Groups

The Group Build feature is the standard way to create groups of people in HCM. This feature enables you to define specific criteria using various records and fields. For example, you can define group criteria using fields from tables like Job Data, Employment Data, and Compensation.

You could also define a group that includes everyone in departments 10200 through 10500, where the Compensation Rate Code is equal to NAANNL.

Eligible participants for a compensation cycle are primarily determined by the group ID that you specify on the Compensation Cycle Definition page.

The Compensation Cycle Build process calls the Group Build process for the group ID on your Compensation Cycle definition. For each employee returned by the Group Build process, the Compensation Cycle Build process prepares and calculates funding for the Salary and Variable Compensation plans that you have associated to your Compensation Cycle definition.
