Windows for Maintaining Personal Information

Every enterprise must be able to record personal information for its employees, applicants, and contacts. HRMS enables you to enter and update this information using windows based on templates designed for your own working environment. Your system administrator can configure the predefined templates to match your people management processes.

If the template windows are not set up at your site, you can record personal information for all person types on the People and Assignment windows.

Note: The template windows are an efficient way to perform most basic HR management actions, such as hiring, ending an application, and updating assignments. However, the template windows do not support all DateTrack options, so for complex retroactive changes to history, you may have to use the People and Assignment windows.

Your system administrator can set up task flows from the template windows or the People and Assignment windows to give you access to all the windows in which you can record personal and employment information. You can enter information about:

You can also use these windows to update people's statuses, for example, from applicant to employee.

Note: The system administrator can create configured versions of the People window and the template windows so that you use each version for certain person types only or for certain functions only (entering employees, entering applicants, or hiring applicants).

Displaying Personal Information

Oracle HRMS enables you to easily access all the information you enter about people. There are lots of ways to view information about people held in Oracle HRMS. You can select the approach that best fits your needs. For example, you can:

Entering a New Person (People Window)

Use the People window to enter and maintain basic personal information for all person types, including employees and contingent workers.

Note: You can also use one of the template windows such as Entering Employees or Entering Contingent Workers to enter new people.

The minimum information to enter for all categories of people is name and action type. In addition, for employees you must enter gender, employee number (if your enterprise uses manual number entry), and date of birth (for assignment to a payroll). Your localization may require additional mandatory information.

To enter a new person:

  1. Set your effective date to the appropriate date for adding the person to the application. If you are entering an employee, this should be their hire date.

  2. Enter the person's name and other details in the Name region. Only the last name is required for most legislations, but some legislations require a first name too.

    For UK users: The first name is a mandatory field. Ensure that the first character is an alphabet. The employee's last name is not a mandatory field, however, ensure that the first character is an alphabet.

    For Romanian users: First and last names are mandatory.

    • In the Title field, select a title such as Mrs. or Doctor.

    • You can use the Prefix field to enter the first part of the person's name, such as van der. In the case of someone whose last name is van der Zee, you can sort by the last word of the name, that is Zee. If the whole name van der Zee is entered in the Last Name field, the name is sorted under van.

      For Romanian users only: Prefix is not required in Romania, so this field is not available to Romanian users.

      For Russian users only: Prefix is not required in Russia, so this field is not available to Russian users.

      For UAE users only: Prefix is recorded as additional personal information. Therefore, this field is not displayed in the Name region.

    • The Suffix field holds part of the last name, such as Junior or II. You can report on the suffix separately, as required in some government-mandated reports.

      For Romanian users only: Suffix is not required in Romania, so this field is not available to Romanian users.

      For Russian users only: Suffix is not required in Russia, so this field is not available to Russian users.

      For UAE users only: Suffix is recorded as additional personal information. Therefore, this field is not displayed in the Name region.

    • For Russian users only: In the Genitive Last field, enter the genitive case of the person's last name. For example, Ivanovskogo is the genitive case of the last name Ivanovskii. The genitive last name is required for some statutory reports. If you do not enter the genitive last name, the application uses the nominative last name.

  3. Select a gender, if required. In the US, you must choose Male, Female, or Unknown Gender. In the UK, you must enter the gender of each employee. For Poland, the PESEL you enter supplies the gender information. For Finland, the PIN (Personal Identification Number) supplies the gender information.

    Note: For Norway users only: A gender value will be automatically generated based on the person`s National Identity number.

  4. In the Action field, select an action type (such as Create Employment) and a person type. The person type you select displays immediately in the Person Type for Action field before you save it. If only one user person type exists for the action type, it displays automatically in the Person Type for Action field.

    Note: If you enter a contingent worker who has a previous person type such as ex-employee, you can choose to revert the contingent worker back to the previous person type by using the Cancel Placement action.

    If you are a Finnish user and need to pay salary to a contingent worker through Oracle payroll, you need to enter the person as an employee. You then change the person as a not employed person by changing the employee status in the Additional Assignment Details window. See: Entering Additional Assignment Details (Assignment Window), Oracle HRMS for Finland Supplement

    You create user person types in the Person Types window. If you want to change a person type to another person type with the same system person type you must use the Person Type Usage window.

    See: Changing Person Type Usage and Deleting OAB Person Type Usage, Oracle HRMS Enterprise and Workforce Management Guide

Entering Employee Information

Enter the following information if the person is an employee.

