From the Health and Welfare business area, you can update compensation
objects and entities that exist in the database. You can also unlink child
records from their parent records. For example, you can unlink a plan from a
program. Unlinking child records do not delete the child record from the
system, but only severs the link between the child and the parent record.
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack J.

3.2.1.2. Preconfigured Discoverer 4i Workbooks Make Benefits


Administration Easier (HR_FP J)
Seeded workbooks are now available to Discoverer users that make benefits
administration easier. The new seeded workbooks are as follows:
• OAB - Action Items and Certifications
• OAB - Dependents and Beneficiaries
• OAB - Enrollment Rates and Premiums
• OAB - Health Cost
• OAB - Life Event Summary
• OAB - Person Life Event Details
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack J.

3.2.1.3. Maintain Action items and Certifications with Subsequent


Life Events (HR_FP J)
Maintain Action items, Certifications, Suspended Elections, and Interim
Coverage with Subsequent Life Events
The application now prevents the deletion of action items, certifications,
interim coverage, and suspended elections when you process a subsequent life
event. Previously, when a participant made an enrollment that required
documentation, the application created an action item and generated a
certification requirement. The application suspended the elected coverage for
the participant, and assigned any interim coverage based on your plan design
setup. If a subsequent event occurred for the participant before the action item
due date, the application deleted this information and the enrollment history
was lost.
With Family Pack J, when you process a subsequent event, the system
automatically maintains all action items and certifications. However, if the
subsequent event occurs for the participant after the action item due date, the
application re-enrolls the participant from the suspended coverage and the
interim coverage become the actual coverage.
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack J.

3.2.1.4. Show/Hide Completed Action Items on Enrollment Action


Items Form (HR_FP J)
You can now control whether to display completed action items on the
Enrollment Action Items form or not.
• Select the Show Completed Action Items check box to display
all Completed and Open Action Items.
• Deselect the check box to hide the Completed Action Items.
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack J.

3.2.1.5. Manage Your Certification Requirements for Benefit


Elections (HR_FP J)
You can now define when the application should detect certifications for an
enrolling participant. Previously, when you defined certification, the
enrollment process required certification for each life event. During
implementation, you now select a certification requirement code so that the
enrollment process determines the certification requirement.
There may be cases where you want to always trigger a certification,
regardless of enrollment, while at others times you may not want to require a
certification if the participant has already provided one. In addition, this
change provides your enterprise with the ability to trigger a certification when
a person makes ANY change to an election, including dependent designations.
For example, you can now request a person to provide enrollment and
dependent certifications, while NOT suspending the participant’s election. In
addition, you can now better configure when the application requires a
certification if the person is currently enrolled in a compensation object.
Therefore, this change allows the participant to complete the enrollment and
to provide documentation at a later date. If the participant does not provide
the documentation, then the HR professional can determine if the person
should be allowed to continue coverage. The HR professional may also
manually adjust elections as needed.
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack J.

3.2.1.6. Override Benefit Plan Enrollments without Backing out Life


Events (HR_FP J)
You can now set your effective date to any date and override data without
first backing out subsequent life events. You will not need to reprocess life
events after you correct the data.
Caution: The administrator must ensure that while correcting any historical
life event data using the override form, they do not compromise data integrity.

file:///C|/Rel_12_HRMS_RCD.htm (47 of 287)3/21/2007 3:00:32 AM


RELEASE CONTENT DOCUMENT

In addition, users can now query all enrollment results valid for overriding.
Previously, the Overrides window only displayed the most recently closed life
event. The application now displays records for all valid life events, where
before it only displayed records for the current life event.
Previously, you could not enter data for all the defined, communicated, and
annual value fields. You can now enter values for one or more of these fields,
depending on the plan design setup.
Caution: With this change, all fields will be available for update. It is the
administrator’s responsibility to ensure that all the rates are corrected. This
applies to current and past enrollments. In addition, when you override a rate,
the application does not validate the rate periodization.
Finally, you can unsuspend (complete the action items) on enrollments
attached to previous events.
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack J.

3.2.1.7. View Self-Service Benefits Election & Current Benefits


Pages with Improved Page Layout (HR_FP J)
When you define a plan type with a Vertical Layout in Self-Service Benefits,
an enrollment check box now appears in a separate column on the Benefits
Selection page, along with the plan name.
Previously, the check box was attached to the first rate column. This
enhancement makes it clear to the user which compensation object he or she
is selecting when the rate appears other than in the first rate column.
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack J.

3.2.1.8. Coordinate Rate and Element Start Dates for Pay checks
that Begin in New Year (HR_FP J)
If you set up a payroll with check offset dates (positive) that may result in the
payroll ending in one plan year and the check date occurring in the next plan
year, you can now start the rate so that it starts on or after the event date.
For example, if the check offset date is 5 days and the payroll is monthly, the
first check in the new 2005 plan year will be Jan 5th 2005 for the payroll
ended 31-DEC-2004. Therefore, the rate needs to start before 31-DEC-04 to
appear on the first paycheck.
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack J.

3.2.1.9. Print Benefits Confirmation Statement (HR_FP J)


Self-Service Benefits now allows you to print the Confirmation Statement
page for the Benefits Enrollment flow and the Current Benefits flow.

file:///C|/Rel_12_HRMS_RCD.htm (48 of 287)3/21/2007 3:00:32 AM


RELEASE CONTENT DOCUMENT

You can now display a printable page button so that users can print a
summary statement of their benefits enrollment, along with their Signature, to
have as a proof for their records or to submit to an HR Representative if
required. The Confirmation Statement page of the Benefit Enrollment flow
now displays the summary of a participant’s benefits enrollment along with
any warning messages, oversights, or miscalculations the participant may
have made during the enrollment.
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack J.

3.2.1.10. Provide a Legal Disclaimer Page (HR_FP J)


You can now display a Legal Agreement page at the beginning of the flow.
The user must accept the terms in the Legal Agreement page to proceed to the
Benefits flow. If the user does not accept the agreement, the user will not be
able to proceed further. As an implementer, you can choose to show or hide
the Legal Agreement page, and you can configure the instruction text
displayed on the page with Communication Type Usages.
When a user agrees to the Legal Disclaimer, the application creates a person
communication record. Standard and Advanced Benefits users can report on
this information using System Extract. Advanced Benefits customers can
view a record of the acceptance for a person on the Person Communications
window.
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack J.

