Work Structures Overview

Work Structures Overview


This topic provides an overview of the components of work structures and how to represent
your enterprise and employer structures using Oracle HRMS.
Work Structures provides the framework in which you place people. It includes:
• Enterprise and employer structures such as business groups, organizations and legal
entities
• Work roles for employees such as Jobs and Positions
• Grade structures with related pay rates
• Payroll Groups with processing calendars
• User defined groups such as unions or pension groups
You can also create the work structures for your enterprise, operating companies, and legal
entities, using Oracle HRMS Configuration Workbench. You need the HRMS Rapid
Implementation Workbench responsibility to perform the tasks in the Configuration
Workbench. For information about how to use Oracle HRMS Configuration Workbench,
please see the Getting Started Guide on Metalink, Note ID: 281421.1.

Representing the Employer

Representing the Employer


Oracle HRMS enables you to represent the employer as:
• A single company with all of its offices in one country
• An international company with offices overseas but with a single reporting structure
• A multi-national company with subsidiary companies, each with its own reporting and
management structures

Enterprise Models Using Configuration Workbench

Enterprise Models Using Configuration Workbench


As a best practice in configuration, Oracle HRMS Configuration Workbench provides four
basic configuration models as starting points that will help you configure the management and
operating structures of your enterprise faster.
The four configuration models define the basic information model to represent any enterprise.
For example, the recruiting processes in a public sector authority may be very different from a
commercial enterprise yet both may share a common application configuration model to
represent work structures. In the same way, a multi-national commercial enterprise may have
common recruiting processes with a single national commercial enterprise, yet their basic work
structure configuration needs, and therefore the models, would be different.
You can operate common or diverse business processes in any of these configuration models.
In each of these configuration models you will probably have to add other location and internal
work structures that represent:
• divisions or departments
• financial reporting companies and cost centers
• service center organizations and project (or activity) based teams
• combinations of lines of business.

These are the organizations that define your internal operational or reporting structures for
specific legal, personnel, and financial management requirements.

Business Groups in Oracle HRMS

Business Groups in Oracle HRMS


Business groups in Oracle HRMS:
• Represent a legislative grouping (typically a country where your enterprise has a fair
number of employees)
• Serves as a container for the organizations in your enterprise that exist in a specific
country
• Enable grouping and managing data in accordance with the legislative rules and reporting
requirements of a single country, and to control access to localized data
By default, all employees receive an assignment to the business group you choose when you
sign on. When you enter assignment details to internal organizations such as divisions or
departments, you replace the default assignment. Though the employee has assignments in the
internal organizations, the employee continues to exist within the business group. Personal,
work and pay details are regulated by the legislation of the business group.

Startup Business Group

Startup Business Group


Oracle HRMS comes with one predefined business group that has the U.S. legislation code and
U.S. dollar as the default currency. This default group is for users of Oracle Applications who
do not intend to use HR. Typically, you set up a new business group with your own choice of
default information.
If your enterprise has implemented other Oracle applications like Oracle Financials, then you
may already have the startup business group in use. In such a case, you must discuss with your
implementer.

One or Many Business Groups

One or Many Business Groups


You can have several reasons for creating one or many business groups in your enterprise and
keep sets of data separated.
For example, in the above slide, there are three business groups. The US business group has
two legal entities. The ultimate legal entity belongs to the US business group. The UK business
group has two legal entities. Note that Legal Entity 02 US is common across the US business
group and the UK business group.
Typically, you create multiple business groups if your enterprise operates from multiple
countries.
Additionally, you create multiple business groups if:
• You want a copy of your live system with example records for training or testing
purposes
• You are a holding company with a number of subsidiary companies and each subsidiary
has its own structures, employees, and compensation and benefit policies
• You acquire or merge with another company and you want to manage separate structures
and processes during a transition phase
