> Sales Regional Manager -> Vice-president of Sales

The Workforce Analysis report displays the current totals of all employees and of ethnic minorities for each organization and for the entire affirmative action plan. It also shows the totals for each organization as a percentage of the plan totals.

Job Group Analysis Report

This report organizes the jobs an affirmative action plan covers by their job groups. A job group is a set of jobs related by virtue of similar levels of responsibility, compensation and opportunities for advancement. For example, the Regional Manager Job Group could include these jobs:

Sales Regional Manager - Regional Director, Human Resources - Regional Head, Finance - Production Manager - MIS Regional Manager

For each job group, the report displays the current totals of all employees and of ethnic minorities in its jobs. It also displays these totals for the entire affirmative action plan, and shows the jobs, and shows each job group's totals as percentages of the plan totals.

AAP Organizations

AAP reporting differs from other types of government-mandated HR reporting in that the reports are issued for each affirmative action plan within a GRE, instead of the establishments within a GRE. While it can happen that an affirmative action plan covers all employees in one or several Reporting Establishments, plan coverage does not necessarily follow these boundaries.

For example, a plan may cover employees based in many different Reporting Establishments who all work in the same functional area, such as customer service or human resources. Another plan may cover a variety of employees based at different sites who all have the same job classification, such as Registered Nurse, Technician, or Machinist.

To represent the affirmative action plans in your enterprise, you set up organizations classified as AAP Organizations, entering for each the name of its plan. An AAP Organization can also be (but is not necessarily) a GRE, Reporting Establishment, and HR Organization. After defining AAP Organizations you place them in AAP establishment hierarchies.

AAP Hierarchies

AAP hierarchies differ from other establishment hierarchies in one important respect. Whereas in other establishment hierarchies one Reporting Establishment cannot be subordinate to another, in AAP hierarchies an AAP Organization, which can also be a Reporting Establishment, can occur at any level.

In other words, AAP Organizations can appear below other AAP Organizations in an AAP establishment hierarchy when this represents the reality of your enterprise, even if both organizations are also Reporting Establishments.

To obtain the AAP reporting for one of these plans, you supply the hierarchy name and the particular plan name as report parameters.

Data for AAP Reporting

For this reporting you maintain the same information as that required for EEO-1 reports:

Additionally, for AAP reporting you jobs must have:

Example AAP Hierarchy

Example AAP Hierarchy

the picture is described in the document text

The following diagram is an example AAP Hierarchy.

This example AAP hierarchy includes these affirmative action plans:

Set Up AAP Organizations

The hierarchies you build for AAP reporting must include AAP Organizations, to represent the affirmative action plans in effect in your enterprise.

See: AAP Organizations

To define an AAP organization

  1. Using the Organization window, either query an existing internal organization or create an internal organization with the appropriate name and location for this AAP Organization.

    See: Creating an Organization

  2. In the Organization Classifications region, select the classification AAP Organization for the organization and enable it. Save your work.

  3. Select the classification AAP organization in the Organization Classifications region. Choose the Others button and select AAP Organization. Click in the Additional Organization Information field to open the AAP Organization window. Enter the name of the affirmative action plan this organization represents.

    Note: The organization can have other classifications as well. If it does, add information for these classifications as necessary.

    See: Creating an Organization

  4. Save your work. If this AAP Organization occurs as a subordinate organization in one or more AAP establishment hierarchies, place it in these hierarchies using the Parent Organization window.

    See: Putting Subordinate Reporting Organizations in Hierarchies

Create AAP Establishment Hierarchies

To create an AAP establishment hierarchy

  1. Determine how best to place in the hierarchy your affirmative action plans, represented by AAP Organizations, and the organizations under each plan.

    If the hierarchy is for one affirmative action plan only, the AAP Organization representing this plan should be the top organization. If the hierarchy covers two or more plans, the AAP Organizations for these plans can appear at any level of the hierarchy.

  2. Build the hierarchy by placing all the organizations with jobs covered by an affirmative action plan, below the AAP Organization representing that plan

    See: Example AAP Hierarchy

Associate Jobs with AAP Reporting Information

To associate your jobs with salary codes, lines of progression, and job groups, define all the jobs covered by your affirmative action plans.

See: Defining Jobs

To associate jobs with AAP reporting information

  1. In the Job window, query the job in the Name field if it does not already appear there. Click in the Further Information field to open the Further Job Information window.

  2. Select for this job its job group name, line of progression, and grade used for its salary code, in the Job Group, Line of Progression, and Salary Code fields, respectively.

VETS-4212 Reporting

VETS-4212 Reporting

Each year, federal contractors and subcontractors whose contracts are of a specified value must file a Federal Contractor Veterans Employment Report. Effective August 1, 2015, the Veterans Employee and Training Service (VETS) administration mandates that federal contractors file their VETS reports using the VETS-4212 form, which replaces the VETS-100 and VETS-100A reports. The VETS-4212 form requires federal contractors to report aggregate data on the number of protected veterans that were newly hired and the number they employed.

