Oracle Human Resources


Person Assignment

While updating assignment criteria, the application used to re-construct the Assignment
Link Usage (ALU) records even though there was no change in Grade, Organization or
Employment category data. This used to take considerable time and caused performance
issues. Now, the ALUs will be re-constructed only when there is a change in the Grade,
Organization or Employment category data while updating the assignment criteria.
In NL Legislation, Enter and Maintain form lists out 4 values in Gender LOV as Male,
Female, Unknown and Not Specified.
For the seeded Portugal Address style, a new value set is created with maximum
characters set to 8 so that Postal code with format ####-### is accepted without any error
Ethnic information entered in Irecruitment flow during job application is getting copied
from DFF to EIT when application status is changed to Accepted.
Code changes are done in such a way that the documents attached in iRecruitment
process can be visible in SSHR and CoreHR after the hiring of the person.

Previous Employment

In PL legislation, supports Parallel Employment by entering the Employer type as
Parallel in Previous Employment form. When the start date of Previous employment falls
after the start date of the employee system gives a warning asking whether the dates are
correct. User can choose option as Yes and continue with saving of the records in case of
Parallel employment.

Global Deployment

Fixed the case where System errors out during the Global Deployment of a Person From
One Business Group to Netherlands Specific Business Group because the mandatory
field Initials was not assigned any value. This is fixed by extending the array so as to
bypass the validation of that field.



Oracle Public Sector Human Resources

As part of this release, sanity tests are performed in the areas of Budgeting, Grade Step
Progression, Position and Transaction.
5 | P a g e



Oracle Labor Distribution
As part of this release, Sanity Tests were conducted for Encumbrances, Adjustments,
Scheduling, Non Oracle Sub lines, Pre Gen distribution Lines and Effort reports


Oracle Time and Labor

Supervisor Dashboard
With this release, supervisors can use the enhanced Timecard Status Dashboard to search
for the status of timecards considering supervisor hierarchy. Additionally, supervisors can
use the dashboard to view a graphical representation in percentage of timecard status and
the timecard start date and end dates. This enables supervisors to search for timecards
that are missing, submitted or approved for a specific timecard period. Supervisors can
use the Timecard Status Dashboard to generate Timecards Status details. Supervisors can
also action timecard approvals actions pending notifications from the Timecard Status
Dashboard.

Performance
The performance of 'Validate for BEE' request have been improved.
'Audit Trail Report' and 'Validate Data Set' requests performance has been enhanced.

API
Absence Days/ Hours field gets updated correctly in the Recent Timecard page when
Absence is created using Timestore Deposit API.



Oracle Learning Management

UCM Integration

OLM is now integrated with the Universal Content Management server. UCM has been
added as a content server and LCMS to OLM. The OLM / UCM integration has been
done in such a way that accessing a piece of content stored on UCM would only be
possible directly through UCM for persons who have the right privileges, for
Administrators through the OLM Admin interface who have the right Login and
Password and for Learners by playing the content of a Class in OLM for which they have
access.
Therefore, it should not be possible for an OLM Learner who has access to a piece of
content stored on UCM and used in an OLM Class to access the content on UCM outside
of OLM by using information from OLM like URLs or other form of direct or indirect
links to the content on UCM.
6 | P a g e

Currently, it will not be possible to export content from within OLM when it is placed on
a UCM Content Server.


Auto-Subscription & Auto Competency Update in Certifications

For Learning Certifications that are number of days based a new option Auto-
Subscription has been added to learner access. All learners, learning groups or
assignments that are being given access can now be auto subscribed. A concurrent
request that can be scheduled would then pick up these records and automatically
subscribe them to the learning certification. On the Certification - Subscriptions detail
page a new column called Automatic Subscription has been to the table. This column
contains a checkmark for those Learners who have been automatically subscribed.
A new checkbox has been added to the Update Subscription Status page. If the
Subscription Status field is set to Certified, the checkbox Update learners
competencies will be shown. If the checkbox is checked the Certification specific
competences will be appointed to the Learner based on the setting of the Learning
Certification Competency Update Setting field for the Certification.


Oracle Performance Management


Mass Change of Main Appraiser

Currently either an Administrator or the existing Main Appraiser can change the Main
Appraiser of an appraisal to another worker. This however can be done manually for only
one appraisal at a time. The new enhancement allows the administrator to mass change
the main appraiser for multiple appraisals for a selected appraisal period and appraisal
template. This is possible for both standalone as well as appraisals from performance
management plans. The administrator will also have the option to select only those
appraisals where the supervisor of the employee for the selected appraisal differs from
the main appraiser. A new concurrent program introduced in this enhancement will
update the main appraisers for the selected appraisals.


