You can configure and use Employee Statements to communicate with employees. Use this to inform employees about promotions, raises and any other information. Compensation Workbench uses Document Management and XML publisher to create an Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) file of these employee statements, which you can generate and print.
Create an Employee Statement template in Microsoft Word or WordPad.
Format the statement including any text and data tags based on your requirements. Data tags are placeholders for employee specific data that the application merges into the individual statement for each employee. You can use any text for the tag name. Ensure you format the tag <?tagname?> , for example, <?NEW_SAL?>
To display your company logo, paste a .jpg file in the template.
To display text conditionally, use the <?if: and <?endif?> tags. The application displays any data you enter between these tags if the condition is met.
See: My Oracle Support Note ID 311702.1 for more information on available tags.
