You represent your enterprise using key organization structures in Oracle HRMS. These structures provide the framework so you can perform legal reporting, financial control, and management reporting. You can set up these organization structures yourself, or use the Configuration Workbench.
The Configuration Workbench delivers an integrated configuration management toolset for HR systems and assists in the evaluation, configuration, deployment, and maintenance of HR applications. The workbench suggests a basic structure of organizations for your enterprise based on configuration models.
See: Configuration Models for Your Enterprise Framework, Oracle HRMS Enterprise and Workforce Management Guide
Once the basic enterprise structure is set up, you add the additional organizations and locations that exist in your enterprise. You define the internal organizations that represent your internal divisions and departments, and you define the external organizations that represent the organizations outside of your enterprise. For example, you can set up an external organization to represent the tax office for which your enterprise uses for reporting purposes.
You can use organizations to represent many levels of your enterprise, from the highest level of organization that represents the whole enterprise, to the lowest level of organization that represents a section or department.
See: Extending the Enterprise Framework, Oracle HRMS Enterprise and Workforce Management Guide
See: Organization Classifications
The business group represents a country in which your enterprise operates. You create it as an organization in Oracle HRMS, but it does not represent a specific organization within your enterprise structure, and you do not include it in your organization hierarchies. A business group enables you to group and manage data in accordance with the rules and reporting requirements of each country, and to control access to data.
The critical factors for deciding when to use a separate business group, or an international business group, are based on the following factors:
If you use Oracle Payroll
The number of people you employ in a country
If you require legislative support for Oracle HR
Generally the laws are so different in each country that to be compliant, there must be a different business group for each country in which an enterprise has employees.
An operating company represents a division or line of business within your enterprise that is legally registered for reporting in at least one country. An operating company is a holding company, a company within a company.
The ultimate legal entity represents the enterprise, and typically, the enterprise is the highest (global) level of a business organization. The ultimate legal entity is the parent company or organization for all its subsidiaries and divisions. Oracle HRMS represents the ultimate legal entity with the GRE/Legal Entity organization classification.
A legal entity represents the designated legal employer for all employment-related activities. The legal authorities in a country recognize this organization as a separate employer. In an organization hierarchy, a legal entity may report to an operating company or to the ultimate legal entity.
A legal employer is a legal entity that is responsible for employing people in a particular country. Therefore, if you employ people in a country, then you must have at least one organization classified as a legal entity and a legal employer.
The Configuration Workbench classifies an organization as a GRE/Legal Entity where your enterprise operates in a country, and classifies it as an Employer if you employ people in that country also. For example, you can have a legal entity in a country where you do business, but do not employ people in that country.
A consolidated legal entity acts on behalf of multiple operating companies that are not legally registered, or simply on behalf of the enterprise in a country. You typically use the consolidated legal entity for when you have multiple operating companies in your enterprise, but for the purposes of consolidation, you group the information into one organization. For management reporting purposes, the organizations below the consolidated legal entity in an organization hierarchy, such as, your departments and sections, can report to any organization in the enterprise. However, for legal reporting purposes, they report up to the consolidated legal entity.
For information on how to model your enterprise using the key organization structures, see: Configuration Models for Your Enterprise Framework, Oracle HRMS Enterprise and Workforce Management Guide
Organization classifications define the purpose of an organization and its functionality within Oracle HRMS. The classifications you assign to an organization control the additional information you can set up at the organization level. The Configuration Workbench automatically assigns the appropriate classifications to the organizations it creates.
For more information on the key organization structures you use to represent your enterprise, see: Key Concepts for Representing Enterprises
You can define one organization with multiple classifications or you can define separate organizations to represent different types of entity. For example, you can classify an organization as a legal entity as well as an HR organization if it's the same organization. If they are different, then you create two organizations.
Note: Oracle HRMS enables you to install your own additional information types for classifications.
You can select the following classifications in the Organization window, depending on your legislation:
All legislations can use the following classifications:
Business Group: Use this classification to group, manage, and control access to data in accordance with the rules and reporting requirements of a country.
Operating Company: An operating company represents a division or line of business within your enterprise that is legally registered for reporting in at least one country.
GRE/Legal Entity: Use this classification to represent the following organizations:
Ultimate Legal Entity: this represents the enterprise, and typically, the enterprise is the highest (global) level of a business organization.