3.2.1.11. Execute Self-Service Benefits Trace (HR_FP J)


You can now configure an easy and flexible way of generating PYUPIP trace
files from self-service applications. This enhancement delivers a configurable
method, using a profile option, which allows you to trace the Self-Service
Benefits application on your instance with ease.
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack J.

3.2.1.12. Create PDF Output with System Extract (HR_FP J)


System Extract now allows you to customize the reporting style in PDF
output. You can then merge the predefined XDO template to the XML output
to create PDF output.
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack J.

3.2.1.13. Purge the Extract Change Log (HR_FP J)


During typical benefits administration, you extract only the data that changes
for a person over a given time period to send to benefits carriers and other

purge unwanted data from the extract change log tables.
Run the Extract Change Event Log Purge process from the Concurrent
Manager on a periodic basis to purge data by date or by person.
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack J.

3.2.1.14. Improve Performance for Unrestricted Enrollment


Processing (HR_FP J)
Customers who implement Standard Benefits or Individual Compensation
Distribution (ICD) use unrestricted enrollment in place of life events
processing, which is restricted to licensees of Advanced Benefits. Regardless
of the number of enrollments made for a person, a person only ever has one
unrestricted life event, which always remains in ‘started’ status. Prior to
Family Pack J, the Participation Process reused this one unrestricted life event
by completely deleting all data attached to it from the previous life event and
recreating data for the new event.
To enhance performance, the Participation Process now only deletes data
created by the previous run of the Participation Process if there are changes in
values. The process creates any new data that does not exist, and deletes data
that is no longer applicable.
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack J.

3.2.1.15. Create Discoverer Reports for Compensation Workbench


(HR_FP J)
The Discoverer End User Layer is extended to include the Compensation
Workbench participation data. Now you can create reports using Discoverer
that include compensation awarded through Compensation Workbench.

3.2.1.20. Perform Mass Updates of Grade and Step Rates (HR_FP J)


You can now perform a mass update of all grade and step rates in a grade
ladder using the Plan Design Wizard. Rather than updating each grade and
step rate manually, you can update all the rates attached to a grade ladder by a
specified percentage or amount, in a single step.
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack J.

3.2.1.21. Automatically Update Employee Salary if the Appropriate

file:///C|/Rel_12_HRMS_RCD.htm (51 of 287)3/21/2007 3:00:32 AM


RELEASE CONTENT DOCUMENT

Grade/Step Rate Changes (HR_FP J)


You can now automatically update employee salary, if there is a change in the
rates of the grade or step on which you placed the employee. Prior to FP-J the
application updated employee salary only when the employee moved to a new
grade or step but not when you changed the rate for the grade or step, for
example, because of a cost of living adjustment.
Recalculate Participant Values by using Grade/Step Progression process you
can now synchronize an employee's salary with the changes in the grade or
step rates that apply to the employee. This process applies only to those
employees whose grade ladder supports automatic salary updates.
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack J.

3.2.1.22. Specify the Starting Step in a Grade Step Sequence


(HR_FP J)
You can now specify the starting step in a grade step sequence with the
number of your choice. The number can be a positive or negative whole
number such as -1, 0, or, 1. The application automatically numbers each
subsequent step. For example, if you enter -2 as the Starting Step for a grade
step sequence that has four steps in it, the subsequent steps would be -1, 0,
and 1.
Prior to this enhancement, the application automatically took the number 1 as
the first step in a grade step sequence.
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack J.

3.2.1.23. Easier Setup for Grade/Step Progression (HR_FP J)


Easier Setup for Grade/Step Progression: Automatic Generation of Plan Type
and Life Events You no longer have to create the Grade/Step Progression
Plan Type and Grade/Step Progression Life Event as part of your Grade/Step
Progression setup. The application automatically creates the GSP Plan Type
and Life Events as of 01-Jan-1951, when you submit your newly created
grade ladder, provided you have not already created the plan type and life
events for your business group.
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack J.

3.2.1.24. Purge Grade/Step Progression Data from the Staging


Tables (HR_FP J)
A new process called GSP Purge Transactions in Staging Tables enables you
to clean up the staging tables and save storage space after you have created
the grade ladder. During the grade ladder setup, the application stores

temporary data that it uses to update and eventually create the grade ladder.
Once you have created the grade ladder, the application moves the data to the
Benefits HR table and you no longer require the temporary data.
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack J.

3.2.1.25. Automatically Update Assignment Records with Default


Grade Ladder Name (HR_FP J)
The Batch Enrollment - Grade/Step Progression process now updates
assignment records with the grade ladder name for employees who are on the
default grade ladder. Previously, the process only created benefits enrollment
records for such employees, without updating the assignment records. For the
default grade ladder to apply to an assignment the grades you assigned to the
assignment must be on the default grade ladder and you must not have
assigned any other grade ladder to the assignment using the Assignment
window.
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack J.

3.2.1.26. Budget and Allocate Awards across Business Groups


(HR_FP J)
Compensation Workbench enables managers to use four new global plan
structures to budget and allocate across business groups, between different
currencies, and plan types within the same compensation cycle.
The four new global plan structures available are:
• Global Basic
• Global Component
• Global Combination
• Global Standalone
Using this feature, Administrators can define local plans in the same or
different business groups with the same or different currency from the global
plan. Each local plan can have the same or different currency.
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack J.

3.2.1.27. Use New User Interface to Complete Different


Compensation Tasks (HR_FP J)
The new Compensation Workbench (CWB) user interface structure helps
support user-defined tasks. The task structure provides managers a better
understanding of the actions they need to take, the order in which they need to
take these actions, and the access level of each task.
In previous releases, administrators set up worksheet groups on the plan

3.2.1.29. Determine Eligibility for Compensation Plans in


Compensation Cycle (HR_FP J)
It is now possible to determine an individual's Eligibility for Compensation
Plans at any stage in the Compensation Cycle:
Before this release, once administrators had run the Participation Process:
Compensation, individuals who joined the organization after the life event
occurred date of the plan would not be eligible and could not receive awards
under the plan.
With this release, administrators can run the participation process for an
individual even after they run the Group Compensation process for a plan.
The Single Person Participation process determines a person's eligibility for
the plan and rates.
Administrators can run this process from the Administrator's page or from the
Submit Requests window.

