Payroll Relationship Rules

Define a payroll relationship rule for each HCM Cloud legislation. The rule controls when and how payroll relationships are created for a person. Oracle HCM Cloud delivers predefined payroll relationship rules for all country extensions.

If you're configuring a legislation that isn't predefined by Oracle, define mapping rules for all person types including candidates that the legislation uses. The Configure Legislation for Human Resources task would create mapping rules for person types such as employee. You can use this task to create any person type mapping rules that aren't predefined by Oracle.

This table describes the application behavior based on the available payroll relationship rules for a legislation.

Create Employment Records Based on Rules	Application Behavior
Last Record	When you create an assignment, the application searches for an active payroll relationship of the same person type and for the same PSU. If an active payroll relationship exists, the application groups the assignment under the existing payroll relationship. If an active payroll relationship doesn't exist, the application creates a new payroll relationship for the assignment. The Last Record rule is used in localizations such as the UK.
Lifetime Record	When you create an assignment, the application searches for a payroll relationship of the same person type and for the same PSU. If a payroll relationship exists, the application groups the assignment under the existing payroll relationship. If the payroll relationship is terminated, the application removes the end date. If a payroll relationship doesn't exist, the application creates a new payroll relationship for the assignment.
New Record	When you create an assignment, the application creates a new payroll relationship. Each payroll relationship is associated with one work assignment.