  1. If desired, change the Latest Start Date field.

    • The Latest Start Date field displays your effective date.

    • For employees who have previously worked for your enterprise, the Date First Hired field displays the start date of the employee's earliest, previous period of service. This date must be on or before the start date of the earliest period of service. The Date First Hired field is situated on the Benefits Tab.

    If the latest start date and the date first hired are the same, when you amend the latest start date, the date first hired is set to the same date.

    If you amend the latest start date to earlier than the date first hired, the date first hired is set to the same date.

    Note: In the US, before making a change to a latest hire date already entered for an employee, ensure that the start date of the employee's primary address is the same as or earlier than the new hire date. This preserves the integrity of the employee's tax records.

Entering Identification Information

Enter the person's identification information in the Identification region:

  1. If your enterprise uses a manual number generation scheme, enter an employee, applicant or contingent worker number. If your enterprise uses automatic number generation (including Use Employee Numbering for contingent workers), the employee, applicant, or contingent worker number automatically displays when you save your entries in this window.

    Note: If you query a person who has a combination of employee, applicant, and contingent worker numbers, the employee number displays in the Number field. If the person lacks an employee number but has a contingent worker number and an applicant number, the contingent worker number displays. However, you can choose to view any of the identification numbers held for a person by selecting them from the list.

  2. Enter the national identifier for your country. For example, enter the National Insurance number in the UK, the Social Security number in the US, the Fiscal Code in Italy, the IRD Number in New Zealand, the Social Security Code (TAJ) in Hungary, the Individual Tax Payer's Number (INN) in Russia or the ID number in South Africa.

    For Japanese users: If you have entered the personal number using the self-service pages, then you can view the masked personal number You cannot update the personal number here. This is a unique identification number and is used for taxation and social insurance purposes and for display on the withholding income tax report, notification of acquisition of insurance qualification.

    If you are an Australian user, leave the National Identifier field blank. For Finland, the PIN (Personal Identification Number) supplies the values for gender, date of birth, and age.

    Note: For Norway and Sweden users only: The PIN (Personal Identification Number) supplies the values for gender, date of birth, and age.

Entering Personal Details

Enter personal details in the Personal tabbed region.

  1. Enter a date of birth. You must do this before you can assign an employee to a payroll. For Poland, the PESEL supplies the date of birth. For Finland, the PIN (Personal Identification Number) supplies the date of birth.

    For UK users only: If you have not entered the NI Number, the Date of Birth is a mandatory field.

  2. Enter additional birth information into the Town of Birth, Region of Birth, and Country of Birth fields.

    For Hungarian, UAE, and Indian users only: Enter the place of birth instead of town of birth as this information identifies employees and appears in statutory reports.

    For Belgian users only: Region of birth information is not required in Belgium, so this field is not available to Belgian users.

    For Romanian users only: You must select the country of birth first. If the country of birth is Romania, then the Region of Birth field displays the counties and on selecting the county, the Town of Birth displays the localities. If the country of birth is not Romania, then the Region of Birth and Town of Birth are free text fields.

  3. For Russian users only: Enter the place of birth code in the Place of Birth field. The application uses this information when generating tax and pension statutory reports. You can find this code in the document All Russian Classification of Subjects of Administrative and Territorial Division (OKATO).

  4. For Finnish and Romanian users only: Enter the place of residence. The place of residence influences the regional membership. You use the place of residence and regional membership to calculate income tax and other statutory deductions. Romanian users can optionally specify whether the person is a resident of Romania, a non resident non European Union, or a non resident European Union.

    For Japanese users only:Enter the country of birth.

  5. If the Work Telephone field is displayed, enter a work telephone number. Otherwise, use the Phone Numbers window to enter this information.

  6. In the Status field, select a marital status.

  7. Select a nationality.

    For UAE users only: Nationality is recorded as additional personal information. Therefore, this field is not displayed in the Personal tabbed region.

  8. For Russian users only: Enter the employee's statutory Pension Insurance Fund identifier. It is the employee's ID in the Statutory Pension Insurance Fund.

  9. For Russian, Swedish, and Romanian users only: Select the person's citizenship. In Russia, you require this information for some statutory reporting to migration authorities. In Sweden, you can use this information to track persons who are not Swedish citizens, since the taxation and pension insurance schemes differ from those for Swedish citizens. For Romania, you can optionally specify whether the person is a Romanian, European Union, or other citizen.