VETS-4212 Reports

To accommodate the VETS-4212 reporting requirements, Oracle US HR provides the following concurrent programs to generate the VETS-4212 reports:

See:

You can generate all of the VETS-4212A reports for your enterprise by running a single program or by running each program individually according to your business requirements. The application automatically creates single-establishment or multiple-establishment reports based on the hierarchy structure selected.

Note: The Oracle US HR VETS-4212 reports are designed to comply with current formatting standards. However, Oracle recommends that you refer to the VETS-4212 website at https://www.dol.gov/vets/vets4212.htm for the latest reporting requirements.

Set Up Data to Generate VETS-4212 Reports

See Setting Up Data to Generate VETS-4212 Reports for information about setting up data to run the VETS-4212 reports.

The employee counts reported in the VETS-4212 reports are derived based on the VETS-100A value in an employee's person record. An HR professional selects the VETS-100A value for an employee in the Employment tab of the People window in the professional UI. If an employee uses the Disclose Veteran Status Employee Self-Service function to record their VETS-100A information, then the application captures the VETS-100A value and this value is visible in the Employment tab of the People window in the professional UI.

The following table maps each VETS-100A value to the Protected Veteran column in each VETS-4212 report:

VETS-100A Value Protected Veteran?
Armed Forces Service Medal (AFSM) Veteran Yes
Disabled, AFSM Veteran   Yes
Disabled, Other Protected, AFSM Veteran Yes
Recently Separated, AFSM Veteran Yes
Disabled, Recently Separated, AFSM Veteran Yes
Disabled Vet, Other Protected, AFSM, Recently Separated Yes
Other Protected Veteran, AFSM, Recently Separated Yes
Other Protected, AFSM Veteran Yes
Not a Protected Veteran No

ADA Reporting

Registering Employees as Disabled

When employees request registration as disabled, effect this registration by checking the Disabled box in the Person window when entering them in the system. They will then be listed on the ADA Report.

ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) Reporting

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) became law on 26 July 1990. It prohibits employers from discriminating against employees or applicants with disabilities who can perform the essential functions of a job with reasonable accommodation. Under ADA, people with disabilities are those:

The ADA Report shows how your enterprise is responding to the requests of employees with disabilities for reasonable accommodations to permit them to carry out the essential functions of their jobs, without undue hardship to you as their employer.

Report Coverage

The ADA report covers those employees in each of your establishments who work on a non-temporary, full or part time basis, have a non-terminated assignment status as of the report period end date, and have taken one or more of the following actions:

To determine which of your employment categories cover non-temporary full time or part time workers, and which assignment statuses count as non-terminated, you use the Reporting Categories and Reporting Statuses registered for your Business Group.

Information for ADA Reporting

The report provides basic information (name, number, organization and job) about employees who have identified themselves as having a disability. You can register employees as disabled when entering other basic personal information about them.

When employees submit information about particular types of disabilities, you maintain this information using the ADA Disabilities window. The report presents this information, including any information in the form of comments.

Requests for Accommodations

Because the Americans with Disabilities Act encourages employers to make reasonable accommodations permitting employers with disabilities to work, Oracle HR provides the Disabilities Accommodations window for recording information about employees' requests for such accommodations.

The ADA Report lists these requests with their request dates, reviewers, review dates and status (requested, approved, or denied). It also lists the cost of each approved accommodation, and the total cost of approved accommodations for each establishment.

Essential Functions of Jobs or Positions

The report can optionally display for each employee with a disability, the essential requirements of his or her job or position, providing that you maintain these requirements in the database.

See: Entering Job and Position Skill Requirements

OSHA Reporting

OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Act) Reporting

The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 and Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 1904 (29CFR Part 1904) require employers in certain industries to record and report on employees' work-related injuries and illnesses. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) administers this record keeping and reporting, often in cooperation with state agencies. Employers must consult with these agencies to determine if they are subject to additional state-level recording and reporting obligations.

Employers in relatively high-risk industries such as construction, manufacturing, and health services, must keep OSHA records for each individual establishment on an ongoing basis, if they have a combined total of 11 or more employees working at one or more establishments.

Employers in other industries that normally are not required to keep OSHA records must maintain these records when selected to participate in the Annual Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses. This survey produces national estimates of occupational injuries and illnesses for all employers.

For a full list of industries required to maintain and report on OSHA information, and detailed instructions about OHSA record keeping, consult the document A Brief Guide to Recordkeeping Requirements for Occupational Injuries and Illnesses. To obtain copies of this publication, contact your regional office of the Bureau of Labor Statistics or write to:

Bureau of Labor Statistics

Division of Management Systems (1220-0029)

OSHA Data

Information needed for OSHA reporting includes a description of each work-related injury or illness and the date, place and circumstances of its occurrence or onset, as well as information on its physical effects and its outcome. For a nonfatal incident, you also maintain data showing its effects on the employee's ability to work.

