Overview

A payroll relationship represents the association between a person and a payroll statutory unit (PSU). A PSU is the legal entity responsible for employee payment. Payroll relationships group a person's employment assignment records based on the payroll statutory calculation and reporting requirements. Payroll relationships

Payroll processing always occurs at the payroll relationship level. When you display the payroll process results for a person, you first select the person's payroll relationship record and then drill down to view details.

Payroll relationships aggregate balances at the payroll relationship level. Within a payroll relationship, payroll processes can aggregate balances for multiple assignment records. Balances don't span payroll relationships.

Create Payroll Relationship Records

You establish a mapping between system person types and the payroll relationship types. Certain processes, such as the rehire process, use this mapping to automatically create a payroll relationship record. You must use the payroll relationship types predefined in the application. You can't create your own payroll relationship types.

This table shows the predefined payroll relationship types.

Payroll Relationship Type	Description
Standard	Person types mapped to this payroll relationship type are included in payroll runs.
Element Entries Only	Person types mapped to this payroll relationship type have only element entries created for them and are excluded from payroll processing.

Relationship mapping rules, which map system person types to payroll relationship types, can vary by country or territory. This table shows the mapping between system person types and payroll relationship types, that are applicable for China.

System Person Type	Payroll Relationship Type
Employee	Standard
Retiree	Element Entries Only
Volunteer	Element Entries Only
Pensioner	Element Entries Only
Benefit Nonworker	Element Entries Only
Nonworker	Element Entries Only
Contingent Worker	Element Entries Only
Pending Contingent Worker	Pending Worker Element Entries Only
Pending Employee	Pending Worker Standard
Contingent Worker Candidate	Candidate Element Entries Only
Employee Candidate	Candidate Standard

For China, the system person types that are mapped to the "Element Entries Only" payroll relationship type are excluded from payroll processing.

The mapping rules are predefined for legislations provided by Oracle. You can't create your own payroll relationship types and you must use the values that are predefined in the application.

A payroll relationship can't end while there are active employment assignments. When all employment assignments are ended for a payroll relationship, it could either remain active or become end dated. It depends on the legislation and the payroll relationship rules applicable for the legislation. For China, relationships that remain active, enable future rehire within the same payroll relationship and PSU.
