Payroll Definitions

Payroll definitions contain calendar and offset information that determine when payments are calculated and paid.

Using payroll definitions, you can specify payment frequency, processing schedule, and other parameters for a particular payroll. Payroll period types, such as weekly or monthly, determine the interval at which you pay employees.

Before you can create a payroll definition, you must have already defined a legislative data group and consolidation group.

No payroll definitions are predefined for Oman.

To set up payroll definitions:

1. Select Payroll Definitions in the implementation project task list.
2. In the Search Results section, click the drop-down list for Actions and click Create
3. Select the LDG for this payroll definition, and click Continue.
4. Enter the required information.
   Tip: Oman supports the following period types: Monthly Calendar and Biweekly.

   • The biweekly period type option isn't available to users licensed for HCM Payroll.
   • You need to select an existing consolidation group.

   • Click Add Row in the Valid Payment Methods section to add an organization payment method to use as the default, and any extra payment methods valid for this payroll. You can select any organization payment method defined for the LDG that's linked to this payroll definition.

5. Click Next, and provide the required information on the Payroll Offsets page.
