Overview of Employee GOSI Details for Saudi Arabia

The Employee GOSI Details card stores all information required to accurately compute social insurance contributions, such as employee details, annuity information, and reference salary.

One Employee GOSI Details card must be created for every Saudi Arabia employee and Tax Reporting Unit (TRU) that the employee belongs to.

Considerations and Prerequisites

If the product license is set to Payroll or Payroll Interface, Employee GOSI Details cards are automatically created when a new employee is entered using the New Hire task with a set of values specified at the person level, such as citizenship and GOSI number. Only the Employee GOSI Details card component is auto-generated. You populate the component details if you need to supply override values. There can be cases where this information needs to be loaded in bulk:

During data migration:

Employee GOSI Details information must be uploaded into Oracle Fusion Payroll, to ensure that contributions are calculated correctly. If HCM Data Loader is used to migrate employee records, a default Employee GOSI Details card is automatically created. In most cases, the default won’t reflect the employee’s actual GOSI information, and therefore the card must be updated.

Ongoing bulk updates:

  • When you bulk load New Hire information, a default Employee GOSI Details card can be automatically generated (if the new hire records are created through HCM Data Loader or the interface with Taleo). In this case, you need to update the default card with the correct GOSI information.

It is recommended to have a good understanding of the Employee GOSI Details card and the information it contains before attempting mass upload as it has a direct impact on statutory deductions and reporting. For further information, see Oracle Fusion HRMS (Saudi Arabia): Payroll Implementation and Functional Considerations (Document ID 1619159.1).
