Human Resources

Global Human Resources

Oracle Global Human Resources enables your organization to plan, manage and optimize all workforce segments using flexible and extensible best practices to realize extraordinary gains while insuring compliance and increasing total workforce engagement.

Quick Action Access to Additional Person Info for Employees, Contingent Workers, and Line Managers

Enhance your employee, contingent worker and line manager experience with access to the Additional Person Info responsive page. Currently the page isn't displayed out-of-the-box and has to be configured to display for these roles.

Quick Action Access to Person Identifiers for External Applications for Employees and Contingent Workers

Enhance your employee and contingent worker experience with access to the Person Identifiers for External Applications responsive pages. Person identifiers are used to track additional details about a person or an assignment from an external application.

Position Management: Create Recruiting Requisition During Position Creation

Initiate creation of a (Oracle Recruiting) requisition along with the new position from the Request a New Position page or the Duplicate Position action from the Position Details page. You need to provide the basic information for the requisition and the other attributes get populated from the position and the associated requisition template. The requisition gets processed only when the new position is approved.

Position Management: New Attributes in HCM Position Hierarchy

Enhance your user experience with these new position attributes that are added to the HCM Position Hierarchy pages.

  • Requisition Template
  • Delegate Position
  • Budget Attributes (Budget Amount, Budgeted Position, Cost Center, Funded from Existing Positions)
  • Flexfields (Legislative Information, Extensible Flexfields, Descriptive Flexfields)

All attributes are hidden by default. You need to use personalization to enable them for the pages Create Child Position, Duplicate Position, and Edit Position.

Attachments Added to Request a New Position and Position Change

Use attachments with positions to store documents for future reference. For example, documents containing additional details about why the position is created, can now also manage attachments in Request a New Position and Request a Position Change pages.

Enhanced Security for Workers with Multiple Assignments in Global Human Resources

Allow your users to only access those workers who have assignments within the user's area of access if your organization allows workers to have multiple concurrent assignments. The current out-of-the-box behavior supports person-based security access. This means a user, such as a line manager or HR specialist having access to a person has access to all assignments and personal information of that person. When you opt in, the users will have assignment-level security and the Global HR tasks now restrict their access to a person's assignment based on the user's area of access. Any additional assignments the worker has will no longer be visible. For example, a line manager will only see those worker assignments which report to them. Similarly, an HR specialist can access worker assignments only within their area of responsibility.

This initial feature release offers a multi-phased implementation for HCM Cloud customers. The users will experience search behavior changes in the Person, Employment, and OTBI subject areas in Global Human Resources. Several HCM quick actions and person searches have been modified to provide a broader and more consistent user experience. These product features are affected by this enhancement:

  • My Team
  • Directory Search and Organization Chart
  • Employment transactions, except for Termination, Resignation, and End Assignment
  • Contracts
  • External Identifiers
  • Manage User Account
  • Person search, including manager and direct report LOVs
  • OTBI reporting

Enhanced Transaction Approvals Support Multiple Assignments in Global Human Resources

Enhance approval transaction rules in Global Human Resources to support workers with multiple assignments. The default behavior remains, where you have the option to send approval notifications through the management hierarchy of the worker's primary assignment. Now, you also have the flexibility to use the management hierarchy of the worker's assignment for which the transaction is initiated. This is especially useful when workers have multiple or nonprimary assignment transactions. These approval transaction processes now support multiple assignment notifications:

  • Manage Areas of Responsibility
  • Person External Identifiers

New Areas of Responsibility (AOR) REST Resource

Use the new AOR REST resource to create and manage Areas of Responsibilities (AORs) within Oracle HCM Cloud. This resource supports creating responsibilities directly, or by referencing an existing Responsibility Template. This resource also enables you to retrieve and manage responsibility information for your representatives, as well as also reassigning responsibilities from one representative to another.

Enhanced Workers REST API

Use the workers REST API with enhanced features to create and manage workers in Oracle HCM Cloud. This API now supports:

  • Assignment level security
  • New name attributes DisplayName, ListName and FullName in the parent resource to support sorting on the worker name
  • A new finder findReports to retrieve direct reports and all reports of a worker
  • Secure the ability to manage work relationships with separate data security policies for adding and updating work relationships
  • Secure the ability to manage assignments with separate data security policies for adding and updating assignments

Employment

Assignment Weekly Working Hours Section Added to Responsive Employment Flows

Streamline the business process by now managing assignment weekly working hours as part of your responsive employment transactions, such as Add a Pending Worker, Transfer, and Change Working Hours. You can record hours for each working day using the Elapsed shift type, and start and end times for each working day using the Time shift type.

Payroll Section in Add Assignment Flow

Enhance the ability of users to enter payroll information in the newly added Payroll section of the Add Assignment flow.

Enhancements for V3 Seniority Dates

Enhance the Migrate to Version 3 of Seniority Dates process with the addition of these new parameters:

These existing parameters are renamed in the process:

  • V1 Seniority to Non-Cumulative V3 Seniority
  • V2 Seniority to Cumulative V3 Seniority

Enable the user to change the V3 seniority rule configuration by allowing them to delete transaction data for the selected seniority rule using the new diagnostic process.