3.2.1.49. Define Compensation Category at the Rate Level in


Compensation Workbench (HR_FP J)
With this release, you can limit the values that appear in the Change Reason
associated with a promotion or assignment change. To configure these values,
query the lookup type ‘EMP_ASSIGN_REASON’ and enter a lookup code
that contains ‘CWB’ within it. If none of the codes has ‘CWB’ within it,
Compensation Workbench displays all values.
Managers can now filter the worksheet to show each of the entire team of
their direct reports. Managers can also filter the worksheet by country (if
multiple countries are present). Before Family Pack J, managers were only
able to filter the worksheet to show direct reports only or all employees.
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack J.

3.2.1.50. Use New Filter Options in Compensation Workbench


Promotion Reasons and Worksheets (HR_FP J)
With Family Pack J, when you define Compensation Workbench Standard
Rates for certain global plan structures, you must select a Compensation

This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack K.

3.2.1.67. Define or Update User-Defined Criteria to Vary Pay by


Role or Level of Achievement (HR_FP K)
The Rate by Criteria system allows an employee to receive different rates of
pay that vary depending on the type of work the employee performs, the
location of the work, or other pre-defined criteria. Using this system, you can
define and update your own criteria and then define rates that vary based on
those criteria.
For example, a person performing the job of a Deep Sea Diver may receive an
extra allowance depending on how deep they dive. Using the rate by criteria
system, you can pay this person an extra $200 for every 1000 feet they dive,
above 10,000 feet. Using the Health and Welfare business area of the Plan
Design Wizard, you can define and update rates based on the depth that the
person dove.
This provides a mechanism to identify the persons whose rates are to be
determined by the Rate by Criteria system.
You can now create and update criteria-based rates from the Total
Compensation Setup Wizard (formerly the Plan Design Wizard)
Partial Rate by Criteria functionality like ability to create user defined criteria
was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack K.

agreements, personal actions, and any other functionality that uses the Total
Compensation eligibility model.
As part of defining your own eligibility criteria, you can now select from
criteria that restrict eligibility for a compensation object or a variable rate
based on the person’s organization hierarchy, position hierarchy, or a specific
node in either hierarchy. You also can select from criteria based on the
person’s Time in Organization, Time in Position, Time in Job, Time in Grade,

of non-monetary benefits that are either used as part of total remuneration or
as a compensation of expenses caused to the Employee at work. If the Value
of the benefit is substantial to the employee and it can be assumed that it is
meant to be part of salary, it is called benefit in Kind.
Benefits with substantial monetary value are usually Income taxable (e.g. Car
benefit). Taxability is usually very clearly defined by the tax administration.
Taxable benefits in Kind are now considered as Taxable income but not paid
as salary in money

element now falls into at least one of the broad categories of Income types,
which define required processes for the pay element. Some pay elements
require a unique set of details that must be recorded as defaults onto the pay
element as default values.
Such pay elements include several benefits in kind (Car benefit, Lunch
benefit). As these details are statutory requirements and issued by Finnish
authorities (usually tax-related and issued by Tax administration) this is now
available. For example, car benefit needs following details for statutory
calculation and reporting: Recent acquisition price, Mobilization year, Value
based on driver's log or equivalent and reliable method, Per cent per month of
the recent acquisition price, Eur per month (Excess), Eur per km, Accessories
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack K.

3.2.5.3. Holiday Calculation (HR_FP K)

principles commonly used in Finnish Benefits legislation: Principal of
earnings-relation and Principle of Advantageousness. Consequently, holiday
is not an absence type in a sense of other absences, but earned time off and
cannot be refused from the employee.
In most Finnish Collective Agreements, there are special regulations
regarding annual holidays. Holidays are earned either in days, hours or in
money (note the difference to e.g. Norwegian holiday earning system).
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack K.

3.2.5.4. Statutory Contributions (HR_FP K)


Accident Insurance Policy is a statutory Insurance policy for Finnish
Employers. The employer is obliged to take an Accident Insurance policy, in
one of the Finnish Accident Insurance Institutions for all the employees if the

days of all the workers together).
If Accident Insurance requirements apply for the Policy for the Employer, an
Unemployment Insurance policy is obligatory. Both employer and Employee
pay Unemployment Insurance contribution. Group Life insurance policy is
part of the Collective Agreements and taken from the Accident Insurance
Provider. Accident Insurance premium, Unemployment Insurance

Collective agreement level, or, on Company specific level are available. It is
typical that automatic salary increases apply to only certain personnel
categories and/or differ by the personnel categories (i.e. collective
Agreements).

time pays. Most common are Overall salary increases stated in collective
Agreements. They are average of 2.0 –2.5 per cent of base salaries and issued
yearly. Overall salary increases can be executed as a percentage of base salary
or a fixed amount.
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack K.

3.2.5.7. Statutory Union Membership Fees (HR_FP K)

directed in several Collective Agreements. If mentioned in Collective
Agreement, Employer is obliged to deduct the membership fees directly from
the net salary and account them to Trade Unions. Most of the Trade Unions in
Finland allow electronic transfer for payments.

3.2.5.8. Absences (11i_HR_FPK_RUP1)


Country-specific Absence types and requirements are included. In addition,
Absences can be processed on Assignments. Absence details are needed for
salary calculation processes, Head counting and numerous reporting, e.g. to
Employers’ Organizations and Pension Insurance providers.
As calculation, reporting and payment rules are largely determined in the
Collective Agreements and/or by the Authorities, a templated framework is
supported rather than a full setup for one specific set of rules. This enables
supporting of several absence type classifications and calculations.
Furthermore, Absence calculation is essential for the sick pay calculation,
which is a statutory requirement in Finland in most industries
This feature was first released in the Oracle Human Resources Family Pack K
Roll up Patch.

