Legislative Data Groups

Legislative data groups are a means of partitioning payroll and related data. At least one legislative data group is required for each country where the enterprise operates.

Legislative Data Groups (LDG) are used to determine the legislation for Legal Employers. A Legislative Data Group is a combination of a legislation, currency, and costing structure.

You need to map the Legislative Data Group to a Payroll Statutory Unit so that all payroll objects such as elements, payrolls, payment methods, etc. are created within the context of an LDG. Each legislative data group is associated with one or more payroll statutory units. Each payroll statutory unit can belong to only one legislative data group.

Payroll related information, such as elements, is organized by legislative data group. Each legislative data group:

• Marks a legislation in which payroll is processed.

• Is associated with a legislative code, currency, and its own cost allocation key flexfield structure.

• Is a boundary that can share the same set up and still comply with the local laws.

• Can span many jurisdictions as long as they're within one country.

• Can contain many legal entities that act as payroll statutory units.