Legal Entity: this represents the designated legal employer for all employment-related activities. The legal authorities in a country recognize this organization as a separate employer. In an organization hierarchy, a legal entity may report to an operating company or to the ultimate legal entity.
Consolidated Legal Entity: this organization acts on behalf of multiple operating companies that are not legally registered, or simply on behalf of the enterprise in a country.
For Chinese users only: Your organization hierarchy must contain at least one GRE with corporate and employer information. Statutory reporting requires this information.
Employer: Use this along with the GRE/Legal Entity classification to define an organization as a legal entity that is responsible for employing people in a particular country.

If you are assigning this classification to a Business Group, you must assign it to your default Business Group, that is the one defined in your security profile. If you do not, then your data will not be visible when you attempt to create your hierarchy in the Generic Hierarchy window.
Benefits Carrier, Workers' Compensation Carrier, or Beneficiary Organization: Use these when defining an external organization belonging in one of these classifications. You can then select the organization when defining a benefit, entering information for Workers' Compensation calculations, or recording beneficiaries employees have named for certain benefits.

You set up organizations to represent your enterprise structure in Oracle HRMS. To find out what organizations you require for your enterprise, see: Key Concepts for Representing Enterprises
Once you define your basic enterprise structure, you create the additional organizations and locations to represent the internal divisions or departments, and the external organizations for reporting or third-party payments.
See: Extending the Enterprise Framework, Oracle HRMS Enterprise and Workforce Management Guide
Create your locations. You define each location and address once only.
See: Setting Up Locations, Oracle HRMS Enterprise and Workforce Management Guide
Create your organizations.
Tip: To simplify your data-entry, consider using a fixed date as a default for your initial setup, for example, 01-JAN-1951.
Enter the appropriate classifications for each organization.
Enter details for any extra information types.
See: Entering Additional Information, Oracle HRMS Enterprise and Workforce Management Guide
Use the Organization window to create:
Business groups
External organizations (for example, tax offices, pension providers, insurance carriers, disability organizations, benefit carriers, or recruitment agencies)
Internal organizations (for example, departments, sections or cost centers)
GREs/Legal Entities
If you use the Configuration Workbench to configure your enterprise structure, then you only need to create the additional internal and external organizations you require. For example, you can set up additional organizations to represent the internal divisions or departments, and external organizations for reporting or third party payments.
See: Extending the Enterprise Framework, Oracle HRMS Enterprise and Workforce Management Guide
To create an organization
Navigate to the Organization window and click New to create a new organization.
Note: For information about querying existing organizations, see: Finding an Organization, Oracle HRMS Enterprise and Workforce Management Guide
Enter a name for your organization in the Name field. A check is performed to see if organizations with the same name already exist.
All Oracle applications you install share the information entered in the Organization window. Therefore organization names must be unique within a business group, and business group names must be unique across your applications network.
You can create two organizations with the same name in different business groups but this can cause confusion later, if the HR: Cross business group profile option is set to Yes and you decide to share certain information across all business groups. If you decide to create two organizations with the same name, be sure that this will not cause you problems in the future.
Optionally, select an organization type in the Type field.
Organization types do not classify your organization, you use them for reporting purposes only. The type may identify the function an organization performs, such as Administration or Service, or the level of each organization in your enterprise, such as Division, Department or Cost Center. You create the organization types you require by entering values for the Lookup Type ORG_TYPE.
Enter a start date in the From field. This should be early enough to include any historical information you need to enter.
Note: You cannot assign an employee to an organization before the start date of the organization.
Enter a location, if one exists. You can also enter an internal address to add more details such as floor or office number.
Dutch only: If you are setting up external organizations for a tax office, a social insurance provider or a private health insurance provider, you must enter the postal address and contact details using the NL_POSTAL_ADDRESS Location EIT.
Mexico only: When defining a GRE/Legal Entity, if you select a location here, HRMS automatically associates it with this GRE in the Generic Hierarchy.
US only: If you are using Oracle Payroll in the US, every organization to which employees can have assignments, including business groups, must have on record a location with a complete address. This is because the system uses the location of the organization of the employee's primary assignment to determine employee work locations for tax purposes. This does not apply to GREs, because the assignment to a GRE exists in addition to the assignment to an organization.
India only: You can define an income tax organization and enter its location details. You can then select this organization at the GRE/Legal Entity Income Tax Office.
