Element Classifications for UAE

Global payroll has defined a set of primary classifications and UAE localization has selected the ones that are applicable for the country.

Additionally a set of secondary classifications and subclassifications have been defined specifically.

Secondary classifications are used in the element template process to drive the questionnaire and also to create the element withthe needed characteristics.
Subclassifications are used to control balance feeds and identify a sub type of the particular classification.

All the classifications predefined for UAE are listed in the Oracle_Fusion_HRMS_UAE_Payroll_Data.xls on My Oracle Support (MOS).