3.2.5.9. Holiday Calculation (11i_HR_FPK_RUP1)


Holiday legislation follows two main principles commonly used in Finnish
Benefits legislation: Principal of Earnings-relation and Principle of
Advantageousness. Consequently, Holiday is not an absence type in a sense
of other absences, but earned time off and cannot be refused from the
employee.
In Finland, Holidays are earned either in days, hours or in money. The Payroll
system must also be able to produce an amount of Holiday pay for the given
(spending) holiday period. Alternatively, if the employee/payee does not
spend the holidays they must be paid in money (Holiday compensation) either
at termination or, during employment.
Holiday Accruals, Entitlements and Payments are supported according to the
Finnish Annual Holiday Act. Furthermore, other Holiday calculation and
payment types can be set up, by combining the calculation rules delivered in
the Finnish localization, e.g. Holiday bank or Winter holiday extension.

3.2.14.1. Define OSP Schemes for Part-time Employees (HR_FP J)


You can now use the payroll templates that you use to define days-based OSP
schemes to define OSP schemes for part-time employees. The template
generates a user-defined entitlement table where you can enter the percentage
of earnings to pay for the absence scheme and the length of time for which it
is payable. For part-time employees, the formulas that the template generates
now prorate these entitlement values based on the number of days per week
that the part-time employee works. The formulas also prorate the OSP
entitlement values if, during the OSP year, an employee has changed the
number of days they work per week.
The payroll templates for hours-based OSP schemes currently accommodate
part-time employees by multiplying the OSP entitlement values (as entered on
the user definable table) by an employees FTE value. Now, the template-
generated formulas also identify any changes to the FTE value made within
the current OSP year and prorate the OSP entitlement values accordingly.
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack J.

3.2.14.2. Create Unpaid Absence Schemes using the Payroll


Templates (HR_FP J)

Loss of Pay figure for the absence period or for the current pay period if the
absence has no end date. These elements and formulas meet the typical
requirements, but you can also configure them to suit the requirements of
your enterprise.
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack J.

3.2.14.3. Create Civil Service OSP Schemes using the Payroll


Templates (HR_FP J)
You can now create the OSP scheme for UK Civil Service using the payroll
templates. The appropriate template generates the relevant elements and
formulas to meet the Civil Service OSP scheme requirements. It also
generates the appropriate entitlement values for both the one-year and four
year OSP periods.
To accommodate part-time employees, the formulas that the template
generates use the part-time functionality for days-based schemes to prorate
these entitlement values based on the number of days per week that the part-
time employee works. You can also associate unpaid absence plans to the
OSP scheme so that you can extend the one and four-year periods by periods
of unpaid leave in accordance with the Civil Service scheme rules.
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack J.

3.2.14.4. Create UK Local Government OSP Schemes using Payroll


Templates (HR_FP J)
You can now use the payroll templates to create the UK Local Government
OSP scheme. The appropriate template generates the relevant elements and
formulas to meet the Local Government OSP scheme requirements. It also
generates the appropriate length of service bands and the corresponding
entitlement values for this scheme.
To accommodate part-time employees, the formulas that the template
generates use the new part-time functionality for days-based schemes to
prorate these entitlement values based on the number of days per week that
the part-time employee works. You can also associate unpaid absence plans to
the OSP scheme so that you can extend the 365-day OSP period by periods of
unpaid leave in accordance with the Local Government scheme rules.

3.2.15.1. Integrate Oracle Payroll with OSS Financial Aid to Process


Student Earnings (HR_FP J)
In this release, HRMS is integrated in all legislations with Oracle Student
System (OSS). In the U.S., this integration enables you to process the
earnings of student employees efficiently and legally using Oracle Payroll. As
a prerequisite for use of Oracle Payroll, you create student records in HRMS
using data extracted from OSS.
HRMS supplies an earnings template to create element types for student
employees and a concurrent program to generate earnings element entries
using data from OSS Financial Aid; therefore, the overhead of including
student employees in a payroll is minimal. In addition, HRMS transfers
payroll data for student employees to the OSS Financial Aid module on
request so that OSS payment records are maintained.

3.2.16.5. Grant Retention Allowance Based on Percentage (HR_FP J)


You now enter Retention Allowance by specifying a percentage. The
application stores the percent entered and the resulting amount.
Recalculations of Retention Allowance based on percent produce results that
are more accurate. If the totals cause the person’s Total Pay to exceed the
salary cap, the application alerts you and provides information on what steps
to take.
When you grant a Retention Allowance of 25%, the application no longer
rounds down the resulting amount to the nearest dollar, but enters the actual
total in dollars.
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack J.

3.2.16.6. Grant Relocation and Recruitment Bonuses Based on


Percentage (HR_FP J)
To simplify data entry and provide greater consistency, you enter a percent
when you process NOACs 815 Recruitment and 816 Relocation Bonus
actions. The application calculates the resulting amount and stores the percent
and amount as well as the expiration date of the associated service agreement
in the Assignment element.
For employees on Expert (EE) pay plans, you can grant a Recruitment and
Relocation Bonus that exceeds the normal limit of 25% of the person’s basic
salary.

3.3. Enterprise and Workforce Management


3.3.1. Enterprise and Workforce Management - Core:
These new and changed features are available in these family packs:

3.3.1.1. Add Positions to Control Budgets and Edit Budget Data


(HR_FP J)
You can now view budget information related to a position on a new Budgets
tab found in the Position and Position Transaction windows, enabling you to
work on budget data while creating or updating a position. You can add a
position to existing control budgets by selecting a budget version, and enter
budget details to the level of the budget period. Using a default budget set,
you can also provide budget element and funding source information. You
can review budget information for a position on a single form, without having
to query multiple budgets to determine which ones contain the position.
Implementers and system administrators can hide the Budgets tab from all
position users by setting a form function parameter on the Position form, or
grant View and Edit permissions on the Position Transaction form by HRMS
role or task.
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack J.

3.3.1.2. Search for Configurable Business Rules by Reference Rule


or Business Group (HR_FP J)
You can now use Reference Rule and Business Group as searchable criteria
when you query configurable business rules.
Additional improvements to the CBR function flag incomplete rule setup. If
you change the business group for an existing rule in the budget reallocation
category, the application reminds you to complete your setup by re-validating
and reapplying rule conditions using attributes available in the new business
group. The rule displays a status of Incomplete on the Search page until you
complete your configuration. Similarly, a status of Incomplete reminds you to
finish your setup if you have not yet defined and applied rule conditions.
HRMS has improved list filtering available from the Rule Characteristics
page. This page now displays only those organization hierarchies in the
business group you specify, and then filters the Starting Organization list to
display only organizations found in the hierarchy. When you define rule
characteristics in the Budget Reallocation category and search for messages,
the application filters the list to display only budget reallocation messages.
You can now view the full scope associated with a rule (business group,

processes, you now have the option of attaching secure versions of the
functions to menus. Subsequently, users work with secure versions of the
Position Copy and Mass Position Update windows, and see only those
positions within their security profile.
When querying positions to copy or update, you can now use Hiring Status
and Position Type as additional search criteria in the Criteria window. A new
function parameter (SHOW_COMBINATIONS) restricts users from seeing
positions across business groups in the Position, Position Transaction, or
Position Copy windows during a search. You do this by showing or hiding the
Combinations button, restricting users from performing secondary queries.
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack J.

