Overview of Employee Gratuity Details for Kuwait
The Employee Gratuity Details card stores all information required to calculate and process the gratuity payment, such as gratuity override amount and payment date.
The Employee Gratuity Details card is created automatically upon employee termination and the gratuity amount calculated. When the gratuity card is created, the Gratuity Details card component, Kuwait Employee Gratuity Details component detail, and card association are also created.
Considerations and Prerequisites
If the product license is set to Payroll or Payroll Interface, Employee Gratuity Details cards are automatically created upon employee termination. There might be cases where this information needs to be loaded in bulk:
During data migration:
Employee Gratuity Details information must exist into Oracle Fusion Payroll to ensure that values are calculated correctly. If HCM Data Loader is used to migrated employee termination records, a default Employee Gratuity Details card is automatically created. For historical reasons, you might wish to upload gratuity calculation cards to record the Last Gratuity Payment Date for a previous employment.
Ongoing bulk updates:
- When you bulk load employee terminations, a default Employee Gratuity Details calculation card might be generated automatically (if the terminations records are created using HCM Data Loader). In this case, you need to update the default card with the correct gratuity information. Also if needed, create a component detail record to store a gratuity override amount.
It is recommended to have a good understanding of the Employee Gratuity Details card and the information it contains before attempting mass upload as it has a direct impact on calculations and reporting. For further information, see Oracle Fusion HRMS (Kuwait): Payroll Implementation and Functional Considerations (Document ID 1663730.1).