  10. Select whether your employee, applicant or contingent worker is:

    • Registered disabled

    • Not registered disabled

    • Partially disabled

    • Fully disabled

    Note: Whether employees are fully or partially disabled affects benefits eligibility calculations.

    In the US, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Report includes employees set up as registered disabled, partially disabled, and fully disabled.

    For Norway, Finnish, Danish, and Swedish users only: This field is not available.

  11. For Dutch users only: Select Yes in the Work Abroad Exceeding One Year field, if your employee has worked abroad for more than a year.

  12. For Belgian users only: enter the person's preferred correspondence language in the Other region.

  13. Save your work.

Multiple Person Records

  1. If your data already includes a person with the same national identifier, or with the same surname and a first name and date of birth that is either the same or not entered, then a list of values shows all the people who share the details.

    Note: People who are only entered with a person type of Other, that is someone external to your enterprise, are not shown in this list.

    If you have entered neither a first name nor a date of birth, then the list of values displays all the records that match the information you have entered.

    Note: The list of values displays only if your system administrator has set the HR: Cross Business Group profile option to Yes.

    Do one of the following four tasks:

    • If the person you are entering already exists, but in a different business group, then select that person from the list of values. The person you are entering is saved in your current business group and linked to the existing person record to indicate they are the same person. If your application has person synchronization enabled, then the personal information entered for the new person is copied across to existing records in other business groups. If existing records have values for fields that the new record leaves blank, then these values appear in the new record. See: Person Record Synchronization, Oracle HRMS Workforce Sourcing, Deployment, and Talent Management Guide

    • If the person already exists in your current business group then select that person from the list of values. The application retrieves the existing record and cancels the save you were trying to make, as one business group cannot contain two records for the same person. Close the new record and scroll down to display the existing record.

    Note: You cannot link to any entry in the list of values marked with an asterisk as these either belong to your business group, or are linked to a person in your business group.

    • If the person already exists in TCA, but not in HRMS, then select that person from the list of values. The person you are entering is saved in your current business group and linked to the existing person record to indicate they are the same person. The information held for the person in TCA is updated with that entered in HRMS. See: People in a Global Enterprise, Oracle HRMS Workforce Sourcing, Deployment, and Talent Management Guide

    • If the person you are entering does not match any of the records displayed, then select No Match in the lookup. Your new person record is saved.

    Note: All fields in the Benefits tabbed region are optional. Most can help to determine plan eligibility or rates.

    Note: If necessary, you can add the Benefits Tab to the People window. Query the BEN_MANAGER menu in the Menus window and add the HR View Benefits function to the menu.

  2. Enter a benefit group for your employee or applicant. Benefit groups help determine a person's eligibility for a plan or set benefit rates. For example, benefit groups can address mergers and acquisitions where eligibility is complicated, or assist in grandfathering a person into a very old plan.

  3. Enter the medical plan number, which is the policy or group plan number of an externally provided medical plan.

  4. Enter the date you received the death certificate of a deceased employee. You can enter this only after you have entered the date of death in the Other Information region. The receipt of the death certificate must be after or equal to the date of death.

  5. Enter an adjusted service date for your employee. Benefits can use this date, rather than the date first hired, to determine the length of service for eligibility, enrollment, and rates. The adjusted service date can credit service for former employers, grandfathered benefits, or in the case of mergers and acquisitions.

  6. Change the date first hired. For employees who have previously worked for your enterprise, the Date First Hired field displays the start date of the employee's earliest, previous period of service. This date must be on or before the start date of the earliest period of service.

Entering Additional Assignment Details (Assignment Window)

Once you have set up basic assignment details, you can enter additional information, such as supervisor details, special ceiling progression points, and salary information, in the tabbed regions of the Assignment window. The tabbed regions that appear in the Assignment window vary according to person type and localization.

Note: For countries other than the US or UK, your Oracle localization team may have created additional fields in a tabbed region to hold legislatively required additional information.

To enter salary information for an employee

Using the Salary Administration window, you can enter a proposed salary change for an employee, associate this change with a performance review, and accept or revise the change later. To administer an employee's salary in this way, you first assign the employee to a salary basis in the Salary Information region.

  1. Choose the Salary Information tabbed region.

  2. Select a salary basis for the employee.

  3. You can also enter the frequency of salary and performance reviews.

    Warning: If you change an employee's salary basis to one that uses a different salary element, the employee's existing salary element entry ends. Using the Salary Administration window, you should make a new salary entry for the employee, effective from the date of the salary basis change.