3.3.1.4. Manage and Search Work Structures Easily Using


Graphical Charting Capabilities (HR_FP J)

3.3.1.8. Legal Entity Rearchitecture (HR_R12)


Impact of Legal Entity Rearchitecture in HRMS: Financials legal entities are
currently implemented as organizations in the HR org model. They use a
classification of HR_LEGAL (GRE / Legal Entity), which is an org
classification that is shared with HR.
They will no longer be maintained using the HR Define Org form. However,
Financials legal entity orgs that existed in 11i will continue to be visible
through the Define Org form in Release 12.
Financials Legal Entities will be stored in a new model based on TCA in R12.
In Release 12, Financials Legal Entities will be maintained using the new
Legal Entity Configurator, which can optionally be called from the
Accounting Setup Manager UI (ASM).
Any changes to Financials Legal Entities org definitions that are made using
the Legal Entity Configurator will NOT be reflected back in the HR org
model. No teams should be referencing the old Financials LE org definitions
in HR in Release 12.
The Legal Entities team is providing a new set of APIs that all teams must use
for accessing and maintaining Financials legal entities in Release 12.

3.4. Workforce Sourcing and Deployment


3.4.1. Workforce Sourcing and Deployment - Core HRMS:
This section describes the new features delivered in Core HRMS in Oracle
Human Resources Family Pack J, Family Pack K and the Family Pack K Roll
up Patch

3.4.1.1. Avoid Session Time-Out Errors When Terminating a Person


(HR_FP J)
In HRMS, all employees, contingent workers, and applicants have both a
legislative record (identified by a person ID) and a corporate record
(identified by a party ID). A person's legislative record is available in a single
business group only. A person's corporate record, which is held in Trading
Community Architecture (TCA) tables, is available across business groups
and other E-Business applications.
When you terminate an applicant, employee, or contingent worker, who is
also a contact for another member of your workforce, or who has an Oracle
Advanced Benefits record, HRMS deletes their corporate record, to prevent
their personal information being available outside their business group. This
deletion can occur only if another E-Business application does not reference
the record. The Purge Parties process, which determines whether a party ID is
referenced by other E-Business applications, can take a long time to run and
may time out.
In this release, HRMS separates the termination process from the Purge
Parties process. The termination process now simply breaks the link between
the person ID and the party ID, which allows the process to complete without
timing out. You can remove the corporate records of people you have
terminated at a convenient time using the Unmerge contacts from TCA (TCA
Purge Only) concurrent process.
System Implications
To ensure that the required person records are deleted from TCA you must
schedule the Unmerge contacts from TCA (TCA Purge Only) concurrent
process to run regularly.
If you are upgrading from a release prior to PER Family Pack J, then you
must correct the existing applicant records to use the enhanced applicant
functionality released in this family pack.
If you are using the new Apply for Job function released as part of PER
Family Pack J, then you need not define the values for the lookup type
VACANCY_CATEGORY to advertise vacancies in Oracle SSHR. You can
leave the Job Category field blank while defining vacancy information in the

Requisition and Vacancy window of Oracle HRMS.


This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack J.

3.4.1.2. Extended Applicant Functionality to Apply for Jobs and


Terminate Applications Easily (HR_FP J)
Employees and contingent workers can now apply for employment even if
future dated or end-dated changes exist on the person record. For example, an
employee can apply for a job even if future dated change such as termination
exists on the person record. Oracle HRMS now enables ex-applicants to apply
for jobs the day after their previous application ends. With this release,
managers can terminate applicants even if changes exist for the applicant
record after the proposed termination date.
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack J.

3.4.1.3. Apply for Jobs Using Oracle SSHR (HR_FP J)


Oracle SSHR now enables employees and contingent workers to search for
jobs and apply online. Search criteria include job location and vacancy date.
This module does not route the applications to worker's manager for approval,
thus ensuring that the applications remain confidential. Hiring managers can
view and process the applications using the Mass Updates of Applicants
window.
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack J.

3.4.1.4. Integrate HRMS with Oracle Student System to Include


Student Employees in Your Payroll (HR_FP J)
In some legislation, students may follow work-study programs. Typically, the
government or the educational establishment the student attends wholly or
partially funds the employment component of the program. For example, in
the U.S. federal work-study funds can pay for the student's employment in
community service, America Reads, or America Counts programs.
You may want to include students who are also employees in your payroll.
This enhancement enables you to create student records in HRMS,
individually or in bulk, using a new UI, or WebADI from Oracle Student
System (OSS). Once you have created student records in HRMS, HRMS
automatically synchronizes any change you make to a student's record (for
example, a change of address or contact details) to the equivalent record in
OSS. Thus, the potential burden of creating and maintaining duplicate student
records is minimized.

3.4.1.15. Amend FPD and Re-hire before FPD (11i_HR_FPK_RUP1)


Several Oracle HR customers previously encountered issues when trying to
change an employee' Hire Date after including them in a Payroll run. This
was because the system placed strict restrictions on the extent to which this
could be done.
The application also previously prevented any change to the Final Process
Date. Additionally, the system prevents the re-hiring of a person to the same
organization before the Final Process Date of the previous Period of Service.
The functionality delivered by this Enhancement now addresses these
restrictions.

experience in private sector is calculated from the hire date of the current
employment. However, if there are several time-fixed contracts following
each other, they are all considered as one continuous employment. As

bank. This requires bank connection software, which is provided by payer’s


account holding bank. Specific transfer records can now be used.
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack K.