Improved Edit Work Relationship Page

Enhance the user experience with these changes to the responsive Edit Work Relationship page:

  • Work Relationship Info section is now made optional.
  • Worker Type column is added hidden out of the box.
  • Attributes are reordered in the Enterprise and Primary Information sections.

Secured Approval Notifications for Employment Flows

Streamline your business processes by now using secured approval notifications in responsive employment flows. These notifications have been secured using data privileges.

  • Edit Pending Worker
  • Edit Work Relationship
  • Cancel Work Relationship
  • Employment Details
  • Employment Contract
  • Eligible Jobs
  • Additional Assignment Info
  • Manage Directs
  • Delete Assignment
  • Termination
  • Resignation
  • Reverse Termination
  • Withdraw Resignation
  • Correct Termination

There is no data security change to other employment notifications.

Client List of Values for Reporting Establishment and Grade Step

Enhance the user experience with the new client list of values (LOVs) for Reporting Establishment and Grade Step LOVs on employment pages. You can now get relevant action suggestions as you start typing in the LOV.

Questions and Section Headers Changed on Questionnaire Page for Employment Flows

Rephrase the questions on the questionnaire page and rename their associated section headers to make them more user-friendly on various responsive employment flows. For example, the Reassign Reports section header has been renamed to Reassign Existing Reports.

Legal Employer and Country Parameters Added for Mass Legal Employer Action in HCM Experience Design Studio

Enhance user experience for the Mass Legal Employer action in HCM Experience Design Studio. You can now use the newly added Legal Employer and Country parameters when you configure rules for the action.

Tax Reporting Unit Fields Added to Worker Data File in HCM Data Loader

Add the Tax Reporting Unit ID and Tax Reporting Unit fields to the worker data (worker.dat) file when creating workers, work relationships or assignments using HCM Data Loader.

Enhanced Grade Lookup in Retained Grade Context of Assignment Extensible Flexfield

Improve the ability of users to select all active grades if the grade ladder is not selected in the Retained Grade Context of Assignment Extensible Flexfield.

Checklists

Single Summary Notification for Checklist Tasks Per Performer, Per Day, Per Checklist

Minimize the inflow of multiple checklist task notifications. Now you can enable users to receive a single summary notification per performer, per day, per checklist.

Edit an Allocated Checklist Task in Responsive Pages

Take advantage of the ability to edit an allocated checklist task through responsive pages by modifying task attributes, notes, notification overrides, and display properties.

Edit an Allocated Checklist in Responsive Allocate Checklists

Leverage the capability to edit an allocated checklist in the Responsive Allocate Checklists by updating checklist description, comments, and checklist display properties.

Leverage the use of the Additional Person Info application task when configuring a checklist task. This takes the worker to the Additional Person Info responsive page in Personal Info.

Use Secured HSDL Objects for Checklists

Make use of secured HCM Spreadsheet Data Loader (HSDL) spreadsheets to ensure data accuracy and to enable business users to easily perform mass actions on checklists.

Document Records

Document Records of Payroll Category Excluded by Default

Improve user experience when viewing document records with document records of payroll category. Those with payroll category are now excluded by default on the list page.

Expired Document Records Excluded by Default

Make use of the improved faceted search on the Document Records list page that excludes expired document records by default.

Display of Additional Document Record Attributes

Enhance user experience with the display of additional document record attributes on the Document Records page, eliminating the need to drill down the Document Records page.

Simplify Viewing of Document Records

Simplify the experience of viewing document record details with the availability of the view icon which makes it intuitive and easier for the user to navigate to the drill-down page.

Global HR Replaced or Removed Features

From time to time, Oracle replaces existing features with new features, or removes existing features.

Replaced features may be put on a path of removal, the features below will let you know what update you will have to have moved to the newer feature. As a best practice, you should move to the newer feature as soon as possible for full support and to stay up with the latest updates that the product offers.

Any feature that is removed, will have an Update in which that feature is no longer available. Please make necessary plans to move off the feature by the Update indicated, as it will no longer be available.

Allocate Checklists Available Only in Responsive Pages from 20D

Migrate to the Allocate Checklists responsive pages to leverage enhanced features.

NOTE: From 20D onwards, Allocate Checklists in Classic pages will no longer be supported.

Here’s why you should consider moving to the Allocate Checklists responsive pages:

  • Renders the page on any device (desktop, laptop, tablet, mobile phone, etc.) seamlessly, thereby providing a consistent user experience across devices.
  • Simplifies the user experience by allowing display, search, and allocation of checklists of all categories.
  • Prevents adhoc creation and duplication of checklists by users.
  • Maintains data integrity of allocated checklist and task details, by restricting adhoc updates to names and descriptions of allocated checklists and tasks.
  • Provides control over updates to checklist and task statuses by removing the ability to manually update checklist and task status to non-relevant status values.
  • Allows modifying task performers by leveraging reassign task functionality.
  • Allows ability to specify if comments and attachments are enabled for tasks and if those attachments need to be stored automatically in document records.

If you're reporting the CostCenterOverride attribute already to ADP, you can include the description now by updating the formula. If you're including the description, do a baseline extraction. This approach avoids generation of the interface output for all employees. Perform data changes and regular extractions after the baseline extraction is complete.