    For more information about salary administration, see: Salary Administration, Managing Total Compensation Using Oracle HRMS

To enter supplier information for a contingent worker

You use the Supplier tabbed region to record information about the supplier providing the contingent worker to your enterprise. The procedure depends on whether you are using Oracle Services Procurement to provide purchase order information for contingent worker assignments.

If you are not using Oracle Services Procurement:

  1. Choose the Supplier tabbed region.

  2. Select the names of the supplier and the supplier site for the contingent worker.

  3. Enter supplier IDs for the contingent worker and the assignment, if available. These values identify the worker and the assignment to the supplier.

If you are using Oracle Services Procurement:

  1. Choose the Supplier tabbed region.

  2. Select a purchase order number for this assignment.

  3. If only one purchase order line exists, it appears in the Purchase Order Line field. Otherwise, select a purchase order line. Note that the Purchase Order Line field is enabled only when you select a purchase order.

  4. Information from the purchase order appears automatically in the Supplier Name and Supplier Site fields. If the purchase order line includes a job value, it replaces any value in the Job field.

  5. Enter supplier IDs for the contingent worker and the assignment, if available. These values identify the worker and the assignment to the supplier.

To enter supervisor information for an employee or contingent worker

  1. Choose the Supervisor tabbed region.

  2. Select the name and number of the worker's personal supervisor. If your organization uses assignment-based supervisor hierarchies, also enter the assignment number for the supervisor assignment. If you have already entered the supervisor name, the application displays a context-sensitive list of available assignments for the supervisor.

    You can select a contingent worker as a supervisor only if the HR: Expand Role of Contingent Worker user profile option is set to Yes.

    You can select a supervisor from another Business Group if the HR:Cross Business Group user profile option is set to Yes at your site.

    Note: The application does not update this information. Use organization and position hierarchies to show management reporting lines.

To enter probation period and notice information for an employee

The probation period defaults from the employee's position.

  1. Choose the Probation and Notice Period tabbed region.

  2. Amend the default probation period for your employee's assignment, if required.

  3. Enter the notice period for the assignment, if required.

To enter standard conditions information for an employee or contingent worker

The standard work day information (apart from the Hourly/Salaried field) defaults from the position. If standard conditions are not defined for the position, they default from the organization or Business Group.

  1. Choose the Standard Conditions tabbed region.

  2. Amend the standard work day information for your employee or contingent worker assignment, if required.

  3. Enter the working percentage.

  4. For an intermittent employee, enter the number of days in a week that the employee works. The application uses this information to calculate the applicable holiday pay.

  5. This step is for employees only. For benefit administration, enter whether the assignment is hourly or salaried.

    Note: If you are setting up benefits based on salaried or hourly pay you must set up the Hourly/Salaried field in addition to the Pay Basis. The Pay Basis identifies how pay is quoted within Salary Administration and enables an employee to have their pay quoted as hourly, but be paid a salary. Therefore, for benefits, you need to set up whether your employee is paid hourly or receives a salary.

To enter statutory information

  1. Choose the Statutory Information tabbed region.

  2. Select the local unit. You must assign an employee to a local unit.

    Caution: Reassigning the employee to a different local unit at a later date is a significant change. It may affect your payroll balances.

  3. Select whether the employee is an embassy official or a foreign employee.

  4. Select whether the employee is the CEO of the organization.

  5. Select whether the employee is an owner or a joint owner.

  6. Select an agreement code.

  7. Select a division code.

To enter primary or secondary assignment and miscellaneous information for an employee or contingent worker

  1. Choose the Miscellaneous tabbed region.

  2. Enter the internal address details (such as the floor or office number), if required. The system adds the details to the location address.

  3. Select a reason for adding or changing the assignment. For example, you can use the Reason field to record promotions for your employees. You define valid reasons as values for the lookup types Reason for Change to Employee Assignment (EMP_ASSIGN_REASON) for employees and Contingent Worker Assignment Reasons (CWK_ASSIGN_REASON) for contingent workers.

  4. Select the Manager box if the assignment is at manager level and you want to include this worker in the Organization Hierarchy Report as a manager. (You can select Manager for a contingent worker assignment only if the HR: Expand Role of Contingent Worker user profile option is set to Yes.)

  5. By default, the first assignment entered is the primary assignment, and the Primary box is automatically checked. If you are now entering a secondary assignment, you must ensure that the Primary box is unchecked.