3.5.7.2. Negative Payments (HR_FP K)


Negative payments may occur in Finnish payroll processing. Typically,
negative salary occurs when after tax deductions exceed net salary.
Normally, negative salary is rolled over to the next possible pay period/
payroll run. If this is not possible, it is now possible to set up a compensatory
payment process for the reimbursement, e.g. produce an invoice for the
employee with appropriate details.
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack K.

3.5.7.3. File for payments from Payroll to Payee (HR_FP K)


In Finland, all salaries are paid to the Employee’s bank account. Cash
payments are very rare and exceptions form the rule of bank payment, and
payments by check do not exist. Salaries can now be paid out as one lump
sum from employer’s bank account and distributed to multiple payees by the
Distributor bank. These are called recurrent payments.
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack K.

3.5.7.4. After Tax Deductions (HR_FP K)

are obliged to make the deductions from net salary ordered by Forced order
and account them to the local Magistrates’ courts. Statutory deductions of
Union membership fees are directed in several Collective Agreements. If
mentioned in Collective Agreement, Employer is obliged to deduct the
membership fees directly from the net salary and account them to Trade
Unions.
All other after tax deductions are not statutory requirements, however, there is
a strong business need for minimum of following after tax deduction types: ·
Employer’s Set-off (Employment Contract Act 26) voluntary Pension benefit
fees· other deductions (Personnel purchases, etc.)

This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack K.

3.5.7.8. Employer Insurances (HR_FP K)


All statutory contributions use salary information when they are being
calculated. Even if the contribution/fee is not deducted from Employee and
therefore does not have a link to Withholding tax calculation, it should be
possible to process such payments through Payroll.
For example, Accident insurance premium is solely paid by Employer;
however, to calculate the premium, Payroll now provides with a report to the
Accident insurance provider, containing information about individual
Employees’ occupational groups and overall salary details. Therefore, payroll
system now calculates not only individual Employee’s salary and tax details
but also salary details for reporting and calculating Employer’s statutory
payments as a “lump sum”.
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack K.

3.5.7.9. Gross to Net (HR_FP K)


The way Withholding tax must be calculated and deducted is regulated in
Preliminary Taxation Decree (section 3, 15§). According to the Finnish Tax
Legislation, Employee can only have one Primary Employment.
This is taxed according to the Primary (i.e. main) Employment tax card
details. Employee decides which of the employments the Primary
employment is. The remaining employments are secondary employments and
are taxed according to the secondary tax card (=extra income) tax card details.

file:///C|/Rel_12_HRMS_RCD.htm (175 of 287)3/21/2007 3:00:32 AM

payments: Tax calculation and Filing period. In Finnish, tax calculation,
cumulative tax calculation method on legal employer level as well as periodic
salary limits on employment level give additional requirements for retro-pay
process. In addition, Tax period/Tax year and statutory Employer/Employee
insurance periods are considered when processing retro-payments across
filing or reporting periods.
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack K.

3.5.7.11. Net to Gross Requirements in Finland (HR_FP K)


Employers can now calculate in advance, what the cost effect of a given pay-
raise would be. In addition, there are numerous cases when Employer wants
to pay extra bonuses or rewards to the employee, without any Employee
charges.
If the amount of reward is substantial (more than approx. 50 Euro), Tax
Administration treats rewards as Taxable income. In such case, Employer
may need to know the cost effect for the Employer as well as the Gross
amount giving a zero-cost result for the employee.

Directive Number. (Directive Number is for tax on Lumpsums only). These


contexts make it possible to use Enhanced Retropay to correct Clearance
Numbers and Directive Numbers that have been entered incorrectly.
Enhanced Context Balances also make it possible to insert a Clearance
Number or Directive Number that was not known at the time the relevant
payment / contribution was made, again Enhanced Retropay must be used to
make this correction.
New input values for Clearance and Directive Number will be created
automatically when elements with the relevant secondary classifications are

3.5.23.18. Balance Feed Enhancements (11i_HR_FPK_RUP1)


Core Payroll has made some changes to the Balance/ Classification model
enabling ZA HRMS to greatly simplify the calculation of tax and the
generation of the tax year end reports and processes. The only functional
impact of these changes is with regards to the setup of user elements; this has
been simplified. It is now no longer necessary to select an RFIable / NRFIable
secondary classification such as, for example, RFIable Normal Income or
NRFIable Fringe Benefit. It is only necessary to choose the applicable “SARS
Code” secondary classification, e.g. Annual Bonus RFI or Travel Allowance
NRFI and the relevant RSCable, UIFable etc… secondary classifications.
Existing user elements will be automatically upgraded when applying
the RUP, to remove any redundant secondary classifications.
Balance Categories have been introduced for use with user created balances.
There is a balance category for each of the existing primary element
classifications. By categorizing user balances according to one of these
balance categories, Run Level Balances will be stored for these user balances,
which will improve payroll performance.
This feature was first released in the Oracle Human Resources Family Pack K

RELEASE CONTENT DOCUMENT

3.6. Human Resource Information Systems


3.6.1. Human Resource Information Systems – Core HRMS

Self-Service Human Resources

3.6.1.1. Secure Access to Candidate Records (HR_FP J)


You can now create security profiles to enable or restrict access to person
records for iRecruitment candidates. This enhancement provides an additional
layer of security for Candidate Management as Oracle HRMS now separates
candidates from other person types.
Oracle HRMS also provides a process to enable iRecruitment users to update
their existing security profiles to enable or restrict access to candidate records.
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack J.

3.6.1.2. Display and Administrate Responsibilities Owned (SSHR)


(HR_FP J)
As an administrator or implementer, you can now associate ownership to
responsibilities and display a list of those responsibilities for which you have
ownership. You can display the number of users who have access to each
responsibility both within and outside of your organization and revoke access
if required.
This provides additional security as you can restrict people outside of
organization from having access to responsibilities. If you revoke access to a
responsibility, the affected user receives notification of the change.
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack J.

3.6.1.3. Search for Terminated Employees (SSHR) (HR_FP J)


You can now search for ex-employees/terminated employees when using
selected self-service functions. This enables self-service users to query
information for persons with the person type Ex-Employee.
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack J.

3.6.1.4. Enter and Maintain Additional Information in Flexfields


(SSHR) (HR_FP J)
Additional Flexfield support is now available for selected self-service
functions. This enables self-service users to enter and maintain additional
information using the self-service interface.
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack J.

