Person Types
The first and foremost step in people management is to identify different
categories of people you are going to manage.
Most of the organizations generally maintain following categories of
people:
Applicants : People who have applied for a vacancies in the Organizations.
Applicant can internal or external to your organization.
Employees : These people have direct employment contract with the
company. These people will be on the company payroll and their
compensation and benefits information would be maintained by company.
Contingent Workers : They are normally billed to the organization.

They will not be on the company payroll. Contingent workers are
normally supplied by consultancy firms for a specific task. Contingent
workers supplier details can be stored in their assignments.
-10-

Person Types
Others: These are person types, that are not directly associated with
the enterprise. They could be directly or indirectly related to employees
of the organization. Some such person types could be candidates,
contact or external people.
Person types functionality available in Oracle HRMS is used to
categories workforce in the organization.
Oracle HRMS comes with predefined person types to categorize
workforce, these are termed as System Person Types in Oracle
HRMS. System person types can be extended by defining your own
person type to represent workforce more accurately.
Each system person type comes with one corresponding user person
type. You can define more user person types corresponding to system
person type.
-11-

Person Types
For example, for system person type Employee, you can define two
user person types, Permanent and Temporary. Also note that for each
system person type, at least one default and active user person type is
required.
Predefined system and user person types are given below:

Employee
Ex-employee
Applicant
Ex-applicant
Contingent Worker
Ex-contingent worker
Contact
External

Person Types Usages
In Oracle HRMS date effective changes to person types is done from
Person Type Usages window and not from People window.
Generally person type changes within the same system person type
are independent of other personal information.
For example, for system person type Employee you could have two
user person types namely Permanent and Temporary. On satisfactory
performance during temporary period, employee can be converted to
permanent keeping all other details intact.
Snapshot depicting person type usages is shown in the next slide.

Assignment Statuses

defined to keep track of progress of employees, applicants or
contingent workers during their tenure with the organization.

with the following predefined system statuses.
Active Assignment
Suspend Assignment
Terminate Assignment
End

Hiring a New Person
Oracle HRMS people window can be used to hire a person. Once a
person is hired, Oracle HRMS creates a default assignment pointing to a
business group.
People window enables you to track history of the people from day one
till the day they leave the organization.
People is a date track window that enables you to keep continuous
history of all changes to a persons record. It enables you to do changes
as on effective date, which could be past or future date. Oracle HRMS
enables you to update date track information in two modes.
Correction: Correct the existing record.
Update: Keep history of changes.

Hiring a New Person
Following actions need to be used to hire a person.
Create Applicant: This action enables to hire a person with the system

Employee. In case, all recruitment activities carried out offline, this action
needs to be used to hire a person an Employee.

Element is created using Define Element Screen
Element needs to be an Recurring Earnings and non Standard

Element. It should contain at least one input value.
If same element needs to be associated with more than one salary

basis, create one input value for each salary basis.
-52-

Validation of values entered for the salary element can be done in two
ways:
Grade Rate
Input Value Validation
Grade Rate
Salary Grade Rate can be defined with minimum, mid and maximum
values for a Grade.
This can be attached to salary basis to validate the salary
This validation occurs only if grade is attached to the employee.
Input Value Validation

Standard Input Validations like maximum, minimum or validation
formula can also be used.
-53-

Define Salary Basis
Salary Basis defines the frequency at which employee is paid Salary.
One Element and Input value are attached to the salary basis. This
gets automatically attached while defining the salary for the employee.
Grade Rate is attached to Salary Basis in order to validate the salary
based on Grade and Min, Max salaries defined in the Grade Rate.

Overview
Person & Assignment DFFs are provided in oracle application to
capture additional information on person and assignment levels, which
has not been captured in the standard people and assignment forms.
The example of additional information captured on Person level is
Global ID, Country of Origin, etc and assignment level is PA Billing
Title, Move Employee Flag, etc
Person and Assignment DFFs are context based. A context-sensitive
DFFs are DFF that may or may not appear depending upon what other
information is present in your form.
For example If we are entering record for an Employee, we want to capture
certain information; on the other hand, if we are entering record for an
Applicant, then we want to capture some other custom information. This
can be achieved by defining different contexts as APL and EMP

Global Deployment
Overview
Global Deployment is a newly introduced functionality in R12, wherein
unlike earlier versions of Oracle HRMS automatic transfers of
employees across business groups can be performed seamlessly.
Global deployment caters to:
Permanent Transfers
Temporary Transfers (Secondments)
In an enterprise, employees might be required to be transferred

between business groups to support business. This transfer could be
permanent or temporary in nature. Global deployment functionality
enables you to effect such movement of people between two business
groups.
Source business group: Business group from where person to be
transferred.
Destination business group: Business group in which person to be
transferred.
-68-
Global Deployment
Oracle HRMS facilitates to monitor progress of such transfer using deployment
proposal.
Employee Data Flow in Global Deployment

Global Deployment not create optional records, such as the competency
profile, qualifications records, Address, SIT and EIT information.
Global Deployments function has no effect on payroll and benefits setup.
One need to supply additional pay and benefits information for the
employee.
The application creates basic assignment information. You are
recommended to review the assignment record and complete it as
required.
In US one cannot assign payroll till employee address is entered. Since
global deployment doesnt transfer address payroll field left blank in the
destination business group.
-69-
Global Deployment
Define Deployment Reasons
HR_DEPLOYMENT_REASONS lookup holds all valid reasons for
deployment. Reasons such as Business Need, Skill Transfer, etc. can be
added to this lookup for reporting purpose.
Transfers v/s Secondments
In global deployment, transfer term is used for permanent movement
from source business group to destination business group. In this case,
person is terminated in source business group.
Secondment stands for temporary movement, whereas persons
assignment is suspended in source business group and gets reinstated,
once person returns from destination business group to source business
group.
