Element Classifications

You can use the set of primary classifications applicable to the Oman localization which are derived from global payroll.

There are also sets of secondary classifications and subclassifications which are defined for Oman.

• 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.

You can see the My Oracle Support (MOS) document Oracle_Fusion_HRMS_OM_Payroll_Data.xls to review all the classifications available.

Primary Classifications

These are the primary-classifications available to use in the Oman localization:

• Absences
• Balance Initialization
• Standard Earnings
• Supplemental Earnings
• Information
• Social Insurance Deductions
• Direct Payments
• Employer Charges
• Involuntary Deductions
• Voluntary Deductions

When you select the primary classification, the application displays a questionnaire to use which decides the characteristics of the element you're creating.

Note: The subclassifications Subject to Social Insurance and Disposal Income Court Order are defaulted for all elements with primary classification Standard Earnings.

Secondary Element Classifications and Subclassifications

Secondary classifications are subsets of primary classifications. As with primary classifications, you can't remove or change any predefined secondary classifications, and you can't disable any of the predefined balance feeds created for them.

The type of secondary classification that you select drives the questions of the element template and the characteristics of the element that's created.

Primary Classification	Secondary Classification	Subclassification
Standard Earnings	Basic Salary Overtime Utilities Allowance Cost of Living Allowance Transport Allowance Phone Allowance Subsistence Allowance Nature of Work Allowance Housing Allowance Social Allowance	Subject to Social Insurance Disposal Income Court Order
Supplemental Earnings	Bonus Gratuity Payments	Disposal Income Court Order
Absences	Maternity Other Sickness Vacation	Subject to Social Insurance
Voluntary Deductions	Loans	NA
Direct Payment	Expense Reimbursement	NA
Involuntary Deductions	Court Order	NA
Information		Subject to Social Insurance

If you need to define an element that's not a Standard Earnings, but is part of the contributory salary follow these steps:

1. Define a new subclassification and the corresponding subclassification rule.
2. Feed the contributory balance with this subclassification.