Note: If you are an Oracle Inventory user, then you must not assign a location to more than one organization classified as an Inventory Organization.
Enter internal or external in the Internal or External field. You cannot assign people to an external organization.
Examples of external organizations that may require entry are disability organizations, benefits carriers, insurance carriers, organizations that employees name as beneficiaries of certain employee benefits, and organizations that are recipients of third party payments from employees' pay.
Save the basic organization details.
To determine the purpose and use of each organization you create, you give it one or more classifications. The setup information you enter for an organization depends in large part on its classification.
See: Organization Classifications
Note: If you classify an organization as a business group, it is not reversible.
To enter organization classifications:
Enter the classification for your organization in the Name field.
Enable the classification by checking the Enable box. This allows you to use and enter the essential additional information for your organization.
Save the classification details.

Note: You can configure this segment only at Business Group level.
For Canada only:This field is not applicable.
Select either Payslip View Date or Date Paid to configure the date to be used for displaying Online Payslips. If this field is left blank or if the Payslip View Date is selected then the online payslip will be displayed based on the Payslip View Date that is defined for the payroll period. If Date Paid is selected, then the payslip will be displayed based on the Date Paid of the payroll run.
Note: By default, Payslip View Date – Check Date for any period will be equal to the Payslip offset defined for the payroll. However, if the user manually changes these dates for any period, then the Payslip Offset for that period will be considered as the Payslip View Date – Check Date and not the Offset defined for the Payroll.
Further, if the Payslip View Date and/or the Payslip Offset is set to null, then all payslips (prior, current and future) will be available to the employee. (By default, the Payslip Offset is set to zero when defining a payroll.)

You define roles to represent the ways that different groups of employees work. In Oracle HRMS you can use jobs or positions, or a combination, to define roles.
Job: A job is a generic role within a Business Group, which is independent of any single organization. For example, the jobs Manager and Consultant can occur in many organizations. You can also use jobs to set up supplementary roles that an employee might hold, for example, fire warden, or health and safety officer. You can distinguish these supplementary roles from other jobs by using Job Groups.
Position: A position is a specific occurrence of one job, fixed within one organization. For example, the position Finance Manager would be an instance of the job of Manager in the Finance organization. The position belongs to the organization. There may be one, many, or no holders of a position at any time.
In a large structured organization, you may have a permanent establishment of positions for most of your employees.
However, you may also have groups of employees hired to perform specific tasks. This can be on a temporary or a permanent basis. Staff in this category can include agency workers, consultants and contractors. For these staff, you can define the role more flexibly as a job.
When you plan how to model your organizations and roles, consider the following points:
Positions are normally used in role-based enterprise structures where clearly defined rules largely determine the ways employees work, and the compensation and benefits they receive.
To manage fixed establishments of posts that exist independently of the employee assignment, it is best to use positions.
If you decide to use positions to represent your enterprise structures you need to consider carefully how to use organizations.
Positions provide you with a finer degree of structural definition and control than organizations on their own. You can use both organizations and positions to represent your reporting structures. However, if you define both, you must also maintain both over time. This may lead you into duplication of effort and information.
Tip: If you decide to use positions to represent how people work in your enterprise, it is best to define most of the detail at the level of the position. Do not duplicate this detail in organization structures.
Use organizations to show your highest level of departments or divisions. Use positions and position hierarchies to show the reporting groups existing in your enterprise.
If you use positions to define roles, you can use Oracle's position and budget functionality to stay within budget and adjust position expenditures or budgets in response to changes in organizations, personnel, and funding sources. You can also use Oracle Workflow for routing position definitions and budgets for approval, and configure predefined business rules that perform necessary validations. See: Position Control, Oracle HRMS Enterprise and Workforce Management Guide.
As you define roles in your enterprise you can describe their responsibilities, requirements, and working conditions. This can be done in a number of ways:
For positions you can enter the location, probation period and working hours in the standard fields. Entering location and working hours for an organization provides a default for all positions within that organization.
You can attach documents, for example, text describing the objectives and tasks of the job or position, to each record.
You can add up to twenty additional fields to each window in a descriptive flexfield. These fields can be global (they always appear) or context-sensitive (they appear only when triggered by another piece of information). For example, you could set up fields to record the health and safety requirements of a position, or its suitability for job share.
You can add any number of Extra Information Types (EITs). This would enable you to set up fields to hold information to which only users with certain responsibilities would have access. For example, you could set up fields only to be used by managers.
