Balance Types for Qatar

Balance types predefined by Qatar localization are listed in the Qatar Balances Spreadsheet.

Oracle_Fusion_HRMS_QA_Payroll_Balances.xlsx on My Oracle Support (MOS). You can also find the balance definitions and balance types in this spreadsheet.

Gross:

The balance Gross Earnings collects all the gross earnings applicable for Qatar and is fed by 4 primary classifications:
  • Standard Earnings
  • Supplemental Earnings
  • Absences
  • Taxable Benefits

All elements created at the implementation level with these primary classifications feed this balance.

Social Insurance:

The balance Subject to Social Insurance collects all the earnings that are liable to Social Insurance and fed by subclassification Subject to Social Insurance.

This subclassification is associated by default to earnings with primary classification Standard Earnings and Information and so all elements created in the implementing phase with these primary classifications feeds this balance.

The value of this balance is used ascontributory salaryif the same is not overridden.

The balance Contributory Salary is used as a base in the contributions calculations. Subject to Social Insurance is designed to store the earnings that make up the contributory base, but for private sector the base can be overridden or adjusted so, eventually, if there is no override or adjustment balance, contributory salary balance is equal to balance Subject to Social Insurance, otherwise it will account for the override or adjustment.

Net Pay Balance:

During the payment process, the net pay balance is used to store the amount to be transferred as remuneration for the payee. A netpay balance, named Net Pay, is predefined for Qatar, and no additional setup is required during the implementation phase.

Balance Dimensions and Defined Balances

Balance dimensions enabled by Qatar localization are listed in the Qatar Balances SpreadsheetOracle_Fusion_HRMS_QA_Payroll_Balances.xlsx on My Oracle Support (MOS).

As per the original employment model, balances are maintained at all four levels, that is: Payroll Relationship, Payroll Terms, Payroll Assignment, and Group levels.

The only dimensions that can be selected when creating a balance in the implement phase are dimensions enabled by Qatar localization.

Combining balance types and enabled dimensions Qatar has delivered a set of defined balances that are listed in the QA Balances Spreadsheet Oracle_Fusion_HRMS_QA_Payroll_Balances.xlsx on My Oracle Support (MOS).
