1Introduction to Payroll Elements

Use this playbook to understand the tasks required to set up elements for Payroll.

The Payroll application provides many predefined elements. You can generate additional elements, define types of compensation, and payroll elements through templates.

Each element belongs to a primary classification, which identifies the template you use to create it, such as Earnings and Voluntary Deductions.

Element templates create elements, input values, balances, balance feed, and formulas required for payroll processing. There are various rules associated with these templates which are used to create data based on specific criteria. These templates source the values for the rules and processes the predefined structure to create appropriate data required.

You can use the global template questionnaire to create a standard set of elements for earnings that's applicable to the Oman localization.

Once you complete the questionnaire and submit the process, the relevant payroll objects are generated.

Availability of Element Template Functionality Based on Product License

The availability of features in element templates depends on the type of license you have.

You can use the element template designed for the Oman localization when you create an element with the primary classification as Standard Earnings.

For all other primary classifications, the standard global template is used when creating Oman elements.

When you select the primary classification as Standard Earnings:

• If you didn't select any secondary classification, then the standard element template is followed, and no specific Oman consideration is applied.

• If you select one of the secondary classifications, then the earnings elements created follow Oman specific rules.
