Once you have set up basic assignment details, you can enter additional information, such as supervisor details, special ceiling progression points, and salary information, in the tabbed regions of the Assignment window. The tabbed regions that appear in the Assignment window vary according to person type and localization.
Note: Your Oracle Mexico localization team has created the Statutory Information and Social Security Affiliation tabbed regions to hold legislatively required additional information.
Use the Salary page to enter a proposed salary change for an employee, associate this change with a performance review, and accept or revise the change later. To administer an employee's salary in this way, you first assign the employee to a salary basis in the Salary Information region.
Choose the Salary Information tabbed region.
Select a salary basis for the employee.
You can also enter the frequency of salary and performance reviews.
Note: When you change salary basis for an assignment, the application end dates the existing proposal and creates a new salary proposal. The new proposal updates the salary element entry automatically. When you remove a salary basis from an assignment, the application end dates the existing salary element entry, enabling you to manually create a new salary element entry effective from the date of the salary basis change.
For more information about salary administration, see: Salary Administration
You use the Supplier tabbed region to record information about the supplier providing the contingent worker to your enterprise. The procedure depends on whether you are using Oracle Services Procurement to provide purchase order information for contingent worker assignments.
If you are not using Oracle Services Procurement:
Choose the Supplier tabbed region.
Select the names of the supplier and the supplier site for the contingent worker.
Enter supplier IDs for the contingent worker and the assignment, if available. These values identify the worker and the assignment to the supplier.
If you are using Oracle Services Procurement:
Choose the Supplier tabbed region.
Select a purchase order number for this assignment.
If only one purchase order line exists, it appears in the Purchase Order Line field. Otherwise, select a purchase order line. Note that the Purchase Order Line field is enabled only when you select a purchase order.
Information from the purchase order appears automatically in the Supplier Name and Supplier Site fields. If the purchase order line includes a job value, it replaces any value in the Job field.
Enter supplier IDs for the contingent worker and the assignment, if available. These values identify the worker and the assignment to the supplier.
Choose the Supervisor tabbed region.
Select the name and number of the worker's personal supervisor. If you use assignment-based supervisor hierarchies, select the supervisor's assignment number.
You can select a contingent worker as a supervisor only if the HR: Expand Role of Contingent Worker user profile option is set to Yes.
You can select a supervisor from another Business Group if the HR:Cross Business Group user profile option is set to Yes at your site.
Note: The application does not update this information. Use organization and position hierarchies to show management reporting lines.
The probation period defaults from the employee's position.
Choose the Probation and Notice Period tabbed region.
Amend the default probation period for your employee's assignment, if required.
Enter the notice period for the assignment, if required.
The standard work day information (apart from the Hourly/Salaried field) defaults from the position. If standard conditions are not defined for the position, they default from the organization or Business Group.
Choose the Standard Conditions tabbed region.
Amend the standard work day information for your employee or contingent worker assignment, if required.
This step is for employees only. For benefit administration, enter whether the assignment is hourly or salaried. If you are in the US, benefits are often based on whether a person is paid hourly or receives a salary.
Note: If you are setting up benefits based on salaried or hourly pay you must set up the Hourly/Salaried field in addition to the Pay Basis. The Pay Basis identifies how pay is quoted within Salary Administration and enables an employee to have their pay quoted as hourly, but be paid a salary. Therefore, for benefits, you need to set up whether your employee is paid hourly or receives a salary.
Choose the Statutory Information tabbed region.
Open the MX Statutory Info flexfield.
Select a GRE for this assignment.
Do this to:
Specify the GRE if there are multiple GREs associated with this assignment's location.
Manually override the current GRE.
Note: Choose the GRE carefully. This field lists all available GREs and not just the GREs associated with this location (in the Generic Hierarchy), so it is possible to choose an invalid GRE.
Select the name of the timecard approver, and indicate if this assignment requires timecards.
Select the recommended work schedule.