Printable Page

The printable page enhancement allows users to select specific sections of their appraisals
such as Objectives, Competencies etc. that they would like to print in either of two
formats, the Form or Table layout. The specific details of the appraisal can be selected by
the user on the newly added Configure Print Options page. A seeded rtf template has
been delivered so that the Appraisal details are passed from the Configure Print
Options page to the .rtf template as an XML string and the rtf template then produces the
7 | P a g e

Printable PDF format of the Appraisal. This feature is not available for offline appraisals
currently.


Questionnaire Enhancements

With this enhancement, Administrators will now have the flexibility to specify if the
answers for questions in the questionnaire should be selected from a pre-defined lookup
or Drop-down List. They will also be able to specify if the answers for questions can be a
free text or long text. Administrators will be able to make some/all questions in the
Questionnaire mandatory. Both Main Appraisers and Appraisees will be able to print out
their appraisals with new Questionnaires in a PDF format. There is also a provision to
enter detailed text (4000 characters) in text areas of the questionnaire (long text). Detailed
text entered in the questionnaires will be displayed in the printable PDF output.


Oracle Succession Planning


Talent Profile Access Restricted

Changes have been made to ensure that if an administrator adds a successor to a plan and
the successor is outside the security profile of the manager that the plan is assigned to, the
manager will now be able to view all the successor details except for the talent profile of
that successor.

Validations have been added to ensure that administrators will not be able to view any
plans in which they have been added as successors.

A new parameter has been added to the succession plan portal function that allows the
user to view custom talent profile pages instead of the seeded page.


Oracle iRecruitment


Assessment in Multiple Languages

Although iRecruitment can display the same vacancy in multiple languages, the current
assessments functionality, doesnt allow a test to be reused in multiple languages. For this
reason create multiple tests, one per language, and iRecruitment will display the
assessment based on the session language.
8 | P a g e

The assessment has to be defined in a specific format, for iRecruitment to display the
correct assessment (Registration Test when candidate registers and Application test when
candidate submits job application).
For example, if the languages installed are English (US) and Korean (KO), 2 different
tests have to be created, one per language. The naming convention should be
TestName_LanguageCode.
Ex: If the name of the test in General Test, the test name should be as follows.
General Test
General Test_KO.
If IRC_REGISTER_TEST, is set to General Test. iRecruitment will display the test
based on the value set for the language parameter L.
If a candidate from Korea visits iRecruitment, with IrcVisitor.jsp?L=KO, iRecruitment
will pick up the registration assessment: General Test_KO. Similarly, if a candidate from
US visits iRecruitment, with IrcVisitor.jsp?L=US, iRecruitment will pick up the
registration assessment: General Test.

Upload offer after edits

Currently a manual upload of offer letter is only possible after the offer has been
approved. From R12.1.6 onwards, managers/recruiters would be able to upload a
manually created offer letter while creating or updating the offer itself. This will ensure
that the offer letter that is being sent to the candidate actually goes through the approval
process.
For achieving this, upload button is provided on the View Offer letter page during the
Create and Update offer flow. But if the user tries to save the transaction for later, a
warning message that the manually uploaded offer would not be saved would be
displayed. The user has to upload the offer letter again when he revives the save for later
transaction.

Interview across responsibilities

iRecruitment delivered Interview Management feature in 12.1 using which Recruiting
Managers can schedule, track and complete interviews online. My Interviews region on
the Home Page displays the interviews scheduled for the next N number of days.
Currently, the My Interviews region operates in the context of a specific responsibility
only.
This behavior is changing from 12.1.6. iRecruitment users will be able to view the
interview schedules for all the vacancies they are involved in, immaterial of the
responsibility chosen. So, whether the logged in user plays the role of a Recruiting
Manager or an interviewer, iRecruitment will start to display all the interview schedules
in the Interviews region.
An additional drop down will be displayed in the My Interviews
All (default value):
When the value is set to All, all the interviews scheduled for the vacancies being
managed by the Hiring Manager / Recruiter & the interviews where the logged in
user is directly indicated as an interviewer are displayed.
9 | P a g e


Assigned To Me:
When the value is set to Assigned, only the interviews that the logged in user is
directly indicated as an interviewer are displayed.

