The generic hierarchy defines the relationships between the different levels of an organization (legal employer, GRE, and location). It provides employers with the ability to set up relationships among the HR organizations within the enterprise. Use the Mexico HRMS Statutory Reporting generic hierarchy type to create those relationships.

When defining the generic hierarchy, consider the following rules:

• Before you define the legal employers and GREs in the generic hierarchy, define them as organization classifications at the organization hierarchy level.

• Assign every GRE to a legal employer.

• Assign every GRE to one or more locations.

  Note: A GRE can have multiple locations only if they are in the same Economic Zone or if the employer has an agreement with the Social Security agencies.

• If you define a GRE in the generic hierarchy that is already associated with a location at the organization hierarchy level, HRMS automatically adds that location to the generic hierarchy. If that GRE has multiple locations, you must add the additional locations manually.

• You must assign every location to one or more GREs. You cannot associate a location with a legal employer.

• The organization hierarchy does not reflect changes you make in the generic hierarchy (such as reassignment of a GRE to a different location). The reverse is also true. The generic hierarchy does not reflect changes you make at the organization level.

• You can have only one active hierarchy at a time. If your hierarchy expires, all dependant functionality is unavailable until you activate a new hierarchy.

• You must completely define your generic hierarchy organization before you begin assigning employees.