You can enter competencies against both jobs and positions. Then, using the suitability matching tool, you can match employees' competencies to those required by a job or position. This enables you to identify training needs or rank potential successors. You can also enter which position is the planned successor for each position in your enterprise.
Each job is held in a job group. The job group is used to store jobs of a similar type together in one group. All standard jobs created in Oracle HRMS, that is, those jobs that define the role the person is employed to fulfil, must be stored in the Default HR Job Group. This job group is automatically created for your business group is given the same display name as the business group. The internal name for the job group is of the format HR_<Business_Group_ID>, for example HR_2273.
Only jobs entered in the Default HR Job Group will be available in other windows in Oracle HRMS such as Position, Competencies, or Assignment. The only windows within Oracle HRMS that can access jobs outside of the Default HR Job Group are the Supplementary Roles window and the Elections window.
You can set up additional job groups to store supplementary roles that your employees might fulfil. These would be performed in addition to the roles described above and could be as a result of company defined initiatives like fire warden, or defined by legislation such as health and safety representative.
See: Workers' Representation and Supplementary Roles, Oracle HRMS Enterprise and Workforce Management Guide
You can also set up job groups to be used by Oracle Projects.
The way in which your enterprise uses job groups will depend on the setting of the HR:Cross Business Group profile option. If this is set to Y then you can create global job groups that can be accessed by all business groups on your system. If it is set to N then you can only create job groups for use within your business group.
Note: The HR Default Job Group is business group specific and therefore all jobs held within it are only available within your business group. Global job groups only apply to supplementary roles within Oracle HRMS, and Oracle Projects.
You use the Job window to define jobs, the skills that workers require, and the grades to which they can be assigned. You can also enter job evaluation scores, if you have set up a job evaluation system.
You can also enter supplementary roles in the Job window. You can record information about any roles an employee holds which are not part of the employee's contract; for example, fire warden or health and safety representative.
If you intend loading historic assignment details into Oracle HRMS, ensure you enter valid start dates for your jobs. You cannot assign an employee to a job before the start date of the job.
Tip: Consider using a fixed date as a default for your initial setup, for example, 01-JAN-1901. This simplifies your data entry.
To define a job:
Enter a start date early enough to handle any historical information you want to enter.
Select the required job group. This defaults to the Default HR Job Group for your Business Group and should not be changed unless you want to enter a job that describes a supplementary role to a person's normal employment, such as a fire warden or health and safety representative, or you are setting up a job to be used in Oracle Projects.
Only jobs entered in the Default HR Job Group will be available in other windows in Oracle HRMS such as Position, Competencies, or Assignment. The only windows within Oracle HRMS that can access jobs outside of the Default HR Job Group are the Supplementary Roles window and the Elections window.
Enter a unique name for the job. If there is at least one enabled segment in the Job Name flexfield, a window opens when you enter the Name field. You must enter a unique combination of segments in this window.
The flexfield that opens is dependent on the Job Group you have selected.
Enter a numerical approval authority value to define an approval level for incumbents of this job. This value is used by Oracle Approvals Management to determine whether a person has sufficient authority to approve a transaction.
Indicate whether the job carries any additional employment rights or is a benchmark job. A benchmark job is one that can be used to represent a number of jobs in reports such as salary surveys.
Save your work and do not complete any further steps, if you are entering a supplementary role.
Select a benchmark job, if required.
Note: For Indian users only: In the Further Job Information field, select the classification of the job, such as highly skilled or skilled. This is used for information purposes only.
Save the job. You can now enter further information for the job you have defined. Note that you can only enter some types of further information, such as valid grades or work choices, for jobs defined in the Default HR Job Group.
Choose Evaluation to enter evaluation information and an overall evaluation score for the job.
See: Entering Evaluation Information, Oracle HRMS Enterprise and Workforce Management Guide
If you are using suitability matching, then enter your competencies using the Competence Requirements window.
See: Defining Competency Requirements, Oracle HRMS Workforce Sourcing, Deployment, and Talent Management Guide
Choose Requirements to enter job requirements, such as required qualifications or valid experience, to help you match people to roles.
See: Entering Job and Position Requirements, Oracle HRMS Enterprise and Workforce Management Guide
Choose Valid Grades to enter the grades to which workers can be assigned.

Choose Extra Information to enter job categories for the job. You can link as many categories as you need to a job.