For My Vacancies:
When the value is set to For My Vacancies, the interviews scheduled for the
vacancies being managed by the Hiring Manager / Recruiter are displayed



Application Time Resume

Candidates can register and submit job applications to vacancies in iRecruitment. As part
of the job application process, they can upload a resume specific to that vacancy.
Documents uploaded at the time of job application are referred to as Application Time
Documents and can be viewed in the Candidate Details page. Applicants can navigate to
their account details and upload another resume at a later point of time. iRecruitment
currently displays the latest resume on the View Applicants Page when a manager or
Recruiter views an applicant resume.
Starting 12.1.6, iRecruitment will provide an option to view the Application Time
Resume on the following pages:
- View Applicants
- Dashboard >> Recent Applications
- Recruitment Summary >> Applications page
- Candidates Search >> Applicants


Full location address in interview notifications

Prior to 12.1.6, when a manager or recruiter creates an interview for an applicant, the
applicant would be notified with only the location name. From R12.1.6 onwards, the
interview notifications is modified to display the complete address of the location to
applicants and interviewers.


Oracle Advance Benefits

Detect Life events from EIT's

The current benefits functionality only supports the ability to trigger a person change
from an update to a segment of a Special Information type, but the same functionality
cannot use the Assignment Extra Information or Person Extra Information as a person
change to recognize a life event. This enhancement allows life events to be triggered
based on a change to a Person Extra Information Type for a person or related person and
to allow life events to be triggered based on a change to an Assignment Extra Information
10 | P a g e

Type for a primary employee assignment.


Life Event Summary Report

The life event summary concurrent process is enhanced to include details of life events in
Unprocessed or Detected status
An additional module and output content with details on benefit life events in
Unprocessed or Detected status that meet the other parameters of the Life Event
Summary concurrent process is included in the summary report. The report includes the
details of the participant, life event and the occurred date.


Restrict Participants from Beneficiary Eligibility

Currently, the only restriction on beneficiary eligibility is for contacts and organizations.
Contacts must have the personal relationship flag. Organizations must have the
Organization Classification of Beneficiary Organization. There is no ability to prevent
participants from designating themselves as beneficiaries. This enhancement provides the
ability to prevent participants from being allowed as beneficiaries for a benefit plan. A
checkbox will be used to flag at the plan level whether the participant should not be
included in the list of eligible beneficiaries.


Enrollment

For compensation objects with coverage end date code as 1 Prior. When de-enrolling
from a plan, the enrollment is voided. After the fix the plan is end-dated as per the
coverage end date.

When there is a change in the participant Primary assignment, a new assignment is
updated as primary. The element entries related to mid-year election into FSA plans are
not moved to the new primary assignment after the Recalculate Participant Values
process is run.
Now the element entries are passed to the right assignment.


Rate

After processing the Loss of eligibility Life event, the end date for flex credit rates with
activity type as "Net Credits Distribution" or "Net Credits Used Deduction are changed
based on the new rate end date. After the fix the correct flex rates are displayed against
the flex shell plan.

For plans having standard rates defined based on premiums, when the compensation
object is defaulted for the first time, a zero rate amount was passed. After the fix the
11 | P a g e

correct amount is passed.



Plan Design Wizard

When copying plans using Plan design copy, if the plan has an enrollment action type
having more than 240 characters in the description section. The plan was not copied.
After this release the plans are copied successfully.


Coverage Codes

Before this release when a participant enrolls into compensation object with coverage
start date code set as Elections, the original elections made date was not preserved when
the life was backed out and reprocessed multiple time resulting in incorrect coverage
date. Now the correct date is reflected.

Dependent Designations

The dependents designation records for an interim plan having the enrollment code as
Current can keep or Choose But Start New the dependent designations were not re-
instated when the life was re-processed.
After the fix the dependent record of the interim plan is re-instated.



Oracle Self Service HR


SSHR UI Changes

This release includes UI changes in the display of SSHR Manager Actions and Employee
Actions. These actions can be launched either from the Organization Chart or Talent
Profile function. The aim of this UI change is to improve usability.

