1About this Playbook
Use this playbook to understand the tasks required to set up elements for French Payroll.
The Payroll application provides many predefined elements. You can generate additional
elements, define types of compensation, and payroll elements through templates. This
playbook contains details such as:
- Elements and templates used to create them
- Primary and secondary classifications
- Regular earnings
- Irregular earnings
- Reconstituted salary
In the context of configuring a payroll you will mostly create earnings elements given that the statutory contributions (supported by deduction elements) are delivered by Oracle out-of-the-box. You can configure any of the generated items to match your specific business requirements. You must also create element eligibility records for the elements.
Select the element classification and category that determine the template of questions.
Answer the questions to specify the details of the element you want to create. The items
that the template generates can include multiple elements, input values, formulas,
balances, and other items.
Note: The template you use to create elements depends on the
configuration selected for your country or territory on the Features by Country or
Territory page. If you select an element classification, such as Regular Earnings,
Irregular Earnings, Direct Payments and Taxable Benefits, the basis template creates
input values for Amount, Periodicity, and Full-Time Equivalent.
| Items | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Input Values | Defines the entry values available on each entry of this element, such as hours worked or amount. |
| Element Eligibility Records | Defines the eligibility criteria a worker's employment record must meet to be eligible for the element. For example, you can use grade, payroll, salary basis, or organization as eligibility criteria. |
| Status Processing Rules | Identifies the formula the payroll run uses to process the element, and how to handle the formula results. |
| Related Formulas and Related Elements | Identifies additional elements and formulas created by the template for payroll processing. |
| Related Balances | Identifies the balances created by the element template for this element. |
The template engine gets a set of rules from the template and processes the predefined template structure to create appropriate data.
