Using the Group Build Feature

The Group Build feature provides a standard way to create groups of people in HCM. Once you've created a group, you can use it for a variety of purposes.

You might want to apply a business process to a group of individuals that crosses job, department, or even company lines. For example, you might want to offer a special bonus plan to your organization's research and development teams. The group includes everyone in departments 10200 though 10500. Using the Group Build feature, you can create a group consisting of departments 10200 through 10500 and administer the group's incentive plan using the Variable Compensation module. Later, someone else can administer salary increases to the same group using the Base Compensation and Budgets module. You define the group only once.

You can define groups in Group Build and use those groups in HCM applications such as:

• PeopleSoft Time and Labor

• PeopleSoft Benefits Administration

• PeopleSoft Stock Administration

• ePerformance

• The following PeopleSoft Human Resources business processes:

  • Manage Base Compensation and Budgeting

  • Manage Total Rewards

  • Manage Variable Compensation

  • Manage Labor Administration