3.6.1.5. Personalize Extra Information Types (SSHR) (HR_FP J)


You can now carry out additional personalization tasks on Extra Information
Types (EITs) in SSHR. You can display and restrict the EIT segments
displayed on SSHR pages, providing personalized data entry and maintenance
capabilities.
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack J.

3.6.1.6. Include Current Values in PDF or RTF Documents Attached


to Self-Service Actions (HR_FP J)
As an enhancement to Document Management features, you can now include
current attribute values in addition to proposed values in documents attached
to self-service actions. You can now attach RTF documents to transactions
and map RTF form fields to transaction attributes, using features similar to
those already available for PDF documents and form fields.
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack J.

3.6.1.7. Include Pay Change and Header Information in Documents


Attached to Self-Service Actions (HR_FP J)
You can now attach documents to Pay Change transactions, and include
attribute values related to the pay change in the documents. Header
information values summarizing a person's record are now available for
inclusion in attachments. Additional document management enhancements
enable you to find documents in the database using the effective date as a
search criterion, and reactivate end-dated documents.
You can more easily maintain versions of attribute mappings that reflect
current policy and active document versions. Document Management now
supports converting documents from one type to another (Pre Approval, Post
Approval, or Both).
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack J.

3.6.1.8. Include Default Position Information in Assignment Actions


(HR_FP J)
You can now configure the application to populate default position data on
the Assignment page automatically when you select a position. You can
configure a new user profile (HR: Position Default Options for SSHR) to
populate Department, Job, Grade, Payroll, Supervisor, Probation Period,
Bargaining Unit, Salary Basis, Work Hours, and Location. Implementers can
choose whether to populate default data with no warning, display a warning,
and ask the user to decide, or turn off position defaulting.

documents related to self-service actions (proposed values are supported
today)
Users are now able to end-date documents and reactivate them later for the
first time Include Pay Change and header info in documents attached to self-
service actions
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack J.

3.6.1.11. Data Driven Approach for Generating Urls Based On


Topics Integrated By Consumer Teams (HR_FP J)
Previously every team that needs a context-based search had to create their

file:///C|/Rel_12_HRMS_RCD.htm (253 of 287)3/21/2007 3:00:32 AM


RELEASE CONTENT DOCUMENT

own handler (extending the 'Handler' class provided by the KI team). The new
class builds the URL by extracting the contexts and based on the providers,
generates the URL string. This is common task all consumer teams need to
do. Enhancements to the KI generic handler make it data driven to generate
these URLs. This request has come from RI team but it is applicable to all
consumer teams.
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack J.

3.6.1.12. SSHR Approvals - Roles, FYI and TimeOut (HR_FP K)


SSHR Approvals notifies approvers who are just FND User or roles such as
Position. FYI notifiers as derived from AME are now also notified. TimeOut
support is available. Out of the box has 30 days as timeout value and
customer can change it to preferred value. As it times out it reads AME rules
and notifies accordingly.
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack K

3.6.1.13. Employment Verification (HR_FP K)


Functionality now allows Employees to share their Employment or
Employment and Salary Information to Verifiers for Loan and various other
needs.
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack K.

3.6.1.14. Static User Security Enhancements Phase 1


(11i_HR_FPK_RUP1)
Customers who have large numbers of static users defined in their security
profiles are encountering performance issues. This is because the Security
List Maintenance program (PERSLM), process re-evaluates all static users'
permissions and does not provide any mechanism to re-evaluate permissions
for just one user.
Therefore a routine is required to allow the permissions for one particular
static user for one security profile to be re-evaluated (and stored in the tables)
on an ad hoc basis
This feature was first released in the Oracle Human Resources Family Pack K
Roll up Patch.

3.6.1.15. HR Views: Support Element Set to Determine Which


Elements to Be Displayed (11i_HR_FPK_RUP1)
HR views are enhanced to support element set to determine which elements to
be displayed.

file:///C|/Rel_12_HRMS_RCD.htm (254 of 287)3/21/2007 3:00:32 AM


RELEASE CONTENT DOCUMENT

By default the HR Views module 'Compensation Activity' Tab renders


compensation activity details with ALL the 'elements' associated with HR
record of the selected person, including elements with NULL value
This enhancement enables you to filter which elements will be displayed for
the selected HR records. Additionally the code displays ONLY elements with
non-null value for the elements included in the element set.
This feature was first released in the Oracle Human Resources Family Pack K
Roll up Patch.

3.6.1.16. Use Preferred Currency for Self-Service Transactions


(HR_R12)
You can use the General Preferences page in SSHR to specify a preferred
currency for certain SSHR transactions. If, as a Manager, your preferred
currency differs from the operating currency for a direct report, you can see
the transaction amount in both currencies in selected SSHR pages. The
currencies are displayed in the format:
• Operating currency (Preferred currency), for example,
• 5,979.02 USD (5,315.69 EUR)

3.6.1.17. Display Person Names Consistently in SSHR Pages


(HR_R12)
In Release 11i Family Pack K, Oracle HRMS introduced the person-name
formats function, which enables you to define person-name formats to meet
enterprise and legislation requirements. HRMS provides some commonly
required format definitions, which you can edit. You can also create your own
format definitions for use in custom code.
In Release 12, Oracle HRMS uses the supplied List Name format type to
display person names consistently in all SSHR pages. You can edit the
supplied format definition to suit local requirements, if appropriate. The
setting of the profile option HR: Local or Global Name Format determines the
character set in which users see person names in SSHR pages.
Display Person Names Consistently in SSHR Pages: System Implications
As List Name is a stored format, Oracle recommends that you run the Update
Person Names concurrent program at a convenient time to ensure that all
person names appear in the correct format in SSHR pages. You must also run
this concurrent program if you edit the supplied List Name format definition.

3.6.1.18. Leave Management UI Enhancements (HR_R12)


Leave Management UI Enhancements is a rewrite of the pages for the

file:///C|/Rel_12_HRMS_RCD.htm (255 of 287)3/21/2007 3:00:32 AM

existing SSHR Leave of Absence functionality. In addition to the UI


improvements, some new functionality has been added; the use of a generic
approval process to provide improved support and maintenance, and an
attachments feature allowing the user to attach supporting documents to an
absence request.