    Check the Primary check box to update a secondary assignment to Primary.

    See: Changing Primary Assignments, Managing Your Workforce Using Oracle HRMS

  6. If you use Oracle Services Procurement to provide purchase order information for contingent worker assignments, the purchase order line may include the projected assignment end date. In this case, the date appears in the Projected Assignment End field. Otherwise, enter the projected end date of the assignment.

To enter special ceiling information for an employee

A special ceiling progression point is the highest point to which the Increment Progression Points process can automatically progress the employee.

  1. Choose the Special Ceiling tabbed region.

  2. Enter a special ceiling only if the employee is assigned to a grade, and if a grade scale is defined for this grade. This special ceiling overrides the ceiling defined for the grade scale.

To enter a billing title for an employee or contingent worker (Oracle Projects only)

  1. Choose the Project Information tabbed region.

    Note: The Project Information tabbed region displays only if you have installed Oracle Projects.

To enter bargaining unit and union membership information for an employee

  1. Choose the Bargaining Unit tabbed region.

  2. Enter a bargaining unit code for your employee's assignment. This is usually the legally recognized collective negotiating organization.

    Note: You set up your different bargaining units as values for the Lookup type BARGAINING_UNIT_CODE

  3. Select whether the employee associated with the assignment is a member of a union.

  4. Enter the type of holiday pay agreement.

To enter employment terms for an employee

  1. Choose the Employment Terms tabbed region.

  2. Select the contract to be referenced by the assignment. The list of contracts is limited to those entered for the employee that have start dates on or before the assignment start date.

  3. Select the agreement grade structure for the collective agreement. A window shows the grade factors for that grade structure.

  4. Enter values for the grade factors. Or, choose the Combinations button and enter search criteria for one or more grade factors to display the reference grades that meet those criteria.

    If you enter values directly into the grade factor fields, they must correspond to an existing reference grade unless the Override Allowed check box in the Agreement Grades window is checked.

    Note: Any new combinations of values that you enter are unavailable for reuse with other assignments. To reuse a combination, you must define it as a reference grade in the Agreement Grades window.

To enter employment information

You use the employment information for statutory reporting.

  1. Choose the Employment Information tabbed region.

  2. Select the SSYK skills code.

  3. Enter the work title. You use this information to classify employees by the work they perform and the skills they possess.

To enter assignment termination information

You use this information when you want to terminate one of the assignments.

Important: To terminate an assignment, the employee must have more than one assignment. For more information on ending an assignment, see: Ending an Assignment

To enter end assignment details

  1. Enter the date of notification to the employee.

  2. Enter the date of assignment termination.

  3. Enter the reason for termination.

  4. Enter the date till when the employee can claim precedence to re-employment.

Ending an Assignment (Assignment Window)

An employee must always have one active assignment. If an employee has multiple assignments you can end any of their individual assignments by selecting an assignment status of End or Terminate in the Assignment window as long as at least one assignment remains active. If you want to end all employee assignments at the same time you use the Termination window. An employee does not become an ex-employee until you have terminated their last assignment.

The following information explains how to use the Assignment window to end multiple assignments.

To end one of several assignments

  1. Query the assignment you want to end.

  2. Set your effective date to the actual termination date for the assignment.

  3. Update the assignment status to End or Terminate Process Assignment (or the equivalent user status on your system) in the Status field:

    • Use Terminate Process Assignment (with a Payroll system status of Process) if further pay processing of the assignment is required after the date the assignment ends. This leaves the assignment's final processing date open so that further processing can occur.

      It is often best to use this status, so that you can process any necessary adjustments to the final pay for the assignment.

    • Use End (with a Payroll system status of Do Not Process) if all pay processing for the assignment is finished. This makes your effective date the assignment's final processing date, after which no further processing for the assignment can occur.

    The End status is not recorded on the assignment. It causes the assignment to end as of the effective date of entry of this status.

    Note: To temporarily prevent pay processing for this assignment, use the status Terminate Assignment (with a Payroll system status of Do Not Process). When no further processing is required and you are ready to set a final processing date, update the status to End.

  4. Choose the End Assignment tabbed region.

  5. Enter the notification and assignment termination dates. You can use these dates to calculate the notice period.

  6. Select the termination reason.

Ending Employment

If an employee is leaving your enterprise or agency, you terminate him or her in the Terminate window.

The ex-employee's records remain in the application. You can reinstate, or rehire, the person to create a new period of service.