Mexico only: You must click this button and specify a Social Security Salary Type for this job.
Note: If you have Oracle Projects installed, you can enter further information in the Extra Job Information flexfield.
See: Implementing Resource Utilization, Oracle Project Resource Management Implementation and Administration Guide.
You can investigate the job categories in your enterprise using HRMS Intelligence.
Enter any additional types of job information for your enterprise.
Note: You can only access job categories and other types of Extra Information if your system administrator has set them up for your responsibility.
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.
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:
When the assessment took place, and the organization and person who performed it.
The result of the assessment, for example, if a disability was identified.
If the purpose of the assessment is to evaluate a particular disability, whether the person is considered fit for work.
Any work incident that was the reason for this assessment.
A person can have multiple medical assessment records. For example, a person may have a recruitment medical and several annual medicals.
Using the datetracked Disabilities window, you can enter information about a person's disabilities. For example, you can record:
The nature and severity of the disability
The full-time equivalent that this person represents towards your enterprise's quota of disabled employees
The details of the registration of this disability with an official organization
Any work incident that was the cause of this disability
The medical assessment that first identified this disability.
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.
Oracle HRMS enables you to record work incidents, for example, accidents, that involve the people in your enterprise. Work incidents are incidents that occur:
at work
on the way to or from work
in other circumstances that are defined as work-related by your enterprise.
Using the Work Incidents window, you can record:
The details of the incident, for example, when and where it occurred.
The health and safety official and/or representative body that were notified of the incident
Medical details, such as any injury occurred, treatment given, and medical organizations involved
Whether any compensation was paid
Whether this person was absent as a result of the incident
The job the person was doing when the incident occurred
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:
A work incident that occurred
The medical assessment that was required as a result of the work incident
The disability record that was required as a result of a "Disability" result in the medical assessment
The subsequent "Disability type" medical assessments that were required to evaluate the disability on a regular basis
The "Start" boxes show the points at which you can start the process, depending on the task you need to perform.
Recording a Disability
HRMS enables you to enter detailed disability information for the people in your enterprise.
You use the Disability window to enter this information.
Note: If you want to record that a person is registered as disabled, but you do not need to hold information about that disability, you can just check the Registered Disabled check box on the Personal tab in the Person window.
See: Entering a New Person (People Window)
To enter disability information
Set your effective date early enough to handle any historical disability information that you want to enter.
Note: If you want to associate this disability record with an existing medical assessment or work incident, your current effective date must be later than the assessment and incident dates. Ask your system administrator to enable the Work Incidents and Medical Assessments windows if they are not available.
Select the category of disability, for example, Severely Disabled.
Enter into the FTE field the full-time equivalent that this person represents towards your enterprise's quota of disabled employees. If no quota scheme exists, then leave the default value as 1.00.
Note: You can enter a number that is greater than 1.00, depending on the level of disability.
The actual figure will normally be provided by the official disability organization.
Select the status of this disability information.
Active: This information will be included in reports. You cannot enter an Active status if the record has an end date.
Inactive: This information will not be included in reports.
Pending: This information is not yet complete because you entered it before you entered the medical assessment confirming this disability (where the consultation result was Disability.)
Closed: This information has an end date because the person no longer has this disability.
For Russian users only: Disability status is not applicable in Russia, so the Status field is not available to Russian users. Instead, select the type of disability. You can find this information in the disability certificate provided by the Office of Medical Examination. The application uses this information to calculate any tax benefits and deductions for the employee.
Select the reason for the disability, for example, Occupational Incident. If the disability was diagnosed as the result of a medical assessment, select Occupational Assessment.
Enter the percentage of disability as determined by the official assessment of this disability.
For Hungarian and Spanish users only: The degree of disability depends on the category of disability. For example, if the person's disability category states that the disability decreases the work capacity by 50%, enter 50 as the percentage.
Select the incident that is related to, or caused, this disability. The list of incidents is limited to incidents that occurred before the current effective date of this disability. When you select an incident, its date is displayed automatically.
Select the medical assessment that recorded this disability.
The list of assessments is limited to assessments that:
have a result of Disability
have a consultation date that is earlier than the current effective date of the disability
are not already linked to a disability record for this person
were linked to any incident that you selected in the previous step
To link an incident to an assessment, see: Entering Medical Assessments, Oracle HRMS Enterprise and Workforce Management Guide
