Follow this procedure to define a default payroll for benefits administration and to configure the use of benefits assignments.
You use both the Payroll Description window and the Organization window to assign a default payroll to a business group.
When a benefits assignment is created for an employee, due to their termination or other qualifying event, the benefits assignment must have a default payroll. US and Canadian customers should define a default payroll with a periodicity of monthly.
You can indicate if you want the application to auto-generate benefits assignments for qualifying events. For US and Canadian customers, the application creates benefits assignments by default.
For monthly payrolls, create a payroll with a period type of Calendar Month using the Payroll Description window.
Save your work and exit the Payroll Description window.
Select the business group for which you want to define a default payroll using the Find Organization window.
Place the cursor in the Organization classifications block on the Business Group field and choose the Others button.
Select Benefits Defaults from the Additional Organization Information lookups.
Choose the Next button to display the Benefits Defaults window.
Select a default payroll for this business group.
In the Benefits Assignment field, select Yes if you want to record benefits assignments for continuing benefits eligibility.
If your enterprise uses Oracle HRMS solely for compensation management--or if you do not want the application to automatically create benefits assignments--select No.
Save your work.