Be aware that many Oracle Applications work with employees as of dates in the future. This means that any future date terminations you enter here will be reflected and the employee with the future dated termination will not be available in such cases. You should take this into account when dealing with terminations where the end date is a sensitive piece of information.

The Final Process date is the last date on which you can process payments for a terminated employee, if you are using Oracle Payroll. To process unanticipated late payments or to make corrections, you can change the Final Process date, provided the new date does not conflict with other information held for the employee.

See: Updating an Employee's Final Process Date, Oracle HRMS Workforce Sourcing, Deployment, and Talent Management Guide

Note: If you perform a back-to-back rehire an ex-employee person type will not be recorded for the employee's first period of service. This is because there is no period of time when the employee exists as an ex-employee.

See: Rehiring an Ex-Employee, Oracle HRMS Workforce Sourcing, Deployment, and Talent Management Guide

You can also reverse a termination reinstating elements assigned to the employee prior to termination action being taken.

See: Canceling a Termination, Oracle HRMS Workforce Sourcing, Deployment, and Talent Management Guide

Note: If you mistakenly add someone to the application or you want to remove all records for an ex-employee, you can delete the person in the Delete Person window. However, you cannot delete an employee whom Oracle Payroll has processed in a payroll run.

See: Deleting a Person from the System, Oracle HRMS Workforce Sourcing, Deployment, and Talent Management Guide

If you mistakenly hire an applicant, you can cancel the hire in the Person window.

To terminate an employee

  1. Optionally, enter the reason for the termination. You can define valid reasons as values for the Lookup Type LEAV_REAS.

    Note: When you enter the termination reason of deceased and an actual termination date, if an employee's date of death has not been entered in the Other Information tabbed region of the People window, it is set to the actual termination date.

    The total substitute service period displays the employee's length of service as a substitute. You use this information to decide whether an employee is eligible to become a permanent employee.

  2. Enter the termination dates. Only the Actual date is required. This is the date when the employee's person type changes. The Notified and Projected dates are for information only.

    For the Final Process date:

    • If you need to process pay for the employee after his or her termination, set the Final Process date later than the Actual date, or leave it blank.

    • If you do not need to continue processing, set the Final Process date to the Actual date.

    Note: The Final Process field is enabled at all times, you can change the value subject to other information held for the employee.

    Note: If you are an Oracle Payroll user, you must also enter a Last Standard Process Date. This is the last date for normal processing, while the Final Process date is the last date for late payments. Element entries are closed down on the Last Standard Process Date, the Actual date, or Final Process date, depending on how you have defined the elements.

  3. Select a terminated user person type in the Type field.

    Note: The Type field is only enabled when the Actual date is entered for the first time. When you enable the Type field it is populated by the default value for your system person type of Ex-employee.

    The person type you select is assigned to the person's record following termination. The person type is displayed as the Actual date plus one day.

  4. Select a terminated assignment status in the Status field.

    Note: The Status field is only enabled when the Actual date is entered, the Final Process has not been entered or the Final Process date has been entered but is different to the Actual date. When you enable the Status field it is populated by a default value.

    The terminated assignment status you select is used for the primary assignment. This assignment status is displayed as the Actual date plus one day. If you update the primary assignment status the termination window will still display the status as the Actual date plus one day.

  5. When the information is complete, choose the Terminate button to complete the termination.

Contact Information

Contact Information Overview

Oracle HRMS enables you to record the ways in which you communicate with the people in your enterprise and the people whom they have a relationship with, such as an employee's partner.

Entering People as Contacts

You enter people as contact records to identify:

Entering Contact Information

Entering contact information includes entering contact details for the people in your enterprise, such as their home address. As an employer, you need to record contact details so that you can contact people either by email, phone, fax or post, and for reporting purposes. For example, in the Netherlands you must record a person's house number for social insurance reporting.

Uploading the Postal Code File

The post office information identifies the employee's tax municipality. You need to upload the post office information you receive from the Swedish authorities to display the postal code in the employee's address correctly.

To upload the postal code file

  1. Convert the post office file that you receive from the Swedish authorities to a text file (with extension .txt).

  2. Place the converted file in a directory readable by the database. The profile HR: Data Exchange defines the directory. This is a system administration task.

  3. Choose the Single Request option.

  4. Query the Swedish Postal Code Upload request in the Submit Request window.

  5. Enter the name of the post office file that contains all the post office details.

  6. Submit the request.