OSHA 300, 300A, and 301 Reports

The OSHA 300 Log report and OSHA 300A Summary report record information about work-related injuries and illnesses during the year, and present a summary of these injuries and illnesses at year end. An additional report, OSHA 301 Incident Report, provides further information about the cases you record. The OSHA reports are XML-based and produce PDF output.

See Running OSHA Reports for more information.

Electronic OSHA Reports

To enable employers to electronically submit OSHA data according to statutory requirements, the following reports are available:

See Running OSHA Electronic Reports for more information.

OSHA Establishments

GREs with more than one establishment must maintain separate sets of OSHA records and reporting for each establishment. To represent these establishments and the employees within them, you use Reporting Establishments and establishment hierarchies.

Notice that for OSHA record keeping and reporting, clearly separate activities performed at the same physical location require treatment as separate Reporting Establishments. For example, if an enterprise has manufacturing facilities and sales offices in the same building, each activity constitutes a distinct establishment.

OSHA Categories of Illness

OSHA recognizes these categories of occupational injury or illness:

Entering Information about Work-related Injury or Illness

US OFCCP Disability/VEVRAA Audit Reporting

Setting Up the US OFCCP Disability/VEVRAA Audit Report

The US OFCCP Disability/VEVRAA Audit Report enables you to generate an audit report containing employee disability and veteran status information in the event of a compliance audit by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP).

Before you run the US OFCCP Disability/VEVRAA Audit Report, complete the following steps:

  1. Add the US OFCCP/VEVRAA functions to the applicable menu.

    The following functions are not available by default with the seeded Employee Self-Service menu (HR_EMPLOYEE_DIRECT_ACCESS_V4.0):

    • US OFCCP Disability

    • US VEVRAA

    Function Name Technical Name Prompt Description
    US OFCCP Disability PER_US_DISABILITY Disclose Disability Status Provides the Disclose Disability Status page.
    US VEVRAA PER_US_VEVRAA Disclose Veteran Status Provides the Disclose Veteran Status page.

    To enable employees to provide their disability and veteran status information using the self-service pages, you must manually add these functions to the Employee Self-Service menu or any applicable menu that you use. Once you add these functions, the Disclose Disability Status and Disclose Veteran Status pages will be available to the employees to provide information.

  2. Ensure that employees have provided their disability and veteran status information using the following Employee Self-Service pages:

    • Disclose Disability Status page: Consists of an enterable PDF form that reproduces Form CC 305 where the self service user can optionally make selections disclosing their disability status.

    • Disclose Veteran Status page: Consists of an enterable PDF form where the self service user can optionally make a selection disclosing their veteran status.

See:

Entering Disability and Veteran Status Details to Comply with OFCCP, Oracle Self-Service Human Resources Deploy Self-Service Capability Guide

Running the US OFCCP Disability/VEVRAA Audit Report

Running the US OFCCP Disability/VEVRAA Audit Report

Run this report to generate an audit data containing employee disability and veteran status information in the event of a compliance audit by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP). This report provides audit details for employees only. It does not report on the applicant data. Depending on the report type selected by the user, the report generates either CC 305 (Disability Status) PDF or Veteran Status PDF output containing the corresponding data entered or submitted by employees. The PDF output generated is read-only and reflects the most recently submitted employee data. This means that for the CC 305 PDF (Disability Status) output, the Today's Date field in the form will reflect the date when the employee last submitted their disability status data. The report output essentially replicates the PDF form as it was submitted by the employee and can therefore act as a physical audit copy for employers.

If you have implemented Oracle iRecruitment, then you can run the iRecruitment US OFCCP Disability/VEVRAA Audit report to generate OFCCP and veteran external applicant data for compliance audit. See: Oracle iRecruitment Implementation and User Guide

You can run the US OFCCP Disability/VEVRAA Audit report from the Submit Request window.

Prerequisites

To run the US OFCCP Disability/VEVRAA Audit Report

  1. Select US OFCCP Disability/VEVRAA Audit Report in the Name field.

  2. Enter the following parameters:

    • Report Type: Select either Disability Status Data or Veteran Status Data. Selecting Disability Status Data will generate an audit report containing CC 305 form data. Selecting Veteran Status Data will generate an audit report containing veteran status data (VEVRAA audit information).

    • Government Reporting Entity: Select the GRE to determine the employees to be included in the report. All employees whose primary assignment is assigned to this GRE will be picked up by the report.

    • Organization: This is an optional parameter. Select the HR organization to further filter the employee population to be included in the report.

    • Employee Name: This is an optional parameter and can be used in the event that the report needs to be generated for a single employee only. Optionally select a single employee to be included n the report. This parameter is dependent on both the GRE and Organization selected. Therefore it will be enabled once the organization is selected.

    • Effective Date: Enter the date on which you want to run the report.
