  2. Legislative Data Groups and Legal Entities

Legislative Data Groups and Legal Entities

A legislative data group (LDG) defines the payroll and related data partition context for a user, which lets you partition their payroll data.

An LDG must be defined in an HR-only implementation if you plan to export employee-level info, such as payment methods or salary, to a third-party payroll system.

If an LDG is associated with a PSU, then whenever you create payroll data, the LDG can be derived from the payroll relationship for the transaction through the PSU association.

You can define an LDG by navigating to the Manage Legislative Data Groups page and clicking on Create.

Define a Legal Entity

When defining a legal entity, you need to consider the context in which it's to be used:
  • If it’s to be used in an HCM context, choose it as a legal employer. In an HCM implementation, it's required to define legal employers.
  • If it’s to be used in a Payroll context, choose it as a PSU.
  • You can define a legal entity that's both a legal employer and a PSU.
  • If multiple legal employers need to be grouped together for tax reporting purposes, you can associate them all with a single PSU. If legal employers don't report together, they must not share a PSU.
Note: No legal entities are predefined for Oman. You must create all legal entities that apply to the enterprise you're setting up.
Important: Legal entities for Oman should be marked as both a legal employer and a PSU.
