Basic Process to Integrate Global Payroll and Time and Labor

You can validate, approve, and transfer reported time to payroll for payment by integrating Oracle Fusion Cloud Global Payroll with Oracle Fusion Cloud Time and Labor.

  • You can find details about the payroll costing setup tasks in the Implementing Payroll Costing guide.
  • You can find details about the global payroll setup tasks in the Implementing Global Payroll guide.
  • The time and labor tasks are in the Setup and Maintenance work area. They're part of the Workforce Deployment offering, Time and Labor functional area.

Payroll Setup

Create the payroll costing and global payroll configurations that support your payroll and time management policies. Here are key requirements when integrating with Time and Labor.

  1. Configure payroll costing to let people allocate time to different cost segments. It will also let people override default cost segments on their time cards.
  2. Create elements to store payroll time types from the time card and to transfer time to payroll or a third-party application for processing.
  3. Create rate definitions to show default and payroll calculated rates on time cards and get overrides from time card entries.
  4. Create the relevant calculation value definitions to link elements and rate definitions.
  5. Confirm that the Employment page has the Time Card Required option selected for each person who reports time.

Time Entry and Collection Device Setup

Create the time entry configurations that support your time entry and payroll policies, as summarized in these diagrams. Here are some considerations when integrating with Global Payroll.

  • Make sure that dependent time card fields showing calculated rates provided by payroll populate new entries using the Based on payroll rate function.
  • You can use delivered payroll time card fields, such as Payroll Time Type and Assignment Number. If you don't have any changes to the delivered fields and display names, you can use the delivered payroll layout set.

The components and time categories make up the layouts of a layout set. Layouts include time entry, view, review, and approval notification layouts. They can also include calendar time entry, responsive UI, shift, cost overrides, and web clock layouts. A layout set and HCM groups make up worker time entry profiles.

Also, create the time collection device configurations, as appropriate.

Time Processing Setup

Create the time processing configurations that support your time processing and payroll policies, as summarized in the diagram. Here are some considerations to keep in mind when integrating with Global Payroll.

  • Repeating periods for reporting and approving time can be weekly or biweekly.
  • Approval periods need to match the reporting period so that the approval workflow tasks run as soon as people submit their time cards.
  • Payroll periods can be weekly, biweekly, semimonthly, or monthly.
