Overview of Employee Social Insurance Details for Qatar
The Employee Social Insurance Details card stores all information required to accurately compute social insurance contributions, such as employee details, annuity information and reference salary.
One Employee Social Insurance Details card must be created for every Qatar 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 Social Insurance 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 social insurance information. The Social Insurance Details card component is also auto-generated. You only populate the component details if you need to supply override values. There may be cases where this information needs to be loaded in bulk:
During data migration:
- Employee Social Insurance 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 Social Insurance card is automatically created. In most cases, the default won’t reflect the employee’s actual Social Insurance information, and therefore the card must be updated.
Ongoing bulk updates:
- When you bulk load New Hire information, a default Employee Social Insurance card may 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 social insurance information.
It is recommended to have a good understanding of the Employee Social Insurance card and the information it contains prior to attempting mass upload as it has a direct impact on statutory deductions and reporting.