Specify this assignment's government employment sector.
To manually override the default salary type (specified by the assignment's job), choose a new Social Security salary type.
Select the appropriate value in the SS Rehire Reporting field. Select Yes if you want the termination and rehire of an employee in the same GRE to be reported in the Social Security Affiliation Report and the SUA Interface Extract. Otherwise, select No.
Specify whether the application must calculate subsidy for employment for the assignment or not. According to the ISR Law, when an employee has two or more employers, the employee has to opt who is going to pay the subsidy for employment in the ISR tax calculation. The default value is Yes. If the value is No, then the application does not calculate the subsidy for employment.
Specify the CFDI Contract Type and CFDI Work Schedule Type. The values that you select in these fields are reported in the payslip generated by the CFDI Payroll XML Extract process. See Running the CFDI Payroll Payslip XML Extract for more information.
Choose the Miscellaneous tabbed region.
Enter the internal address details (such as the floor or office number), if required. The system adds the details to the location address.
Select a reason for adding or changing the assignment. For example, you can use the Reason field to record promotions for your employees. You define valid reasons as values for the lookup types Reason for Change to Employee Assignment (EMP_ASSIGN_REASON) for employees and Contingent Worker Assignment Reasons (CWK_ASSIGN_REASON) for contingent workers.
Select the Manager check box if the assignment is at manager level and you want to include this worker in the Organization Hierarchy Report as a manager. (You can select Manager for a contingent worker assignment only if the HR: Expand Role of Contingent Worker user profile option is set to Yes.)
By default, the first assignment entered is the primary assignment, and the Primary box is automatically checked. If you are now entering a secondary assignment, you must ensure that the Primary box is unchecked.
Check the Primary check box to update a secondary assignment to Primary.
A special ceiling progression point is the highest point to which the Increment Progression Points process can automatically progress the employee.
Choose the Special Ceiling tabbed region.
Enter a special ceiling only if the employee is assigned to a grade, and if a grade scale is defined for this grade. This special ceiling overrides the ceiling defined for the grade scale.
Choose the Project Information tabbed region.
Note: The Project Information tabbed region displays only if you have installed Oracle Projects.
Enter a billing title. The information you enter in the Billing Title field serves as the default title on project customer invoices. You can override this information using Project Accounting.
Enter a project title.
You must enter grade ladder information to use the Grade/Step Progression process.
Choose the Grade Ladder tabbed region.
Select the grade ladder for this assignment. If you selected a grade for this assignment previously, all the grade ladders that use that grade are available. If you have not selected a grade, all the active grade ladders in your enterprise are available.
Choose the Bargaining Unit tabbed region.
Enter a bargaining unit code for your employee's assignment. This is usually the legally recognized collective negotiating organization.
Note: You set up your different bargaining units as values for the Lookup type BARGAINING_UNIT_CODE
Select whether the employee associated with the assignment is a member of a union.
Choose the Employment Terms tabbed region.
Select the contract to be referenced by the assignment. The list of contracts is limited to those entered for the employee that have start dates on or before the assignment start date.
Select the agreement grade structure for the collective agreement. A window shows the grade factors for that grade structure.
Enter values for the grade factors. Or, choose the Combinations button and enter search criteria for one or more grade factors to display the reference grades that meet those criteria.
If you enter values directly into the grade factor fields, they must correspond to an existing reference grade unless the Override Allowed check box in the Agreement Grades window is checked.
Note: Any new combinations of values that you enter are unavailable for reuse with other assignments. To reuse a combination, you must define it as a reference grade in the Agreement Grades window.
If an employee changes GREs (most commonly for a change in location, such as transfer, promotion, or reassignment), you must provide the Social Security agencies with a leaving reason.
Choose the Social Security Affiliation tabbed region.
Select the leaving reason for this assignment.
Note: Do not use this field for employment terminations. In the case of an end of employment, you must use the Terminate window.