Scope
Display a side-navigator to enable launch of Manager Actions and Employee
Actions easily.
Remove the current Effective Date page, and add the fields from the Effective
Date page in a new region that should be displayed in the topmost part of the first
page that is displayed when a function is launched either from Manager Actions
or Employee Actions.
Provide a configurable option to enable users to determine whether they would
like the Review page to be displayed or not prior to submitting each SS action.
Remove the confirmation page that is displayed when any SSHR transaction is
12 | P a g e

completed.
Provide managers the flexibility to carry out multiple transactions for e.g. Change
Hours and Change Location once the employee record is selected.

contact.


AME

As part of this release, sanity tests are performed in the areas of Transaction Type,
Attributes, Conditions, Approval Groups, Rules and Test Workbench.


Compensation Workbench

Email Employee CWB Statements

With this new feature the compensation workbench administrator can email the employee
statement to the employees. The administrators will only be allowed to select processed
employees when emailing the employee statements unlike for printing where both
processed and unprocessed are displayed.

CWB Admin can select the list of processed employees and a Document Template, and
then click the Email Statements button to email the statements to the respective
employees. New concurrent program named Email CWB Employee Statements is created
which will populate the required data for the selected template and merges the data with
the template to generate the password protected compensation statement in the PDF
format. The generated statements are then emailed to the respective employees

Back-out CWB Post-process

This is a back ported enhancement residing in 12.2 level to 12.1 RUP6. With this feature
CWB Admin can back out the CWB Post process changes without also removing all the
work done by managers (and/or HR professionals) within CWB in the event that the Post
13 | P a g e

process was run on the wrong effective date or the wrong group of assignments was
processed, or if corrections need to be made on a mass scale.

The Back-out post process would leave the changes done in CWB such as compensation
awards allocated in the worksheet as well as any budget allocations and distributions,
worksheet submissions and/or approvals intact and only backs out the entries posted to
HR system by the post process but leave assignment/promotion-related changes intact in
the core HR system such as updates to an employees job, position or grade may have
taken place since the participation process was run.

CWB Admin can optionally grant access to all managers to make changes to their
employee allocations once the posting process has been backed out. CWB Admin is
restricted from removing any salary proposal changes or element entries, if the salary
proposal has been updated since the awards were posted to the HR system.

Email Employee CWB Statements

With this new feature the compensation administrators can email the total compensation
statement to the respective employees. Administrator can set the email preferences and
update the email setup details for each individual statement during its setup. A new batch
process called Email Employee Statements is created which upon clicking takes the
admin through screens for selecting the appropriate statement to be emailed to the
selection of employees based on filters. Once emails are delivered, the employees will no
longer appear for sending emails again unless their statements are purged and re-
generated.

Oracle Payroll

Core Payroll

Payroll Simulator

With this new feature the employee can perform Payslip modeling by entering what-if
values and running a mock payroll. The output is a sample Payslip using the results of the
simulated run. This self service utility is aimed at facilitating employees to check their
estimated carry-home pay based on an upcoming Bonus or Tax Refund and plan
accordingly. Payroll administrators can use this feature to answer employee queries or to
perform what-if analysis for payroll planning.

All the iterations carried out here are only for Simulation purpose and none of them gets
propagated to the actual data present in database. As per the design of Payroll Simulator,
during the simulation run the actual data gets modified but these changes never get
committed. So effectively the Payroll Simulator process does not alter any actual data.

Following are the features added from core payroll perspective:
Addition of new profiles HR: Enable Multiple Assignments for Payroll
Simulation and HR: Enable Payroll Simulation.
Addition of SIMULATION_ELEMENTS EIT
Feature for enabling elements for payroll simulation
Payslip modeling template and exclusion elements set in self service preferences.
Modeling availability rule and simulation locking dates..
Self service pages to enter mock values and display sample payslip.

Void and reversal of cheques

In business process, customers might need to re-issue a cheque for various reasons like a
lost check, incorrect pay value, etc. After voiding a cheque the user might want to re-
issue a cheque or reverse the payroll to correct the values. As both scenarios contain more
than one process, this enhancement clubs these processes together in a single flow for a
single check or a batch as whole.
Void check is used when one needs to re-print a check that has been lost or
damaged or if there is a printing error. Voiding a check does not prevent the
payment from being made again.
Void and Reissue situation occurs when the current check needs to be voided, and
a new check with the same amount needs to be printed. This involves processes
like voiding a cheque and running cheque writer.
Canceling a cheque is done when the check has already been printed but the
amount on the check is not valid. In such a situation, cheque should be voided and
all calculations are to be done again. This involves processes like voiding the
cheque and reverse the payroll run.