3.6.1.19. Transaction History Enhancements (HR_R12)


SSHR now provides comprehensive API' for SS transaction data archive and
retrieval. The API's cater for both transaction data archive and approval
routing history for all SS transactions in HRMS.

• pay_au_module_parameters
This feature was first released in Oracle Human Resources Family Pack J.

3.6.3. Human Resources Information Systems – Canada

3.6.3.1. Employment Equity Interface to EECRS (HR_R12)


This interface allows clients to import employment equity information from
Oracle HR to the Employment Equity Computerized Reporting System
(EECRS).

3.9.1. Oracle iRecruitment Mini-pack E
All features listed are already available but these were not released as a part
of 11.5.10 so they are now released with R12. The following functionality
was first released in Oracle iRecruitment Mini-Pack E (11i.IRC.E)

3.9.1.1. Automate the Job Offer Process (11i.IRC.E)


iRecruitment now enables your enterprise to automate the entire job offer
process.
Using iRecruitment, you can now manage the key offer tasks:
• Create offers: Identify applicants in your enterprise and create
offers for successful applicants. The offer includes details such as the
applicant's job title, terms, and conditions of employment including
salary and benefits. When you create offers, you can use the Offers
Equity Analysis for Organization report to make an informed salary
allocation for applicants. You can assign appropriate compensation
plans for applicants.
• Use approval process for offers: Route offers through an
approval process to ensure that the offer details are correct and meet
requirements of your enterprise.
• Create offer letters: Create offer letters for your business group,
organization, jobs, or positions using predefined or custom templates.
• Send offers: Send offers online or send paper copies to
applicants.
• Track responses: View response of applicants to job offers. You
can also record an applicant's response to a job offer, if you hear from
the applicant or receive a written note.

RELEASE CONTENT DOCUMENT

• Extend duration of offers: Extend job offers if offers approach


the closing date. You can also extend an offer if an applicant requests
for more time to evaluate the offer.
• Maintain offers: Carry out tasks related to an offer, for example
update an offer to include the revised compensation and enter notes
for the offer. Place an offer on hold if the relevant project is cancelled
or if there is recruitment freeze in your enterprise.
This feature was first released in Oracle iRecruitment Mini-Pack E.

3.9.1.2. Use Third Party Agencies for Recruitment (11i.IRC.E)


If you work with recruiting agencies to assist in your recruitment process, you
can now manage a range of activities using the iRecruitment agencies
functionality.
You can define the agencies that your enterprise uses and define users to
access iRecruitment. Your managers can identify one or more agencies to
assist with recruiting for a vacancy. Selecting agencies enables them to view
the vacancy and add applicants to the vacancy. Managers can specify the
duration that the agencies can access the vacancy and limit the number of
applicants that agencies can submit. This prevents agencies from
indiscriminately submitting many applications. Managers can now enable the
agency to view and progress applicants through the entire application process.
Managers and agency users can now create details of new candidates and
submit job applications on behalf of the candidates. Agencies can view details
of their candidates only. They cannot see self-registered and other agency
candidates, unless they get permission to manage a specific vacancy.
This feature was first released in Oracle iRecruitment Mini-Pack E.

3.9.1.3. Use iRecruitment High Availability Feature (11i.IRC.E)


When you shut down the iRecruitment instance to carry out maintenance
tasks, your job site is not available for candidates to search and apply for jobs.
iRecruitment provides the high availability (HA) functionality to set up an
alternate or high availability instance to make the basic candidate job site
available. This functionality enables you to switch between the two instances
to continuously support the candidate job site. The HA instance includes a
basic job site that enables job seekers to apply for jobs and enter basic
information such as their e-mail address, first name, and last name.
This feature was first released in Oracle iRecruitment Mini-Pack E.

3.9.1.4. Use Different Transfer Methods to Send Job Details (11i.

RELEASE CONTENT DOCUMENT

In addition to sending the job postings to third-party job sites through HTTP,
you can now send the postings by e-mail or File Transfer Protocol (FTP).

accepts job postings through HTTP, e-mail, or FTP.
This feature was first released in Oracle iRecruitment Mini-Pack E.

3.9.1.5. View Details of Candidates Easily (11i.IRC.E)


Using the tabbed regions of the Candidate Details page, managers, recruiters,
or agency users can now view details of the candidates, such as application
and offer, from a single page with minimal navigation.

3.9.1.6. Process Candidates Using the Resumes Search (11i.IRC.E)


Managers can process candidates after a resume search. They can send
invitations to apply for jobs, consider, reject, or refer candidates after
searching through the resumes. Prior to this enhancement, the ability to
process candidates was available only from the Prospect Pool and Individuals
pages.
This feature was first released in Oracle iRecruitment Mini-Pack E.

3.9.1.7. Use Default Grade Values (11i.IRC.E)


When managers create vacancy details, they select a grade for the vacancy.
Now you can set up a default grade for a job or a position to automatically
display grades during vacancy creation. If more than one valid grade is
defined for the job or position, then the first grade will default.
You can now ensure that managers select only valid grades while defining the
vacancy details. When managers select a grade, the minimum and the
maximum salary values, and the currency value defined for that grade appear
automatically on the Create Vacancy: Primary Details page.
This feature was first released in Oracle iRecruitment Mini-Pack E.

3.9.1.8. Use Location to Search Candidates (11i.IRC.E)


iRecruitment extends the location search to find candidates. Managers and
agencies can enter a city or a zip code and find candidates within a certain
distance of that location.

easily using a single page. They can use the new Add Skills page to search
skill types and select multiple skills.
This feature was first released in Oracle iRecruitment Mini-Pack E.

3.9.1.12. Create Resumes Online (11i.IRC.E)


If candidates do not have resumes, they can create their resumes online as a
part of the registration process. Oracle iRecruitment uses the candidate's
personal and professional information to automatically create a resume in
HTML, based on the candidate's choice of the format. The application adds
the automatically generated resume to the profile of the candidate so that
managers can search on it.
This feature was first released in Oracle iRecruitment Mini-Pack E.

3.9.1.13. Enable Self-Registration for Ex-employees (11i.IRC.E)


If ex-employees want to register with iRecruitment they need not re-enter all
their personal information. Once they identify themselves using unique
information such as last name and date of birth, iRecruitment retrieves their
previous employee account and automatically creates a new user account
based on the existing information. Ex-employees can review and update this
information, if required.
