Setting Up Sick Pay

Oracle HRMS enables you to process sick pay for your employees . To do this you must complete the following steps:

arrow icon   To set up sick pay processing:

  1. Enter company or establishment information.

    See: Company: Entering Company Information

    See: Establishment: Entering Establishment Information

  2. Enter a default value for subrogation by setting the HR: Subrogation user profile option. Enter Yes if you normally receive payment from CPAM and pass this on to your employees. Enter No if employees normally receive payment directly from CPAM. You can override the default on each absence record, if required.

    See: User Profiles

  3. If you add any lookup values to the following lookup types, you must run the "Seed French Data" process.

    FR_TERM_REASON_ADS_STATUS _CODE

    FR_ABS_CATG_ADS_STATUS _CODE

    FR_ABS_CATG_ADS_ABS_CODE

    FR_WORK_INC_ADS_ABS_CODE

    This process creates new columns in a user-defined table that has the same name as the lookup type. Enter the appropriate values in the new column this process creates to ensure that your new lookup values are mapped onto the correct values in the Absences Report (FR).

    See: Running the Seed French Data Process

  4. Enter work incident sickness details.

  5. Enter medical assessment details.

  6. Link the predefined FR_SICKNESS_INFORMATION and FR_SICK_BENEFIT elements to the payroll for sick pay processing. You can also link the IJSS elements, Deduction for sickness element, GI Payment element, sickness adjustment element and sickness insurance element if you want to setup costing information.

    See: Defining Element Links

    See: Sick Pay Elements, Formulas and Secondary Classifications

  7. On your user-defined elements (such as Earnings) use the Balance Feed Control window to check which of the predefined secondary classifications for sickness balances should apply. By default, Earnings elements include the following classifications, meaning that they feed the equivalent balances:

  8. If you do not want the element to feed these balances-which are used in sickness calculation-delete the classification rules, which removes the balance feeds.

    See: Sickpay Elements, Formulas and Secondary Classifications

    See: Creating Classes of Balance Feeds

  9. If company/collective agreement requires a specific balance for guaranteed salary then you need to create it and set up the feeds for these balances. You need to associate the ASG_PRO_RUN dimension as Oracle Payroll uses this dimension in sickness calculation. That balance is specified on the sick benefit element.

  10. Define the sickness absence type using the Absence Type window. You need to select the Sickness category for sickness absence type and the FR_SICKNESS_INFORMATION element. The sickness absence type that you define covers all types of sickness such as work accident, travel accident, occupational and non-occupational sickness.

    See: Defining an Absence Type

arrow icon   To test your sick pay processing setup:

  1. Enter sickness absence details. In Oracle Payroll, entry of the absence triggers the creation of a recurring element entry that starts the sickness calculation.

    See: Entering Absences

    See: Entering Sickness Absences

  2. If you are waiting for the payment details from the social security office, you need to select the No option for IJSS estimate in the previous step. You must enter the payment information when you receive the notification from CPAM office. To do this, you enter information for the FR_SICKNESS_CPAM_INFO element.

    See: Entering CPAM Payment Details for Absences

  3. If the employee is eligible for a collectively agreed guarantee for this sickness absence, enter the FR_SICK_BENEFIT element for the dates of the absence. The input values define the parameters for processing the guarantee, such as the payment bands.

    See: Entering Collective Agreement Details for a Sickness Absence

  4. You can process sick pay through a payroll run or QuickPay. Select the employee assignment and the element entries that you want to process for QuickPay or for a Payroll run.

    See: Starting a Payroll Run

  5. Run the Absence Report (FR).
