Element Classifications for Bahrain

Global Payroll has defined a set of primary classifications and Bahrain localization has selected the ones that are applicable for the country.

Additionally a set of secondary classifications and subclassifications have been defined specifically by the localization.

Secondary classifications are used in the element template process to drive the questionnaire and also to create the element with the needed characteristics.
Subclassifications are used to control balance feeds and identify a sub type of the particular classification.

All the classifications predefined for BH are listed in the Oracle_Fusion_HRMS_BH_Payroll_Data.xls on My Oracle Support (MOS).

Primary Classifications

The following primary classifications are enabled for the Bahrain localization:
