There are two options available to US customers wanting to outsource their payrolls to a third-party
payroll service provider:
» Using predefined extract definitions for ADP Connection for PayForce. The reference documents
listed contain detailed information about this interface and will not be covered in this guide.
» Using the inbound and outbound interface provided with the Global Payroll Interface. This enables
the application to interact with third-party payroll service providers. It also includes a predefined
extract definition you can tailor to meet your needs. The Global Payroll Interface extract definition
works within the context of the country or territory. When creating your copy of the extract definition,

Effective Dates
In Oracle Fusion HCM, many objects are date-effective objects, which is an object with a change history.
Customers can retrieve objects as of a current, past, or future date. When searching for a date-effective object, you
enter an effective as-of date. The search returns the record with the effective date range that includes the specified
effective as-of date. Special care must be taken when adding, updating, or deleting records that are date-effective.

Calculation Cards
In Oracle Fusion HCM, there are many types of calculation cards. A calculation card is a type of record that is
maintained either on a PSU/TRU or employee level, that allows you to configure your records as needed. Types of
cards include:
Card Type Description

Organization Structures
Before an employer can hire a US worker or run any country-specific processes, the Implementation Team must set
up the organization structures required for the management of HR processes. You can perform all setup tasks
using the Functional Setup Manager (FSM).
The following sections describe these structures and how to define them:
» Enterprises
» Implementation Projects
» Product Extension Parameter
» Geographies
» Enterprise Structures
» Legal Addresses
» Legislative Data Groups
» Jurisdictions
» Legal Entities
» Legal Employers and Payroll Statutory Units
» Legal Entity
» Legal Reporting Units
» Contact Details
» Registrations
» HCM Information
» Calculation Cards
» Business Units
These structures, which typically contain country-specific information, must be defined before you can create
application users.
Enterprises
The Enterprise classification represents the top structure in the organization that supports partitioning requirements
for Oracle Fusion applications. Each employee you define exists within the context of an enterprise. If a person is
associated with two enterprises, that person must have two person records.
Since there is no concept of legislation at the enterprise level, no US-specific attributes are stored at this level. All
US-specific attributes are stored in subordinate structures, such as the legal entity.
This document does not describe enterprise setup, as this structure is defined at a higher level than HR and is used
across multiple Oracle Fusion product lines.
Implementation Projects
Setup tasks for organization structures must be defined in an implementation project. To create an implementation
project:
1. Sign in to the Oracle Fusion application using a role that has the profile of a super-user and privileges to
create all organizational structures.

2. Select Setup and Maintenance from the Navigator.
3. On the Implementation Projects tab, click Create.
4. On the Create Implementation Project page, provide a name and start date for your project.
5. Click Next.
6. Select Workforce Deployment.
7. For Payroll implementations, further select Payroll.
8. This parent project contains all the tasks needed to set up HCM organizational structures.
9. Click Save and Open Project.
Product Extension Parameter

Use the Manage Features by Country or Territory task to select the correct product for each of your legislations and
ensure that the appropriate features work correctly in your implementation. Refer to the “Selecting Country
Extensions: Critical Choices” application help topic in the Help Portal for information on how these settings impact
the functions of payroll related features.
Valid values for the selected extension parameter are:
» Human Resources or None (this is the default)

» Payroll
» Payroll Interface
Product Extension Management

To view and set the product extension:
1. Search for and start the Manage Features by Country or Territory task.
2. Ensure the Selected Extension value is correct for the United States legislation.
3. Make any necessary changes, and click Save.
4. Click Done.
Address Validation
For SaaS customers, address validation is included for all product extensions. For the Payroll and Payroll Interface
products, address validation is enforced automatically. You must run the Load Geographies process for all product
extensions using address validation. Run this process frequently, as geographies can be added at any time.
For On-Premise and On-Demand customers, address validation is included with the Payroll product only. For other
products, customers must acquire a Vertex license separately in order to get the functionality. If you are an On-
Premise or On-Demand customer with an HR-only product extension, and you want the same address restrictions
as provided by the Payroll product (one home address per employee), switch your product extension to Payroll
Interface.
If the product setting is set to one of the payroll values, an Employee Withholding Certificate tax card is automatically
created for an employee when their payroll relationship is created. An association to a tax reporting unit (TRU) is
also created automatically for the payroll product settings if the TRU was specified at time of hire.
After any upgrade, the Product Extension parameter is set to null, and the Implementation Team must reset it before
you can perform any transactional actions, such as running payroll, new hires, setting up elements, and so on.
Oracle strongly recommends you enable address validation for the HR product extension. Doing so makes it much
easier to transition to the Payroll or Payroll Interface products.

NOTE: If address validation has not been enabled then care must be taken when switching product
extensions, as any address that was previously defined may be missing required values, such as county and
tax district. There is also the possibility of invalid address combinations, such as mismatched city and ZIP
Code combinations.
An employee must have a valid address in order for them to receive their tax card and to ensure the accuracy of
their tax calculations. You must revalidate the address data prior to using any payroll features if you have:
» Switched the product setting from “Human Resources or None” to “Payroll”

» Not turned on and address validation was not turned on previously
Refer to the following document on Oracle Support for additional information:
Fusion Payroll: Types of License In Fusion Payroll (Doc ID 1611941.1)
Address Style Settings

Refer to the “Changing Address Style and Address Validation Settings: Critical Choices” online help topic in the Help
Portal.
Geographies
Geocodes are used for:
» Address validation
» Regional taxation
» Geography-based business processes
The US geography information is provided by Vertex or another third-party source.
Loading Geographies
This process is necessary to maintain geography data changes from Vertex in the Oracle Fusion HCM application.
This task is required for both HR-only (if using address validation) and Payroll implementations. Vertex publishes
monthly updated files that contain geography data changes (ORAMAST.txt file). For SaaS customers, Oracle
Product Services installs the files. Saas customers automatically receive a notification when the file is installed, and
they can click on the link in the notification to get the latest Vertex tax guide. The On-Demand team installs the files
for the customers when they are requested to do so by their customers. On-Premise customers install the file
themselves.
Once the files are installed, all customers (including SaaS) must run the processes to update their geography data.
You must run this process as part of the initial setup for the implementation project as well as upon a monthly basis.
To load US geographies:
1. Select Load Geographies for US in the implementation project checklist.
2. Enter the necessary details in the Parameters section.
3. Click Submit.
Verifying Geographies
To verify predefined geographies:
1. Select Manage Geographies in the implementation project checklist.

2. On the Manage Geographies page, select US and click Search. The predefined entry for United States
displays.
3. Click on the “Hierarchy Defined” checkmark on the United States line, or select Manage Geography Hierarchy
from the Actions menu. This displays the primary and alternate names for all US geographies. See section

“Configuring Geographies to Display a Two Character State” below if you want to only display the two letter
state abbreviation.
Select a state’s link to view its primary and alternate names and codes. When you load the state geographies,
they include both the 2-character state abbreviations and the full state names.
4. Click Done to return to your search results.
5. Select the green checkmark for each type of geography data you want to verify.
» Address Cleansing Defined
This feature is not used by HCM. Refer to “Defining Address Cleansing: Explained” in the Help Portal.
» Structure Defined
» Hierarchy Defined
» Validation Defined
6. If a locale is missing (such as a city or county), you can resolve this by:
» If no local taxes are associated with the missing locale, you can create a new entry in the geography table.
» If there is a local tax associated for the missing locale, you must ensure that you have the correct geocode
from Vertex, otherwise you must wait for a Vertex update to populate the missing locale. See “Manually
Adding a Geography” steps below.
Configuring State Display Properties

Follow these steps to display a two character state name in place of the full state name.

displays.
from the Actions menu.
4. Select a state’s link to view its primary and alternate names and codes. Ensure the proper name is marked as
primary by selecting Set Primary.
When you load the state geographies, they include both the 2-character state abbreviations and the full state
names.
5. If you do not want to see the full state name in the State list of values, and no existing address data has been
created using the full state name, delete the row with the full state name from the Primary and Alternate Names
table.
6. Click Save and Close.
Configuring City Display Properties

Follow these steps to display a different city name than what is delivered:

from the actions menu.
4. Expand the appropriate State and County fields to display the city to change.
5. Select the city, and select Edit from the Actions menu.
6. In the Primary and Alternative Names section, select Add from the Actions menu.
7. Enter the new city name. Leave the Data Provider field as “User entered”.

8. Select the Set Primary icon.
9. If the city resides in multiple counties, you must change the city name in each.
The name you define displays in all appropriate areas, including addresses, tax balances, and reports.
Running the Load Geography Information and Load Payroll Tax Information Processes
Once Oracle Products Services Team has installed the files, all customers (including SaaS) must run the following
processes to update their geography data and tax data:
» Load Geography Information

» Load Payroll Tax Information
Load Payroll Tax Information

The Load Payroll Tax Information for US process is necessary to maintain tax data changes from Vertex in the
Oracle Fusion HCM application. Vertex publishes monthly updates that contain tax data changes (QFPT.dat file).
For SaaS customers, Oracle Product Services installs the files. The On-Demand team installs the files for the
customers when they are requested to do so by their customers. On-Premise customers install the file themselves.
Once the files are installed, all customers (including SaaS) must run the Load Payroll Tax Information for US
process to update their tax data.
IMPORTANT: You must run this process as part of the initial setup for the implementation project. You must
also run it on a monthly basis in order to receive the latest changes affecting taxation and address validation
combinations.
You have two options for running this task:
» From FSM, select Define Payroll > Define Earning and Deduction Definitions
» From the Regulatory and Tax Reporting work area
When running this task, populate the parameters as follows:
Field Name Notes
Data Location Specify the location name for the file to be used only if it is different from the default location, as
defined in the ESS configuration file. This configuration file contains the location of the Vertex
ISAM libraries.
Allow Upload of Older Version Specify whether to allow an older version of the data file to be uploaded. Default setting is No.
Geographic Category Run for Federal and State each month. City, County and School District may be run less
frequently than monthly and may take more time to run. If running it monthly, schedule it to run
after hours.
Defining Address Style Format Mapping for United States

HR-only and Payroll implementations must update the Geography Mapping fields for the following formats:
» United States Postal Address Format

» United States Tax Address Format
NOTE: Do not use “No Style”.
HR-only implementations with no address validation must select the United States Postal Address Format. All other
implementations must use the United States Tax Address Format.

To set your geography validation:
1. Select Workforce Deployment > Define Common Applications Configuration for Human Capital Management >
Define Geographies for Human Capital Management > Manage Geographies.
2. In the Geography Mapping and Validation section, select or deselect the Enable List of Values checkbox as
appropriate for each geography type.
NOTE: Do not change the Tax Validation and Geography Validation predefined settings. Oracle Fusion
HCM applications do not use this functionality.
Viewing Geocodes for a Geography

A geocode is a 9-digit code used to identify the legal jurisdiction. The first two digits represent the state, the next
three digits represent the county, and the last four represent the city. Leading zeroes are not included. This data is
created as part of the Load Geographies process. To view the geocode for a particular geography, follow these
steps:
1. Start the Manage Geographies task in FSM.

2. Perform a search with United States as the country name.
3. Select United States in the search results.
4. Select Manage Geography Hierarchy from the Actions menu.
5. Double-click the appropriate geography name to see the tax geography code.
Manually Adding a Geography

In the rare cases where a geography is missing, you can manually add it. However, before doing so, run the Load
Geography for US process to ensure it hasn’t already been addressed by a Vertex update.
The following example shows how to add the city of Waelder in Bastrop county, Texas to your geography
information. You can use similar steps to add other geographies, such as a county or ZIP Code.
1. Start the Manage Geographies task in FSM.

3. Highlight the United States line in the search results.
4. Select Manage Geography Hierarchy from the Actions menu.
5. Expand the Texas state node to view the list of counties.
6. Expand the Bastrop county node to view the list of cities.
7. Verify that Waelder is not included in the list.
8. Select the Bastrop county row in the hierarchy, and click Create. The Create City page displays.
9. In the Primary and Alternative Names section, click Add, or enter the data on the blank line.
10. Specify values for the following fields:
Field Name Notes
Name Enter Waelder as the city name.
Data Provider Leave the default setting.
Language Leave the default setting.
11. Click Save.

12. In the Primary and Alternative Codes section, click Add or enter the data on the blank line.

Field Name Notes
Code Enter geocode 44-21-6195.

NOTE: The geocode you provide must be unique within the county
and state.
Code Type Select “Tax geography code”.
14. In the Primary and Alternative Codes section, click Add.

Field Name Notes
Code Enter Waelder.
Code Type Select Primary City.

17. Select the Waelder city row in the hierarchy, and click Create. The Create Postal Code page displays.
18. In the Primary and Alternative Names section, click Add, or enter the data on the blank line.
Field Name Notes
Name 78959
20. Click Save.

21. In the Primary and Alternative Codes section, click Add or enter the data on the blank line.
Field Name Notes
Code 78959
Code Type Select “FIPS Code”.
23. If needed, continue adding more ZIP Codes.

24. Save and close when complete.
Changing the Address Field Display and Display Sequence

To simplify data entry for addresses, you can:
» Control what address fields are visible.

» Change the field sequence so users enter the ZIP Code before the city, state, and county. This enables the
application to derive subordinate values, such as city and state, based on the ZIP Code.

Adding or Removing Address Fields
To set what address fields are visible:
1. Sign in as a Setup user, and navigate to Setup and Maintenance.

2. Enter Define Address Configuration in the Search field, and select Define Address Configuration.
3. Select the Manage Address Formats task.
6. Select the proper address format to modify in the search results, and click Edit.
7. Depending on if you are adding or removing from the display, do the following:
» If adding fields, click Action, then Add. Specify the following:
Field Name Description
Line Sequence of where you want to display the field.
Position Position on the line for that field.
Prompt Name of the field.
Address Element Type of field.
Also mark whether the field is required, and whether it displays in upper case
» If deleting fields:
a. Select the line you want to remove.
b. Click Action and then Delete.
8. Click Preview Layout to review your changes.
NOTE: If you are a Payroll or Payroll Interface customer, or a HR-only customer using address validation, you
may need to enable the Tax District field for display. The Tax District field identifies townships and other
special taxing districts and is listed under the Address Element field as “Additional address attribute 4” When
you enter the ZIP Code for an address, and Vertex populates the city, state, and county (or you select them),
you can select the appropriate Tax District from the list of values. For example: Rosewood, OH, 43070 would
belong to the Adams Township.
Changing the Display Sequence
To change the display sequence:
1. Sign in as a Setup user, and navigate to Setup and Maintenance.

2. Enter Define Address Configuration in the Search field, and select Define Address Configuration.
3. Select the Manage Address Formats task.
6. Select the proper address format to modify in the search results, and click Edit.
7. Starting at the bottom with the country field, update the line number to be one greater than the current line
number.
For example: Assign Country to line 8, County to line 7, and so on.
8. Click Save after each line number update.
9. Update each line up to ZIP Code. Retain ZIP Code on line 4.

10. Change the position to 1, and click Save.
11. Click Preview Layout to review your changes.
Enterprise Structures
You can now begin the process of defining enterprise structures. All setup tasks are located in the implementation
project task list under Workforce Deployment > Define Common Applications Configuration for Human Capital
Management > Define Enterprise Structures for Human Capital Management:
Legal Addresses
A legal address is the address of record for an entity. For example, the legal address of a legal authority is used in
communications with that authority. No legal addresses are predefined for the US. You must create legal
addresses for all organizational units of the enterprise.
To define legal addresses:
1. Select Manage Legal Addresses in the implementation project task list.

2. On the Manage Legal Addresses page, click Create.
3. Define your addresses as needed.
Legislative Data Groups

An LDG defines the payroll and related data partition context for a user, allowing customers to partition their payroll
data.
To define an LDG:
1. Select Manage Legislative Data Groups in the implementation project task list.
2. On the Manage Legislative Data Groups page, click Create.
3. On the Create Legislative Data Group page, provide the required information and click Submit.
Jurisdictions
All legal entities must be registered against a jurisdiction that is governed by a legal authority. A jurisdiction is a
combination of the legislative category (labor law, transaction tax law, income tax laws, and so on) and the physical
territory (such as group of countries, country, state, county, and parish) to which legal rules are grounded. A tax
jurisdiction is a geographic area where a tax is levied by a specific tax authority. Jurisdictions must be set up before
creating registrations because a jurisdiction is required in the registration process. The identifying jurisdiction is
usually the first jurisdiction that the legal entity must register with, in order to be recognized in its territory. The
registration to the identifying jurisdiction of the legal entity territory is called the identifying registration. The
jurisdiction can also capture the registration code or the name of the registration number. The registration code can
then be used as the prompt for the registration number given the context of the jurisdiction. The jurisdiction has a
start date and end date to show when the jurisdiction is effective and when you can register against the jurisdiction.
The Create Legal Jurisdiction page contains the following regions:

» General Information: Displays the legislative category and allows the user to select the territory, enter the
name, the start and end date (if any end date), and to specify whether the jurisdiction is identifying or not.
» Registration Code Assignment: For a given jurisdiction, includes fields that allow the user to select a specific
registration code to display when creating legal entities and legal reporting units (LRUs).
» Legal Functions: Includes fields that allow the user to relate specific legal functions for a given jurisdiction,
such as payment, reporting, and so on. This is optional.

The US localization provides the following predefined legal jurisdictions, which are a combination of the territory and
legislative category:
Jurisdiction Legislative Category Territory Description
United States FEDERAL_TAX United States Used for federal income tax, federal
Federal Tax unemployment tax, Social Security, and Medicare.
<Territory> Income Tax State Used for all states with an income tax. One legal
Income Tax jurisdiction for each state with an income tax is
created.
<Territory> Unemployment Insurance Tax State Used for all states with an unemployment
Unemployment insurance tax. One legal jurisdiction for each
Insurance state with an unemployment tax is created.
<Territory> Disability Insurance Tax State Used for all states with a disability insurance tax.
Disability One legal jurisdiction for each state with a
Insurance disability tax is created.
Viewing Jurisdictions
To view these predefined jurisdictions:
1. Navigate to Setup and Maintenance.
2. Select Go to Task for the Manage Legal Jurisdictions task in the implementation project task list.
3. On the Manage Legal Jurisdictions page, select United States in the Territory field, and click Search.
4. Select the name of the jurisdiction in the Search Results to display the Edit Legal Jurisdictions page.
NOTE: The US localization does not provide any predefined jurisdictions for local taxes. You must first create the
local jurisdiction and then create the local tax registration, using the local tax legislative category and local
jurisdiction. Local tax registrations are not currently used for any tax filing reports or processes. However, you can
chose to create them if desired.
When you create new local jurisdictions, there may be cases where the territory name appears multiple times in the
list of values. To help identify the correct entry, use the Advanced button and select Add Fields. Use the first
Name field to enter the country (United States), and use the second Name field to enter the state code (such as CA,
AL, or GA), and use the third Name field to enter the county name. Entries into these fields help narrow the list of
entries.
Creating Jurisdictions for Local Taxes

You may need to create a local tax jurisdiction if you are withholding for specific local taxes, such as cities and
counties. You must create this jurisdiction before you can create a registration for that local. To create local tax
jurisdictions:
1. Navigate to Setup and Maintenance.

2. Select Go to Task for the Manage Legal Jurisdictions task in the implementation project task list.
3. Click Create.
4. On the Create Legal Jurisdiction page, enter a name.
5. Select a territory, such as United States.
6. Select the Local Tax legislative category.
7. Select No in Identifying.
8. Select Legal Entity Registration Number in the Legal Entity Registration Code field.
9. Select Legal Reporting Unit Registration Number in the Legal Reporting Unit Registration Code field.

Legal Entities
A legal entity is an entity unequivocally identified and given rights and responsibilities under commercial law, through
registration with the territory’s appropriate authority. Legal entities have the responsibility to account for themselves
(through balance sheets, income statements, specified reports, and so on) to company regulators, taxation
authorities, and owners according to rules specified in the relevant legislation.
Legal Employers and Payroll Statutory Units

Oracle Fusion HCM recognizes different types of legal entities:
» A legal employer is a legal entity that employs workers.

» A payroll statutory unit (PSU) is a legal entity that is responsible for paying workers, including the payment of
payroll tax and social insurance. A PSU can pay and report on payroll tax and social insurance on behalf of one
or many legal entities, depending on the structure of your enterprise.
PSUs provide a way to group legal employers so that certain statutory calculations, such as court orders and some
taxes, can be performed at a higher level. A legal employer can belong to only one PSU, and the PSU represents
the highest level of aggregation for a person. No balances are aggregated across PSUs.
When defining a legal entity, you must consider the context in which it is to be used:
» If it is to be used in an HCM context, designate it as a legal employer. In an HCM implementation, it is

mandatory to define legal employers.
» If it is to be used in a payroll context, designate it as a PSU.
» You can define a legal entity that is both a legal employer and a PSU.
» If multiple legal employers need to be grouped together for tax reporting purposes, you can associate them all
with a single PSU. If legal employers do not report together, they must be segregated by PSU.
No legal entities are predefined for the US. You must create all legal entities that apply to the enterprise you are
setting up.
Recognizing Balances Across Multiple TRUs

You must configure your organization to recognize balances across multiple TRUs if:
» There are federal limits that must be observed across TRUs, such as Social Security wage limits
» You have employees that work in multiple TRUs and you regularly have to use person-level balances
To configure your organization to recognize balances across multiple TRUs, you must:
1. Identify each company as a separate TRU.
2. Assign each TRU within the same PSU.
A payroll relationship is the association between a person and a PSU. It represents the highest level of balance
aggregation. Employees working in multiple TRUs under the same PSU would have one payroll relationship.
Person-level balances that span multiple TRUs can be accessed by the payroll processes. However, when an
employee is in multiple PSUs, they have multiple payroll relationships. The person level balances won’t span
across the different PSU payroll relationships.
NOTE: If you must have multiple PSUs and still need to access person-level balances across these PSUs, you
can import previous PSU balances to the new PSU. For further information, see Oracle Fusion Human Capital
Management for United States: Balance Adjustments (1600728.1) on My Oracle Support.
Legal Reporting Units and Tax Reporting Units

An LRU is the lowest level component of a legal structure that requires registrations. It is used to group workers for
the purpose of tax reporting or to represent a part of your enterprise with a specific statutory or tax reporting
obligation.

If an LRU is to be used for tax reporting purposes, then it must be configured as a TRU. When you create an LRU
that belongs to a legal employer (that is not also a PSU), you must select a parent PSU. In this way, TRUs are
indirectly associated with a legal employer by association with a PSU.
TRUs are especially relevant for the US because the TRU captures the employer’s:
» US federal employer identification number (FEIN)

» State employer identification number (EIN)
» Registration details
This captures the FEIN, not the TRU itself.
» Statutory registered name

If there are multiple TRUs under one PSU, the amounts calculated towards maximum wage and tax limits are
recognized across all TRUs within that PSU.
Organization Structure Models Supported by the US Localization

The sections that follow describe how to define a set of organizational units that comprise the organization structure
required to manage HR processes for the US. Each enterprise can combine these organizational units in a different
way in order to set up the organizational model that best fits their business needs. Before you begin creating
organizational units, it is helpful to understand the organization structure models supported by the US localization.
The figure below illustrates the four configurations supported by Oracle Fusion HCM for the US:

» Enterprise 1: One PSU with one legal employer and one TRU
» Enterprise 2: One PSU with one legal employer and multiple TRUs
» Enterprise 3: One PSU with multiple legal employers and multiple TRUs, where each legal employer is
associated with a single TRU
» Enterprise 4: One PSU with multiple legal employers, where different employers are associated with different
TRUs
NOTE: An enterprise can have multiple PSUs belonging to the same or different LDGs. It is possible for a legal
entity to be both a PSU and a legal employer.
Creating Legal Entities

Before you define any legal entities, you must have already defined any associated legal addresses through the
Manage Legal Addresses task.
To define legal entities:
1. Select Manage Legal Entities in the implementation project task list.

2. Click Create to display the Create Legal Entity page.
3. If you are identifying this legal entity as a PSU:

» If you have not yet defined your US LDG, the application automatically creates the LDG for you and
associates it with the PSU.
» If you have already defined a US LDG, you must manually associate it with the PSU. Refer to identifying
the LDG below for instructions.
4. If you do not designate this legal entity as a PSU, you can assign an existing PSU to it by selecting one from
the Payroll Statutory Unit field.
5. Provide any other required information.
Identifying the LDG

To view the LDG associated with a PSU:
1. Select the implementation project.

2. Select Manage Legal Entity HCM Information.
3. Search for the PSU or legal entity.
4. Select the PSU tab. By default, general information for the PSU is displayed, including the LDG. If it has not
automatically been associated, you can click on the drop-down to find the appropriate LDG to associate.

Business Units
Oracle Fusion HCM for the US uses the business unit classification to group sets of data. When you associate a
business unit with a default set, the default set is inherited by every entity connected to the business unit.
No US-specific data is required or captured at this level. However, a worker must be assigned a business unit
during the hire process, so you must create business units for the enterprise.
US Territory Configuration
The configuration to support the processing and paying of employees working and/or living in the territory of Puerto
Rico and Guam is largely the same as with state configurations, with differences in the following areas:
» Legal addresses
» Legal reporting units
» Tax reporting units
» Employee Withholding Certificate for Guam
» Deduction Elements for Puerto Rico
Legal Addresses
Users must identify United States as the country when configuring the territorial legal addresses through the
Manage Legal Address task.
Legal Reporting Units

Users must select United States as the territory when defining the legal reporting units in FSM. This is needed in
order to enter the FEIN using United States Federal Tax jurisdiction.
NOTE: The jurisdictions required for the state-level registrations are available for Puerto Rico and Guam.
You must also create separate legal reporting units for Puerto Rican and Guam workers. Do not assign US, Puerto
Rican, and Guam workers to the same TRUs. Each must be in their own TRU.
Tax Reporting Units

To identify that the TRU belongs to a territory, an EFF at the federal level must be populated to designate what
territory it is associated to. The field is located under the Federal rules for Organization Information EFF. Start the
Manage Legal Reporting Unit HCM Information task, and click Federal. The segment is Territory Rules and the field
is Territory Identifier.
NOTE: Leave this field blank for TRUs not associated with US territories.
Employee Withholding Certificate for Guam

Guam tax calculations are based on the federal withholding tables. To ensure proper withholding based on the
employee’s W-4 form elections, you must update the tax cards for your Guam employees:
1. From the Payroll Calculations work area, search for the employee.
2. Start the Manage Calculation Cards task, and select their Employee Withholding Certificate.
3. Select the Federal tax component.
4. Enter any W-4 employee tax withholding updates, such as changes to marital status, number of allowances,
and so on.
The tax withholdings for Guam will show on reports and interfaces with a code of GUSIT.

Deduction Elements for Puerto Rico
You must identify the deduction elements you are using to feed specific Puerto Rico W2 balances.
To ensure you are reporting complete data to your third-party tax filing provider, you must establish feeds for any
balance required for year-end reporting, such as W-2PR boxes 12, 15, and 23.
You must:
1. Use the Manage Balance Definitions task to establish balance feeds for all W-2PR balances applicable to your
business. Every W-2PR box has one or more balances that must be fed.
Form W-2PR box balances that begin with "W2" are not automatically fed. You must create the feeds using the
appropriate user-defined elements you have defined.
For a complete list of W-2PR boxes and the associated balances you must feed, see the Form W-2PR Box
Information topic in the Help Portal.
2. You must identify your user-defined deductions as belonging to Puerto Rico. This involves the configuration of
the following balances and the results elements that feed them:
» W2 Territory 401k
» W2 Territory Charitable Contributions
» W2 Territory Government Employee Savings Plan
» W2 Territory Government Retirement Fund
To do this:
a. Use the Manage Elements task to edit the results elements of the user-defined deductions that feed these
balances.
b. In the Element Summary page, create an input value with the following values:
Field Value
Name State
NOTE: You must define State, County and City with display
sequences of 1, 2, and 3 respectively.
Displayed Selected
Allow User Entry Selected
Create a Database Item Selected
Unit of Measure Integer
Display Sequence 1
c. In the Default Entry Values and Validation region, set the Reference field to State.
d. In the Default Value region, set the following:
Field Value
Default PR
Apply Default at Run Time No
e. Click Save.
f. Use the Manage Fast Formula task to modify the element's formula, such as "401k_Calculator_Formula"
for Puerto Rico 401 (k).
g. Insert the following lines at the beginning of the formula:

state=72
dedn_amt=0
mesg='Calculation complete.'
This ensures the element output is correctly configured for Puerto Rico.
Puerto Rico Young Entrepreneurs Act

For all employees meeting the age criteria, the payroll process automatically applies the Puerto Rico Young
Entrepreneurs Act. It accumulates the exempt wages in the PR Youth Exempt Wages balance. Once the limit is
reached, the payroll process begins accumulations and deductions for the state income tax balances.
Workforce Structures
Workforce structure setup should be performed once you have completed organization structure setup. Workforce
structures are used to:
» Define additional partitioning of the workers within the organization, including divisions, departments, locations
and reporting establishments
» Assign roles to workers within the organization, including grades, jobs, and positions
» Set up actions and reasons that apply to the work relationship cycle of workers
No workforce structures are predefined for the US. The Implementation Team is responsible for defining all the
workforce structures that apply to the enterprise for which the setup is being done. Some workforce structures may
not apply to every enterprise.
Managing Workforce Structures

Maintenance of workforce structures can be performed through FSM.
Use this work area to manage:
» Positions
» Jobs
» Grades
» Departments
» Locations
Locations
Locations identify:
» Where business is conducted, including the physical location of a workforce structure

» Workers’ physical work locations
» Other areas of interest to the business
To create or manage locations:
1. Select Manage Locations in the implementation project task list.

2. Click Create.
3. Under Basic Details, define the effective start date.
4. When editing the location record, use the Correct option to make the changes effective to the start of the
existing record. Otherwise use the Update option.

required for New Mexico, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Iowa, and Michigan.
12. For locations in Pennsylvania, in the Pennsylvania Work Location PSD Information section, specify the Political
Sub Division code (PSD) for the work location. This value defaults in the Work PSD Code field on the
Residency Certificate of every employee assigned to that location.
13. Do not specify a value in the Non-Resident EIT Rate for Pennsylvania Work Location field. This field is not used
for tax calculation.
14. In the United States EEO and Veteran Reporting Information section, identify the HR Reporting locations.
A location is identified as a reporting location when the HR Reporting Location field is set to Yes.
For Example, an employer may have multiple physical locations that are in close proximity to each other and
are therefore reported under a single HR Reporting Location. To represent this, use the following configuration:
Field Name Value
HR Reporting Location No
HR Reporting Proxy Select reporting location
15. Click Submit.

NOTE: When you change a location’s address, the HR Sync process does not apply that change to any employees
already assigned to the location. You must make the applicable updates to the employees’ records manually.
Departments
A department is a division of a business enterprise dealing with a particular area or activity to which you can assign
workers.
No data is required or captured at this level for the US, but Implementation Teams can create a department
structure for an enterprise in the organizational structure setup phase of the project.
To create departments:
1. Select Manage Departments in the implementation project task list.

2. Click Create.
3. Define the information required for this department.
4. Click Next to provide additional department details.
5. Click Next.
6. Review your data, and click Submit.

classify the job categories, select the job group to which this job belongs.
6. Click Submit.
Banking Setup
An HR-only customer may want to add payee banking information even if payroll is not being processed by Oracle
Fusion HCM Global Payroll. For example, banking setup may be required for reporting purposes or because the
data may be passed to other products, such as an expenses module.
To accommodate this scenario, the set up of banks and branches must be done before entering bank accounts and
payment methods for the payee. Additionally you must perform some payroll set up for HR-only implementations.
For further information, see “Payroll Configuration” below.
No banks or branches are predefined for the US. Banks and branches must be defined during implementation. You
can do this manually by entering the banks and branches in the application, or it can be done in a mass upload
process.
Configuring Employee Options for Bank Details

Employees can enter their bank details using the Manage Personal Payment Methods task through their employee
self-service. Use the CE_USE_EXISTING_BANK_BRANCH profile option to define what settings are available to
them.
To define the fields the employees can use to configure their bank details:
1. Start the Manage Cash Management Profile Options task.
2. Search for the CE_USE_EXISTING_BANK_BRANCH profile option.
3. In the search results, select the profile option.
4. In the Profile Values region, select the Site profile level.

5. Set the profile value:
Profile Value Description
Yes Employees select their banks and branches from a predefined list.
You must have previously defined this list through either the Create Bank
and Create Bank Branch tasks or the mass upload process (see next
sections).
No Employees can set their bank and branch details through free text fields.
Defining Banks
To define banks:
1. Sign in to the application with a role that has cash manager privileges, such as CASH_MANAGER.
2. Select Manage Banks in the implementation project task list.
3. Click Create.
4. On the Create Bank page, provide the necessary information.
Defining Bank Branches

To define branches for the banks you created:
1. Select Manage Bank Branches in the implementation project task list.

2. Click Create.
3. On the Create Bank Branch page, provide the necessary information.
Defining Bank Accounts

Once banks and branches are set up, you must define the bank accounts that are needed for the organization.
Normally, Implementation Teams set up bank accounts that are used at an organizational level, such as the source
bank accounts for payments, rather than bank accounts at the individual payee level.
No bank accounts are predefined for the US.
To define bank accounts:

1. Select Manage Bank Accounts in the implementation project task list.
2. Click Create.
3. On the Create Bank Branch page, provide the required information.
4. If you want to use this bank account for processing payments related to payroll, select the Payroll option in the
Account Use field.
Defining Organization Payment Methods

After setting up the banks, bank branches, and bank accounts, you must define the payment methods used within
the organization. Organization payment methods (OPMs) link the personal payment methods (PPMs) with the
payment sources without a need to store as many details about the payment method on the person record.

When you create a payroll, you must define the valid OPMs for that payroll. All employees included in the payroll
run will use the selected OPMs, unless specifically overridden.
To define OPMs:
1. Select Manage Organization Payment Methods in Payment Distribution work area.
2. Click Create.
3. Select the LDG associated with this payment method.
4. On the Create Organization Payment Method page, enter the required information:
Name Enter the name of this OPM.
Payment Type Select the payment type for this OPM.

You must create a separate OPM for domestic and international
payments.
Use the Direct Deposit payment type for domestic direct deposits and the
International Transfer payment type for international payments.
Two EFT templates are available:
 PPD for US Payments
 IAT for international payments
NOTE: Prior to Release 12, the Direct Deposit payment type is called
NACHA.
Currency Select US Dollar.
Prenotification required Prenotification is the process of submitting a 0 USD transaction in order to

verify an electronic transfer’s routing numbers and account number
information. Use this field to indicate whether a prenotification process is
required for direct deposit payment types.
5. If you have selected Direct Deposit or International Transfer as the payment type, in the Electronic Funds
Transfer File Information section, enter the appropriate values:
Field Label EFT Name Comments
Balancing Entries Balanced Electronic File Determines whether the system generates a balanced or
unbalanced electronic payments file. An unbalanced
electronic payments file does not have an offsetting debit
record and therefore allows cases where the total debits of the
file are not equal to the total credits. Some banks require
unbalanced files.
Bank Reference Immediate Destination Identification Identifies the immediate destination bank routing and transit
number.
Bank Name Immediate Destination Name Name of the Financial Institution.
Company Reference Type Immediate Origin Identification Type Optional.
Company Reference Immediate Origin Identification Numeric code assigned to the employer by an external
authority, such as their IRS tax ID or D-U-N-S number.
Company Name Immediate Originator Name Identifies the company name of the originator.
Payment sources associate bank accounts and other sources of funds with the OPMs. Each organization
payment method in use must have at least one valid payment source.
6. In the Payment Sources Section, click Create.

7. On the Create Payment Source page, enter a Name and select a Bank Account Name.

The system uses the payment information set at the payment source level for Direct Deposit employee direct
deposit.
8. Enter required information, and click Submit.
Configuring Prenotes
Prenotes are Automated Clearing House (ACH) prenotifications. They are 0 USD ACH entries that you send at
least 10 banking days prior to the first live payroll credit sent. Under NACHA operating rules (also known as ACH
rules), the prenote validates the routing number and account number of the receiving bank or credit union.
Specify the following prenotification rules on OPMs of the Direct Deposit payment type:
Prenotification Required Designates whether the prenotification process is required for employees.
Prenotification Amount Default value for this field is 0.
Prenotification Days Number of days required for a prenotification wait period. The employee is paid
by check until the waiting period is completed. For example, if the prenote wait
period is 10 days and running a weekly payroll, depending on the timing
employees might receive two paychecks before direct deposit starts.
If a prenote is required for the OPM, the system sends a prenote entry with 0 USD in the direct deposit file (PPD) for
all new hires. For an employee’s checking account, the prenotification transaction contains the transaction code of
23 in the entry detail record. For the employee’s saving account, the prenotification transaction contains the
transaction code of 33.
NOTE: Prior to Release 13, prenotifications are available for new hires only. You cannot issue prenotes for
changes made to accounts for existing employees. For Release 13, you can create prenotes for existing
employees by assigning them a personal payment method with new banking information.
Payroll Configuration
Consolidation groups and payroll definitions are normally concepts related to payroll, but if an HR-only customer
needs to assign banking details for their employees, then these objects must be set up.
Consolidation Groups
Oracle Fusion HCM for the US uses consolidation groups within the organization to enable grouping of different
payrolls for reporting purposes. No consolidation groups are predefined for the US. If you are creating payroll
definitions for the implementation, you must define at least one consolidation group. Payroll definitions must be
assigned to a consolidation group.
To set up consolidation groups:
1. Sign in to the application with a role that has implementation privileges, such as APPL_IMP_CONSULTANT.
2. Select Manage Consolidation Groups in the implementation project task list.
3. On the Manage Consolidation Groups page, click Add Row.
4. Enter a name, and select a US LDG.
The Description is optional but useful to provide.
5. Click Save.

Payroll Definitions
Payroll definitions contain calendar and offset information that determine when payments are calculated and costed.
Using payroll definitions, you can specify payment frequency, processing schedule, and other parameters for a
particular payroll. Payroll period types, such as weekly, bi-weekly, or semi-monthly, determine the interval at which
you pay employees.
A payroll definition is associated with only one payroll period type, and implementers must set up at least one payroll
definition for each payroll period type the employer wants to use to pay employees.
When you create a payroll definition, the complete payroll schedule is automatically generated, based on:
» Selected payroll period type

» Any offsets and calendar adjustments
» Number of years
Once you have created a payroll definition, use the Manage Payroll Relationships page to assign employees to it.
NOTE: Before creating a payroll definition, you must have defined the LDG and at least one consolidation
group.
No payroll definitions are predefined for the US.
To set up payroll definitions:
1. Select Manage Payroll Definitions in the implementation project task list.

2. Click Create.
3. Select the LDG for this payroll definition, and click Continue.
4. On the Create Payroll page, enter the required information.
5. Select a consolidation group.
6. Select the Premium Calculation rate for overtime calculation.
7. Select a time definition.
8. This is used to define the starting date and length of the overtime period used in the calculation of overtime.
9. Click Add Row in the Valid Payment Methods section, and add one or more OPMs that are valid for this
payroll.
10. You can select any OPM defined for the LDG that is linked to this payroll definition.
11. The default payment method is check.
12. Click Next.
13. Provide the required information on the Payroll Offsets page.
14. Review the information on the Payroll Calendar page.
15. Provide the suspense and default accounts on the Costing of Payroll page.
16. Review summary information on the Payroll Review page.
17. Click Submit.
NOTE: The US does not use the following fields in the Calculation Defaults section:
» Use Information Hours From

» Threshold Basis

Elements and Element Templates
You create elements through predefined element templates, which provide you with an intuitive user interface and
help you manage the creation of different types of elements and their associated objects. The element definition
process gets a set of rules from the template and processes the predefined template structure to create appropriate
data.
A set of element templates is predefined for the US. Access these templates through the Manage Elements task.
To create a regular earnings element for basic salary:

1. Select Manage Elements in the Setup and Maintenance or Payroll Calculations work area.
2. On the Manage Elements page, click Create.
3. On the Create Element window, select an LDG, a primary element classification, and if necessary, a secondary
classification.
4. Beginning in Release 13 (Update 17C), specify the category for eligible primary and secondary classification
combinations. Select Time Card to identify your element as being available for time cards.
NOTE: Primary classifications have a priority range. When you define an element, you can override the
default processing priority with another number from the range. This is useful if you need to establish the order
in which the element processes with respect to other elements in the primary classification range.
Select the appropriate secondary classification. This secondary classification is used when updating or
creating wage basis rules or wage attachment rules.
5. Click Continue.
6. Complete the fields on the Basic Information page.
NOTE: When creating an overtime earnings element, do not use the name “Overtime” for any element
name or reporting name. "Overtime” is a reserved term, and including it in user-defined elements interferes
with balance initializations.
The questions and default answers are based on settings for the predefined classifications for the US. Your
answers drive the definition of the element you are creating.
The following table describes the default behaviors for federal taxation using default settings:
Earnings Payment Types Regular Payroll Run Taxation Supplemental Payroll Run Taxation
Standard Annualized N/A
Supplemental: Process and pay with other earnings Annualized / Aggregation Tiered Flat Rate
Supplemental: Process separately but pay with other Tiered Flat Rate Tiered Flat Rate

Standard and Supplemental: Process separately but Annualized (Standard Earnings) + Tiered Flat Rate
pay with other earnings Tiered Flat Rate (Supplemental (n/a for Standard Earnings)
Earnings) Combined
Standard and Supplemental: Process separately and Annualized (Standard Earnings) + Tiered Flat Rate
pay separately Tiered Flat Rate (Supplemental (n/a for Standard Earnings)
Earnings) for two separate pays

The state taxation varies by state. In cases where the regular payroll run processes a Supplemental earnings,
it:
a. Attempts to use the aggregation calculation method.
b. If aggregation is not one of the acceptable calculation methods for the state:
» If the state is Georgia, it uses the tiered flat rate tax method.
» If the state is Ohio, it uses the aggregation tax method.
» For all other states, it uses the Vertex default method.
For additional information, see the Vertex Calculation Guide.
7. Click Next.
8. For Periodicity Conversion Rule, use the following chart:
Rate Conversion Rule Description Example
Standard Rate Annualized Calculates the annual rate using the input To convert a weekly amount to a semimonthly
periodicity, and converts the amount to an output periodicity, the formula:
periodicity and rate. 1. Multiplies the weekly amount by 52.

checks the work schedule details for the month.
For a daily conversion:
1000 a month/20 days in the month = 50
NOTE: For compensation calculations where
the employee is not assigned a payroll, the
rate is calculated using the weekly rate
calculation. The amount is converted to an
annual figure and divided by the number of
days or hours in that week based on the work
schedule.
9. Complete the rest of the questionnaire.

10. Click Next.
11. Verify the information, and click Submit to create the new element.
The Element Summary page provides additional information, such as input values, processing rules, and
eligibility.

12. Use the Element Overview panel to navigate through the summary page options.
13. Set element eligibility by selecting Actions > Create Element Eligibility in the Element Overview panel.
Refer to Element Eligibility section for more information.
14. Select an input value in the left panel, and provide additional information such as default values, validation
formulas, and required flag.
15. Click Submit and Done.
16. Repeat this process to create a set of elements to support your business needs.
Indirect Elements
During the creation of your elements, depending on the options you selected, the element template may
automatically create related indirect elements. These are also referred to as shadow elements. Indirect elements
include:
» Results elements
» Retroactive elements
Results Elements
The element template may create results elements when you define elements of the following primary
classifications:
» Standard Earnings
» Supplemental Earnings
» Imputed Earnings
» Nonpayroll Payment
» Pretax Deductions
» Employee Tax Deductions
» Employer Liabilities
» Involuntary Deductions
» Voluntary Deductions
Results elements use the following naming convention: <User Element> Results.
These indirect elements are nonrecurring.
The payroll calculation feeds values to these elements taking into consideration frequency rules and formulas such
as skip formulas, proration formulas, and so on.
Retroactive Elements
Retroactive elements are automatically created when you select Yes to the question: Is this element subject to
retroactive changes? The element template creates these elements nonrecurring with the same attribution of the
base element with a couple of exceptions. If you selected Process Separately or Pay Separately, the template
creates input values on the retroactive element; however, the input value default is set to N on the retroactive
element. You can override this value at the element level, element entry level, or element eligibility level if desired.
Retroactive elements use the following naming convention: <User Element> Retro.
The element template may create retroactive elements for the following primary classifications:
» Standard Earnings
» Supplemental Earnings

» Imputed Earnings
» Nonpayroll Payment
» Pretax Deductions (excluding deferred compensation)
» Employer Liabilities (excluding deferred compensation)
» Voluntary Deduction
Element Eligibility
Element eligibility is the method of determining which employees are eligible for an element. If you want an element
to be available for an employee, you must setup eligibility.
During element definition, when you select Create Element Eligibility in the Element Overview panel, the following
tabs are available in the General Information area:
Tab Description
General Information In this area you define the criteria of employees that are eligible for this element:
 If you want to have all employees eligible for this element, add the eligibility
record with no criteria.
 If you want only certain employees to be eligible for this element, add the
eligibility record with your specific criteria.
The different available criteria in this area are:
 Legal Employer
 Department
 Job
 Grade
 Employment Category
 Location
 Position
 Payroll
Input Values Input values can be:

 The same default value for each set of eligibility criteria
 Changed to different default values for each set of eligibility criteria you
create.
If the default values are the same, you do not need to enter anything in this area.
Costing Costing is the financial accounting of your payroll costs. It breaks down the costs
of a payroll into customer-defined units (such as a location, division, or project).
Costing of payments is a separate post-payments process. For customers not
using Oracle Fusion General Ledger, you can disable the Transfer to Subledger
Accounting task by copying the US Simplified Flow and creating your own flow
and removing the task.
Refer to the Oracle Fusion Global Human Resources Implementing Payroll
Costing document and online help for assistance with defining your costing
structure. Refer to “Oracle Fusion Global Payroll: Setup of Information Elements
for Payroll Relationship Level Costing” (Doc ID 2172879.1) on the Oracle Support
website for assistance on creating cost allocation on element eligibility using
attributes other than Payroll Statutory Unit and Relationship Type.
Costing values can be different values for different eligibilities as well.
If transferring your payroll data to General Ledger, you should setup costing for
the Results and Retro elements.

Base, Results, and Retroactive Elements
You must define element eligibility for the following elements. Set up costing for them as well if required.
As a guideline, when the element template creates a base, results and retro element, you must:
» Set up element eligibility records for the base, results, and retroactive elements.
The base, results, and retroactive element eligibility records can serve different purposes. For example, you
might create two records for the base element to limit who is eligible, and one open record for the results, if you
cost the element results for your eligible employees the same way.
» Specify costing information for the results and retroactive element eligibility records.
NOTE: In order to capture costing information for your retroactive payments, you must either:
» Set up costing for your retroactive elements through element eligibility.

» Determine at which hierarchy level you must configure costing in order to capture costing information for your
retroactive payments. For further information, see Global Human Resources Costing Guide (1918574.1) on My
Oracle Support.

Multiple Eligibility Records for an Element

You can define more than one eligibility record for each element, but there cannot be any overlap between them.
Doing so is useful when you want only certain groups of employees to be available for an element, but not all
employees.
Eligibility Definition Worked Example

The following example illustrates the different ways you can use eligibility definition to configure your element
behavior.
In this case, you are defining an “on-call hours” element:
1. Complete the element template, and navigate to the Element Summary page.
2. To make this element available to only your employees with a job title of Security Specialist or Security
Manager, you set up two eligibility records on the General Information tab:
» One indicating this element is available for employees with a job title of Security Specialist
» Another indicating this element is available for employees with a job title of Security Manager
3. To assign different rate calculations to your Security Specialists and Security Managers:
a. Select the Input Values tab for each of the eligibility records you defined.
b. For the Security Specialist eligibility record, you want to pay double their regular rate. Insert a default
multiple of 2.
c. For the Security Manager eligibility record, you want to pay triple their regular rate. Insert a default multiple
of 3.
4. To cost each “on-call hours” payment differently for each eligibility record:
a. Select the Costing tab for each of the eligibility records you defined:
b. For each employee type, specify the appropriate General ledger account number segment.
Predefined Employee and Employer Tax Elements

You must define eligibility and cost the following predefined employee and employer tax elements:
Tax Element Name Input Value Notes
US Taxation N/A You must define eligibility for this predefined element
as an open link.
Do not cost this element.

Family Leave Insurance Employee Tax FLI Tax Calculated Family Leave Insurance (FLI) applies to certain
states only. This element is the preferred method to
cost FLI taxes, although you can cost the State

Secondary Element Classifications

Secondary classifications are subsets of the primary classifications. Use them to manage wage basis rules for
deductions and taxes. There could be cases where you need to create a new secondary classification to suit your
business needs.
To create a new secondary classification:
1. Start the Manage Element Classifications task in the Payroll Calculation work area.
2. Enter the appropriate LDG, and click Search.
3. Select the appropriate primary classification in the search results.
4. Select Actions > Edit.
5. In the Secondary Classifications section, select Actions > Create.
6. Enter the new name and start date.
7. Click OK.
8. Create any new wage basis rules as needed. See Creating Wage Basis Rules for details.
Domestic Partner Secondary Classifications

The Imputed Earnings primary classification includes two secondary classifications related to domestic partners:
» Domestic Partner Dependent: For nontaxable benefits

» Domestic Partner Nondependent: For taxable benefits
When defining elements of these types, you must select the secondary classification that best meets your
requirements.
Salary Basis
Best practice for Payroll Implementation projects is to setup salary basis and payrolls before hiring employees. A
salary basis allows employers to:
» Establish the period of time for which an employee’s salary is quoted

» Link a payroll element to a salary basis
To set up the salary basis:
1. Sign in to the application with a role that has compensation administrator privileges, such as
CMP_ADMIN_ALL.
2. Navigate to the Compensation work area.
3. Select Manage Salary Basis.
4. Click Create.
5. On the Create Salary Basis page, select the element to use for the salary basis and provide the required
information.

Gross-up Earnings
The following is an illustration on how to configure the system to process a bonus gross-up element:
1. Define the gross-up earning element using the following information:
Field Name Value
Primary Classification Supplemental Earning
Secondary Classification Bonus
Employment Level Assignment Level
Recurring or Nonrecurring Nonrecurring
Process the element only once in each payroll period? Yes
Can person have more than one entry in period? Yes
Process and pay separate or with other earnings? Process separately and pay separately
Tax across multiple pay periods No
Prorate across all periods earned and consider for FLSA No
Calculation Rule Flat amount
Default periodicity Periodically
Periodicity conversion rule Periodic Work Schedule Rate Annualized
Work Units reported None
Subject to Retro No
Calculate gross amount from specified net amount Yes
Include in earnings calculation of FLSA No
Include in hours calculation FLSA No
2. To create element eligibility links, click Element Eligibility in the Element Overview section and then select
Create Element Eligibility from the Actions menu.
3. Click Submit and then Done.
4. To ensure the FIT deduction is calculated at 39.6 percent (the highest tax bracket), override the Supplemental
Rate percentage on the employee’s Manage Payroll Calculation Information page for the federal employee
withholding certificate.
5. To define the element entries for the gross-up element:
a. Navigate to the Manage Element Entries task.
b. Search for the person.
c. Click Create.
d. Enter the appropriate effective date, and select the gross-up earnings element name.
e. Enter the net value to be used for the grossup calculation in the Net field.
f. Enter 0.01 in the To Within field. This is the default.
g. Click Submit and Done.
6. Calculate quick pay, using the Supplemental run type. Deselect any elements on element entry that you don’t
want processed.

Refer to “QuickPay: How It Is Processed” in the Help Portal for instructions on how to run a quick pay operation.
7. Click Next, and enter parameter details.

8. Click Next and then Submit.
9. Click Go to Task.
10. Navigate to the View Person Process Results task to see the gross-to-net calculation results.
Overtime Earnings
Oracle Fusion HCM for the US determines if an employee is eligible for overtime according to the FLSA status
(exempt or non-exempt) of the job that is assigned to the employee. Employers define a job as nonexempt in the
FLSA Status field found in the United States Job Information region (refer to the job work structures previously
defined in this document).
Refer to the Oracle Support Document 1600746.1 - Oracle Fusion HRMS (US): US Overtime Setup white paper for
necessary steps for the overtime set up.
NOTE: When creating an overtime earnings element you should not use the name “Overtime” for any element
name or reporting name. "Overtime” is a reserved term, and including it in user-defined elements will interfere
with balance initializations.
Involuntary Deductions
Refer to the Oracle Support Document 1597039.1 - Oracle Fusion HRMS (US): Payroll Involuntary Deductions white
paper for full details on involuntary deductions.
For Release 12, refer to the Oracle Support Document 2238172.1 - Oracle Fusion HRMS (US): Electronic Income
Withholding Orders Processing Guide for full details on e-IWO (Electronic Income Withholding Orders).
Deferred Compensation
Deferred compensation plans allow you to save for retirement on a pretax or after-tax basis. Employees elect to
participate in a plan whereby they can choose one or more deductions from wages on a pretax or after-tax basis. In
most cases, the pretax deferred wages are not subject to federal income tax or state income tax withholding at the
time of deferral. However, they are included as wages subject to Social Security, Medicare, and Federal
Unemployment taxes.
Supported Deferred Compensation Plans

Oracle currently supports the following deferred compensation plans:
» 401 (k)
» 401 (k) Catch-up
» Roth 401 (k)
» Roth 401 (k) Catch-up
Employer match is also available for these plans.
Contribution Limits
There are maximum contribution limits issued by the federal government. Oracle configures and maintains the
following values in Calculation Value Definitions:
» Deferred Compensation 401k Annual Limit
» Deferred Compensation 401k Catch Up Annual Limit
» Elective Deferral Limit

» Eligible Compensation Annual Limit
Balance and Feed

The percentage deduction deferred compensation calculations use the Deferred Compensation 401K Eligible
Earnings balance. You must feed this balance for your eligible earnings indirect element.
For the proper calculation of involuntary deductions disposable income, use the Manage Balance Definitions task to
feed any 401 (k) catch-up indirect elements to the Other Pretax balance definition.
Time Card Elements

Wage Basis Rules

Oracle Fusion HCM for the US provides the wage basis rules at the federal and state levels for use in the taxation of
earnings. This includes rules for primary classifications of supplemental earnings, imputed earnings, and pretax
deductions along with the corresponding secondary classifications. It does not provide wage basis rules for local
taxes.
For information on wage basis rules as they relate to involuntary deductions, see Oracle Fusion Human Capital
Management for United States: Payroll Involuntary Deductions (1597039.1) on My Oracle Support.
Viewing Wage Basis Rules

Use the Manage Component Group Rules task from the Payroll Calculation work area to view the wage basis rules:
1. Navigate in the tree structure to Federal > Wage Basis Rules > No References.
2. View the wage basis rules for Imputed Earnings, Pretax Deductions, and Supplemental Earnings as they relate
to each federal-level tax.
For Earnings, a check mark indicates the earning is subject to that tax.
NOTE: The Not Withholdable Federal Tax column indicates the earning is subject to federal tax but no tax is
withheld.
For Pretax Deductions, a check mark indicates that the deduction is subject to taxation and does not reduce
subject wages. If no check mark is present, then the deduction is not subject to taxation and does reduce
subject wages.
3. Navigate in the tree structure to Regional > Wage Basis Rules > State.

4. View the wage basis rules for Imputed Earnings, Pretax Deductions, and Supplemental Earnings as they relate
to each state-level tax.
5. Due to the large volume of data, filter the data to view a particular state. Use the field in Search region to filter
the data.
Creating Wage Basis Rules

There are no seeded wage basis rules at the local level (city, county, or school). While most local wage basis rules
follow their state wage basis rules, there are a few states where the local wage basis rules differ. You must create
the local wage basis rules in these cases.
For example, at the Ohio city level, Deferred Compensation 401k and Deferred Compensation 401k Catch Up are
subject to tax. At the Kentucky local level, all Pretax Section 125 secondary classifications are taxable (Dental Care
125, Dependent Care 125, Flexible Spending Account, Health Care 125, Health Savings Account, Health Savings
Account Catch Up, and Vision Care 125).
Use the Manage Component Group Rules task from the Payroll Calculation work area to create a local wage basis
rule.
For example, to create a new city tax rule for Ohio:
1. In the tree structure, select the Regional node.

To define wage basis rules at the federal level taxes, select the Federal node.
2. Select Related deductions > City Tax > Wage Basis Rules.
3. Select Actions > Create.
The Create Wage Basis Rule UI appears.
4. Enter the following information:
Field Name Requirement Mapping
Effective Start Date Required Use either the implementation date or the earliest date a pay period
exists.
State Optional Full state name or 2-character state abbreviation.

NOTE: How you configure your state name settings determines
how the values appear in this field. For further information, see
the “Configuring State Display Properties” section.
County Mandatory Appropriate county from the LOV.

NOTE: Although the UI does not denote this field as required,
this information is necessary for creating local tax rules.
City Mandatory Appropriate city from the LOV.

NOTE: Although the UI does not denote this field as required,
this information is necessary for creating local tax rules.
Primary Classification Mandatory This configuration most commonly uses the following:
 Imputed Earnings
 Pretax Deductions
 Supplemental Earnings
Select all secondary Mandatory If you select Yes for Subject to Wage Basis Rule below, you must
classifications select No here.
Secondary Classification Mandatory If you select No for Subject to Wage Basis Rule below, you must

select an appropriate secondary classification.
Subject to Wage Basis Rule Mandatory If you select Yes here, you must select No for Select all secondary
classifications.
5. Click Submit.
You may need to query by state to see the data you just created. If so, enter a value in field directly above
State for the state entered in previous step. This filters the data in the UI for that state. If a blank field is not
available for entry above State, select the filter icon.
These rules are stamped with the LDG and are not overwritten by Oracle Fusion HCM for the US.
6. Select the row to update.

You must repeat the following steps for each combination of primary classification and secondary classification
for each state, county, or city that needs updating.
7. In the Actions drop down list, choose Edit > Correct.

The Correct Wage Basis Rule for Secondary Classification window appears.
8. Select the Subject to wage basis rule box.

For Ohio, 401 (k) does not reduce subject wages at the local level and is considered taxable.
9. Click Submit.
The Wage Basis Rules UI returns the row corrected with a check in the Use in Wage Basis column.
10. Create a wage basis rule for Deferred Compensation 401k Catch Up.
You must complete this change for every state, county, city combination for the locales the employer is in for
Ohio.
11. If county taxes are impacted, you must apply the same entries for the state and county combinations for each
appropriate primary classification and secondary classification.
12. Complete a review of all secondary classifications impacted to determine which entries require corrections.
For example, when working with pretax deductions, determine what Section 125 secondary classifications are
impacted for a particular state-county-city or state-county combination. There could be a difference between
the treatment of HSAs, FSAs, Dental, Vision, Healthcare, and Dependent Care. One or more may need
corrections where others may not.
Editing Wage Basis Rules

You may want to change the seeded wage basis rules. For example, the seeded rule for Group Term Life (GTL) for
the applicable federal and some state components defaults to a “Not withholdable” rule. You may want to change
this to “Withholdable”.
To edit the predefined wage basis rules:
1. Start the Manage Component Group Rules task, and query your LDG.
2. Select the Federal or Regional component (depending on what you are trying to update).
3. Expand the Federal or Regional folder at the top, and then expand the Related Deductions folder.
4. Expand the Not withholdable folder, and then select the Wage Basis Rules folder.
5. Select Create from the Actions menu.
6. Enter an effective date.
7. If you are updating the State component, select your appropriate state.
8. Select a primary classification and secondary classification.

9. Mark the Subject to wage basis rule as No, and click Submit. This cancels the seeded rule.
10. Navigate to the Federal Tax or State Tax folder under the Related Deductions folder.
11. Select the Wage Basis Rules folder.
12. Select Create from the Actions menu.
13. Enter an effective date.
14. If you are updating the State component, select your appropriate state.
15. Select a primary classification and secondary classification.
16. Mark the Subject to wage basis rule option as Yes, and click Submit. This creates the new rule.
Document Delivery Preferences

You typically define delivery preferences for documents that are delivered periodically from employers to workers,
such as payslips or year-end tax statements. You can select default delivery methods for a document type (online
and paper), and specify other delivery related preferences. Set these preferences using the Manage Document
Types task in the Setup and Maintenance work area.
Person-Level Overrides
You can enable persons to override the delivery preferences for their documents through their Portrait Gallery. The
elections they choose override delivery preferences specified elsewhere for the document type.
Document Delivery Preference Configuration

To set the delivery preferences for any of the HCM documents (such as payslip, W_2, and W_2C):
1. Start the Manage Document Types task.

2. Select the Category Payroll, and click Search.
3. Click Payslip.
4. Under Document Delivery Defaults, select the Delivery Method(s).
5. Repeat these steps if you want to override the enterprise level for W_2 and W_2c.
NOTE: The third-party quarterly tax filing process references the enterprise level only if an employee-level
override does not exist for W_2. It does not reference the work structure overrides.
Process Configuration Group

Process configuration groups ensure that the documents you are producing are published to the correct area in the
Document of Records.
Process Configuration Group for Payslips

When running the Generate Payslips process to generate payslips, you must specify a process configuration group
in the Process Configuration Group field. The process configuration group you select must have the following
parameter set to Y: “XML Data Source For document of records delivery options performance purposes, determines
if XML is derived from the database. Default: Y." This ensures the process properly publishes the payslip to the
Document of Records.

Process Configuration Group for Forms W-2, W-2c, and 1095-C
To post forms W-2, W-2c, and 1095-C to the DOR, you must configure a different process configuration group that
has the XML Data Source parameter set to N. This process configuration group must be specified when running the
W-2 and W-2c employee report in final mode or the 1095-C employee report.
To define the process configuration group:

1. Start the Manage Payroll Process Configuration task.
2. On the Manage Payroll Process Configuration page, click Create under Configuration Groups.
3. On the Create Configuration Group page, provide a name and click Save and Close.
4. Select the configuration group you just created.
5. Under Configuration Group Details, set the value to N for “XML Data Source For document of records delivery
options performance purposes, determines if XML is derived from the database. Default: Y."
Employee Management
Once the organizational and workforce structures have been defined by the Implementation Team, the user is ready
to manage their workers’ data in the application. To perform tasks related to person and employee management,
you would typically sign in to the application using a role connected to a user, such a Human Resource Specialist,
rather than to a member of the Implementation Team.
NOTE: You can load employee data through file-based loaders instead of direct entry in the application. Refer
to the following documents for additional details:
» Document 1595283.1 (Oracle Fusion Human Capital Management File-Based Loader for Release 7 and 8
for more details on the File Based Loader)
» Document 2030268.1 (Oracle Fusion Payroll Batch Loader User Guide for Release 9)
Configuring Disabilities
Before you can assign disabilities to employees, you must define the specific disability types and statuses required
for your organization’s business needs.
NOTE: When using the Manage Person task, you select these values through the Type and Requested
Accommodation Status fields in the Legislative Information region on the Disabilities tab.
Use the Manage Common Lookups task to set the valid entries for the following lookups:
Lookup Field
HRX_US_ADA_TYPE Type
HRX_US_ADA_STATUSES Requested Accommodation Status
Refer to the “Person Lookups: Explained” topic on the Help Portal for a list of other person disability lookups
available from Global Human Resources.
Hiring a Worker
The new hire process is the first task in the workforce lifecycle.

NOTE: Before you can hire an employee, you must have already defined all available business units, jobs,
grades, departments, locations, overtime periods, and other payroll values must have been previously defined.
The business unit you select determines which job, grades, and department you can select.
To hire an employee:
1. Select New Person under Workforce Management in the Navigator.

2. In the task list on the left, select Hire an Employee.
The supported person types for the US are:
» Employee
» Contingent Worker
» Nonworker
» Pending Worker
3. On the Identification page, provide the following information in the Basic Details section:
Hire Date Date of the employee’s hire.
Hire Action Select Hire.
Hire Reason Valid action reasons defined for the hire action.
Legal Employer Displays a list of all legal employers for the US.
4. Provide the following information in the Personal Details section:
Last Name / First Name Name format is determined by the formats predefined for the US.
Date of Birth Not mandatory for HR implementations, but it is mandatory for US payroll
implementations.
5. Use the National Identifiers table to enter the Social Security number.
6. Click Next.
7. On the Person Information page, in the Home Address section, provide an address that conforms to the
predefined US address format.
All employees attached to a payroll must have a home address throughout their period of employment. You
cannot delete or end-date the home address of a person who has been assigned to a payroll. When you enter
a new address for an employee, the task automatically end-dates the old address record for you.
If you enter the ZIP Code first, the city, state, and county fields are automatically populated.
To add another address to your employee’s record, such as a mailing address, do so after completing the hiring
process. On the Manage Person page, select the plus sign next to Addresses. This allows you to add
additional Mailing Address and Resident Tax Address types.
NOTE: You cannot add multiple addresses for a given address type on a given effective date.
8. Specify any of the following optional information:
» Phone and E-Mail
» Marital Status, Ethnicity, and Veteran fields in the Legislative Information section
NOTE: The Ethnicity and Veteran fields are required for EEO and VETS reporting.

» Citizenship and Visa Information
» Emergency Contacts
9. Click Next.
10. On the Employment Information page, provide the necessary work relationship, payroll relationship,
assignment, job, manager, payroll, and salary details.
NOTE: Use the Payroll Details section to associate a TRU and payroll with the employee. If you opt not to, this
employee would not automatically receive an Employee Withholding Certificate, and you would have to create it
manually. See Manual Tax Card Creation for more instructions.
11. For nonpayroll implementations, attach your employees to a reporting establishment.

If you do not, when you run the EEO-1 report process, it associates the employee to the TRU identified in the
“TRU for the New Hire Report” field. This field is located in the Manage Legal Entity HCM Information task.
Assigning the employee to a reporting establishment is not required for payroll implementations.
12. Click Submit.

Once a TRU is attached to an employee, the W-4 Federal Tax Card is generated. The association to the TRU
is also generated. Additionally, the US taxation element is automatically added to the employee’s element
entry once the association to the TRU is done. This tax card is not created for HR-only customers.
Verifying Employee New Hire Status in Work Relationship Details

When hiring or rehiring employees, the New Hire Status field indicates whether they are to be included or excluded
from new hire reporting. Find this field in the Work Relationship Details of the Employment Information page.
New Hire Status Identifies the employee’s employment Status as pertains to the New Hire report:
Include in the New Hire report Employee is to be included in the next run of
the New Hire report.
Already reported Employee has already been included in a

previous run of the New Hire report. The
New Hire report process automatically sets
all included employees to this status upon
completion in final mode.
Excluded from the New Hire report Employee is not included in the report.

Payroll Processing
There are several factors that make up the payroll processing.
Taxation Within Oracle Fusion HCM Payroll

Vertex provides all the statutory compliance for the Oracle Fusion HCM Global Payroll engine, but it is important for
you to understand how the payroll process handles US taxation.
Managing the Employee Withholding Certificate

The Employee Withholding Certificate is the default tax card. For most employees, it is created automatically during
the New Hire process. The Employee Withholding Certificate provides information used in taxation. Items such as
filing status, number of allowances, and exemptions from taxes are specified on the card. If no values are entered,
during tax calculations, a default value of Single for filing status and zero allowances will be used.
NOTE: For states that levy school district income taxes, you must manually populate the school district on the
employee withholding certificate. Depending on the state, you enter the school district under either the city or
county node. For resident addresses in a township, you must populate the tax district field on the address
before you can populate the proper school district on the tax card.
Setting Up Automatic Tax Card Creation

To ensure that new workers get an Employee Withholding Certificate:
1. Use the Manage Features by Country or Territory task to set the SELECTED_EXTENSION parameter to either
PAYROLL or PAYROLL_INTERFACE, as appropriate to your implementation.
2. Confirm that element eligibility has been created for the US Taxation element. This element is automatically
added to employee’s element entry when the association to the Tax Reporting Unit is completed.
Manual Tax Card Creation

There are cases where an employee would not have their tax card automatically created, such as if they were
loaded through the File Based Loader utility.
For these employees, to create an Employee Withholding Certificate:

1. Navigate to the Payroll Calculations work area.
2. Start the Manage Calculation Cards task.
4. Click Create.
5. Enter an appropriate Effective-As-of-Date, and select Employee Withholding Certificate for Name.
6. Enter employee information as appropriate at the Federal level.
7. Click Save.
8. Select the Regional link under the Component Groups tree.
9. Enter employee information as appropriate for the Regional level.
10. Click Save.
11. Select the Associations link under the Component Groups tree.
12. Under Associations, click Create.
13. Select the Tax Reporting Unit, and click OK.
14. Click Save. This creates the US Taxation Component and is displayed in the Calculation Component column
after saving.

15. Under Association Details, click Create.
16. Select the Employment Terms or Assignment Number and the Calculation Component created in prior steps,
and click OK.
17. Click Save.
18. Upon tax card association creation, the following fields are auto-populated with default values on the federal-
level employee withholding certificate and should be verified:
» State for Unemployment Calculation
» State for Disability Calculation
» Primary Work Address
Changing the TRU for an Assignment

To change the TRU for a preexisting assignment on the Employee Withholding Certificate:
2. Select Manage Calculation Cards.
4. Click Employee Withholding Certificate.
5. Click Associations under the Component Groups tree.
6. Select the Tax Reporting Unit under Associations for which the assignment currently exists.
If the association for the TRU for the new assignment does not already exist, create it now.
7. Select the assignment number to change under Association Details.

8. Click Edit>Update.
9. Select the Calculation Component for the new TRU.
This end dates the record for the assignment associated with the previous TRU and creates a new record for
the new TRU.
Wage Accumulation
On the Employee Withholding Certificate, each tax component group (Federal and Regional) has a Withholding
Exemption section. To exempt an employee from tax withholding or wage accumulation, mark the following as Yes:
Field Name Result
Exempt from (component) Income Tax Does not withhold this tax but does accumulate wages for the component.
Exempt from Wage Accumulation Does not withhold tax, and does not accumulate wages for the component.
If you mark both as exempt, the payroll process ignores the Exempt from Wage Accumulation setting.
Manage Tax Withholding in My Portrait

Employees can update their own withholding information in Portrait using the Manage Tax Withholding action:
1. Select Manage Tax Withholding action in the left panel under Actions.
This displays the Employee Withholding Certificate page.
2. Click Edit. This is available for both the federal and state level.
When you access the federal employee withholding certificate, the system displays the federal W-4 editable
PDF form. For those states that do follow federal, the state name is stamped on the editable federal PDF form
and the filing status defaults from the federal component. For those states that do not follow federal, the

specific state’s editable PDF form displays. The employee can perform their updates on these forms for both
federal and state withholding. When the form is submitted, the data is saved to the system. See the
Calculation, Withholding, and Maintenance of Pennsylvania Local Earned Income Tax section of this guide for
information on accessing the PA Residency Certificate in My Portrait.
NOTE: You must ensure your browser is set to use the Adobe Acrobat plugin as its default PDF file viewer. Refer
to the Mozilla Support or Microsoft Community websites for instructions on how to configure Firefox or Internet
Explorer. Do not use Google Chrome for this activity, as it is not compatible with the Adobe PDF file viewer.
Manage Tax Withholding using Smart Navigation

Starting from Release 12, the My Portrait page will not be available for employees to update their withholding
information. Employees can update their withholding information in Smart Navigation using the Manage Tax
Withholding action:
1. Click the About Me > Personal Information menu item.
2. Click More information icon under My Details.
3. Click Payroll
4. Click Manage Tax Withholding
This displays Employee Withholding Certificate page.
Refer to Manage Tax Withholding in My Portrait section for instructions to edit or add state withholding information.
Tax Calculation
Oracle Fusion HCM Global Payroll automatically calculates your taxes when you perform a payroll run. The
following describes the rules it uses when doing so.
Payroll Processing
When you perform a payroll run, the payroll process:
1. Determines the resident and work tax addresses based on the following hierarchy:
Address Type Priority
Location address 4
Location override address 3
Assignment-level location override 2
Work at home flag = Yes 1 (overrides assignment, location override, and location)
Higher priorities override the lower ones.
The process derives the resident tax address from the home address, and the work tax address is derived from
the work location or, if the work-at-home flag is enabled, it uses the home address.
2. Determines the related withholding status and any additional information from the tax calculation card.
3. Passes this information to Vertex for calculation.
Other Considerations
Your tax calculations are also impacted by the following:
» Resident and work location tax addresses are derived by the following:
» Tagged earnings

Used when a unit of paid time is to be taxed in a different jurisdiction, such as when entering 8 hours of
time working in a different location than where the person normally works. When tagged as such, the
payroll process taxes the calculated pay for those units of time at the designated jurisdiction. If the
employee does not have any withholding elections for the tagged jurisdiction, then the process
automatically calculates the tax at the highest withholding status or allowance elections.
» Earnings distribution card

» Resident and work default tax address hierarchy
Taxation is derived based on where the person is located as of the last day of the pay period. For
example, if you make a mid-pay period change, the taxation would still be based on the location as of the
end of the pay period.
» Wage basis rules determine the taxable income

Refer to Wage Basis Rules for additional information.
» Payroll run type
Run Type Description
Supplemental All earnings are taxed at the supplemental rate.
Regular If the supplemental earnings element run type is set to process separately or pay separately,
these elements tax at the supplemental rate, otherwise they tax at the W-4 rate.
» Organization calculation cards capture:

» SUI and SDI rates
» Self-adjustment settings
» Overrides to standard rates
» Employee withholding certificate (tax card) captures an employee’s filing status and exemptions at the federal,
state, county, city, school district, and tax district levels
Also captures the SUI and SDI state and any employee-level overrides.
» When using the percentage method tax calculation, Vertex automatically rounds the withholding to the nearest
whole dollar for the following states:
» Colorado
» Idaho
» Maine
» Missouri
» Montana
» North Carolina
» Oklahoma
» West Virginia
Supplemental Taxation Overrides

California taxes the withholding rates on bonus and stock option payments at a different supplemental withholding
rate than other supplemental earnings. You can specify alternate tax methods for these kinds of earnings, either for
new Supplemental Earning elements or existing ones.

Prerequisites
Before you can create or modify Supplemental Earning elements, you must deploy the “Element Information EFF”
extensible flexfield:
1. Navigate to the Setup and Maintenance work area.

2. Select the All Tasks tab.
3. Search for the Manage Extensible Flexfields task.
4. Click Go to Task.
5. Search for the "pay%element%" Flexfield Code.
6. Select the search result, and click Deploy Flexfield.
7. Click Done.
NOTE: You can override the supplemental tax method only for supplemental earnings configured as “Process
separately, but pay with other earning”. California is the only state available for selection.
Supplemental Earnings Elements

To set the alternate rate on a Supplemental Earnings element:
1. Navigate to the Payroll Calculation work area.

2. Select the Manage Elements task.
3. Search for the supplemental earnings element (ensure your query returns the shadow elements as well).
4. Select the <element name> Calculator shadow element.
5. Select Edit>Correct.
6. Scroll down to the Element Information EFF: Element Information region.
7. Select California for State and Alternate flat rate for Supplemental Tax Method.
8. Click Submit.
FUTA Calculations
Oracle Fusion Global Payroll supports the calculation of Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) deductions. In
support of FUTA calculations, consider the following:
» FUTA Standard Value Definitions Overrides

» FUTA Rate Override
» FUTA Credit Reduction Rate Overrides
» FUTA Tax Balance Adjustments Process
FUTA Standard Value Definitions Overrides

Standard value definitions for FUTA tax and FUTA wage limit are predefined. To view these definitions and override
the values at the LDG level:
1. Navigate to the Payroll Calculation work area.

2. Select Manage Calculation Value Definitions.
3. Search for Federal Unemployment Tax.
4. Select the link for either the rate or wage limit.
5. In the Calculation Values section, add a new effective dated row and enter the new information.
FUTA Rate Override

To override the standard FUTA rates at the PSU or TRU level:

1. To enter an override at the PSU level, navigate to Manage Legal Entity Calculation Cards.
To enter an override at the TRU level, navigate to Manage Legal Reporting Unit Calculation Cards.
2. Select Calculation Rules for Tax Reporting and Payroll Statutory Unit.
3. Enter the appropriate effective as-of-date.
4. Click Federal Unemployment Calculation Component.
5. Select the Enterable Calculation Values on Calculation Cards tab.
6. Select Create.
7. From the Name dropdown, select Federal Unemployment Employer Rate.
8. Enter the rate. Enter the rate as a decimal. For example, 1 percent would be entered as 0.01.
NOTE: To override the FUTA credit reduction rate, see the next section.
FUTA Credit Reduction Rate Overrides

FUTA credit reductions rates are predefined for each of the states that require a credit reduction and are updated
annually during end-of-year legislative updates. If a state continues to have an outstanding loan through November,
an additional 0.3 percent credit reduction may apply, along with the potential for an additional benefit cost rate add-
on tax. In certain circumstances, you may need to override these rates. To override the rate:

2. Select Manage Calculation Value Definitions.
3. Advance Search for Name that contains Credit Reduction in your LDG (make sure to search with the effective
date that you want to update the rate).
4. Click <state name> Federal Unemployment Tax Credit Reduction Rate.
5. Click Actions > Add Row.
6. Enter the From Value, To Value, and, Rate.
7. Click Submit and Done.
FUTA Tax Balance Adjustments Process

You can configure FUTA taxes to self-adjust on the organization calculation card. However, FUTA credit reduction
rates are received in Nov/Dec timeframe and apply to the current year taxes. The payroll process does not self-
adjust if employees have been since terminated.
For any employee whose FUTA tax needs adjusting due to a rate change, use the Run US Tax Balance Adjustment
process to perform the tax adjustment.
1. From the Payroll Checklist work area, run the Run US Tax Balance Adjustment process.
This process creates a balance adjustment batch. The batch uses the same name as the flow you used when
you ran the process.
NOTE: The balance adjustment transaction uses the effective date you enter here. This effective date is used
by the tax filing extracts to determine inclusion on the tax files.
2. Download the batch to the Payroll Batch Loader (PBL). There is no separate audit report.
3. Verify the batch through PBL.
4. Run the Transfer Batch Process.
5. Run the Adjust Multiple Balances process.
Calculation, Withholding, and Maintenance of Pennsylvania Local Earned Income Tax

As part of the payroll calculation process, Vertex compares the Resident Income Tax Rate (city+school) and Non-
Resident Income Tax Rate (city) and uses the higher tax rate for calculating local taxes. In cases where the total

rate is the same, the payroll process withholds the resident tax. The following information outlines how to configure
your application to support the PA Local Earned Income Tax.
Configuring the Pennsylvania Local Earned Income Tax

To configure Oracle Fusion HCM for the US to support the Pennsylvania local earned income tax calculation:
1. You must first ensure that you have run the Load Payroll Tax Information for US process. This process allows
the political subdivision (PSD) codes to become available for use during tax calculations. Refer to the Load
Payroll Tax Information section for instructions.
NOTE: Pennsylvania PSD codes, school districts, and townships are stored in a data table that is not
accessible through the Manage Geographies task. You can load this data only through the Load Payroll Tax
Information for US process. You cannot otherwise change the values.
2. If you haven’t done so already, use the Manage Locations task to define the PSD code each Pennsylvania
work location. Refer to Locations in the Workforce Structures section for instructions.
3. If needed, configure the withholding of Pennsylvania local taxes for employees that work out-of-state. Refer to
Calculating PA Resident Tax for Non-PA Locations in the Legal Reporting Units section for instructions.
4. Update the PSD codes on individual employees’ Residency Certificates as needed.
For newly hired Pennsylvania employees, the employee tax card inherits both the work and resident PSD
codes from their work location and home address. The resident PSD code may not be accurate. This is
because Pennsylvania addresses often have varying taxation districts. To ensure proper taxation:
a. Obtain the correct PSD code and school district for the employee’s resident address from the PA Municipal
Statistics website.
b. Correct these entries on the employee’s tax card.
Additionally, there are some other situations where you must manually update the PSD codes on the
employee’s Residency Certificate:
» The employee's work location is outside of Pennsylvania, the employee resides in Pennsylvania, and the
employee has transitioned to work-at-home status. In this case, you must set the work PSD to the
resident PSD code.
» The employee's work location has changed from a state other than Pennsylvania to Pennsylvania, and the
employee resides in Pennsylvania. In this case, you must set the work PSD code.
» The employee changes from one work Pennsylvania location to a different work Pennsylvania location. In
this case, you must correct the work PSD code.
NOTE: Any time you make a location change to a Pennsylvania employee, whether it is their home
address or work location, you must confirm that the PA Residency Certificate has the proper resident and
work PSD codes and school districts. The HR Sync process does not update the resident PSD code for
existing employees when there is a change in their PA residential address.
To update the codes:
a. Start the Manage Calculation Cards task from the Payroll Calculations work area.
b. Search for and select the person record.
c. Click Employee Withholding Certificate.
d. Select PA under the Component Groups tree and Regional link.
e. Open the Action menu, and select Correct or Update.
f. Update the following values as needed:
» Resident PSD Code
» Work PSD Code

» Resident School District
» Work School District
g. Do not enter any values for the Resident Income Tax Rate and Non-Resident Income Tax Rate fields.
h. Click Save and Close.
NOTE: The payroll process automatically determines the PSD code by:
1. Checking the employee’s residency certificate.
2. If not found there, it attempts to determine the code based on the employee’s home address, including the tax
district. This is for the Resident PSD Codes only.
3. If it is unable to derive the PSD code, or if you have specified an invalid code on the residency certificate, the
payroll calculation stops for that employee. The payroll process logs an error in the payroll results.
Pennsylvania Residency Certificate in the Person Gallery

The Pennsylvania Residency Certificate form is available from the Person Gallery. This feature enables employees
to view and update their own information. The form defaults the employee and employer information such as name,
address, SSN, and employer FEIN.
To navigate to the form:
1. Click My Portrait.
2. Click Manage Tax Withholding.
3. Select the Pennsylvania row, and click Edit.
The form opens for the employee to update their Resident and Work PSD codes.
4. Once updated, scroll to the bottom of the form, and click I Agree.
5. Click Done.
Pennsylvania and Maryland Reciprocity

There is a reciprocity agreement for local taxation between Pennsylvania and Maryland specific to the following 11
Pennsylvania tax collection districts (TCDs):
Name TCD Code
Adams 01
Centre 14
Franklin 28
Fulton 29
Huntingdon 31
Juniata 34
Lancaster 36
Mifflin 44
Perry 50
Somerset 56
York 67
NOTE: A few locals within these jurisdictions are exempt from this reciprocity agreement. For further
information on which localities follow or don’t follow the reciprocal agreement, see the Vertex Calculation guide.

The reciprocity addresses two key scenarios:
» Employees working in Maryland and living in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania residents are typically liable for withholding at the rate in effect for the Maryland county in which
they are employed, unless they live in one of the 11 TCDs listed above. The payroll calculation does not
withhold Maryland state and county taxes for employees who live in one of these 11 TCDs as long as:
» You have configured your PSU or TRU to withhold Pennsylvania local taxes for employees working out-of-
state (see the Withholding PA Resident Tax for Non-PA Work Locations section above).
» You have the correct setup on the employee’s withholding certificate, in the Residency Certificate section
of the tax card (see Configuring the Pennsylvania Local Earned Income Tax section above).
» You have marked the Maryland state with the Nonresident flag of Yes in the Maryland Regional tax card.
» Employees living in Maryland and working in Pennsylvania
Maryland residents are not required to pay Pennsylvania local taxes if they work in any of the 11 TCDs listed
above. The payroll process does not withhold Pennsylvania local taxes where appropriate, as long as:
» You have the home PSD code entered as 880000 on the employee tax card in the Pennsylvania
Residency Certificate section.
» You have the correct work PSD code that pertains to one of the 11 TCDs entered on the employee tax
card in the Pennsylvania Residency Certificate section.
» You have marked the Pennsylvania state with the Nonresident flag of Yes in the Pennsylvania Regional
tax card.
If they do not work in these TCDs, they are subject to Pennsylvania nonresident local taxation rates.
Withholding for Philadelphia

The payroll process automatically withholds Philadelphia local tax for employees living and/or working in
Philadelphia. For employees living in Philadelphia, it withholds the resident rate. For employees working in
Philadelphia but not living there, it withholds the nonresident rate if it is higher than their resident tax rate. No school
district information is required.
For Philadelphia employees who receive tips, there are two additional balances:
» City Uncollected Tax Tip Wages Nonresident

» City Uncollected Tax Tip Wages Resident
These balances report wages from which no city tax was withheld. You must perform balance adjustments on these
balances in order to populate the data for the tax extracts.
Tagging and Effective Dating for Pennsylvania Local Taxes

There is no ability to tag earnings for different Pennsylvania PSD codes.
The payroll process looks at the Pay Period End date to determine the PSD codes and proper taxation.
Balance Adjustments for Pennsylvania Local Taxes

If balance adjustments are required for taxes that are subject to Pennsylvania Act 32 reporting, you must perform
each adjustment individually for each type of balance (city, school, and local).
For further information, see the following white papers on My Oracle Support:
» Oracle Fusion Human Capital Management for United States: Balance Adjustments (1600728.1)
» Oracle Fusion Human Capital Management for United States: Balance Initialization (1912298.1)

Setting Up Employee Earning Distribution Overrides
The Employee Earnings Distribution Overrides card is used to derive the percentage of earnings to be distributed
over different jurisdictions. The card is created using the Manage Calculation Card task. This card must be created
for each work relationship the employee is in.
To capture the percentage of earnings distribution that applies to the state, county, and city for the employee:
1. Select Manage Calculation Cards in the Payroll Calculation work area.
2. Search for and select the employee.
3. Under Search Results, click Create.
4. Select Employee Earnings Distribution Overrides, and click Continue.
5. To distribute employee earnings to a different state (for example, 50 percent to Alabama):
a. In the Calculation Card Overview panel, click Regional.
b. Select Actions>Create.
c. Select the state.
d. Click Save.
e. In the Calculation Component Details section, select either Edit>Correct or Edit>Update to modify the
percentage.
f. Enter the percentage.
g. Click Save.
6. To distribute employee earnings to a different county (for example, 50 percent to Jefferson county):
a. In the Calculation Card Overview panel, select the state component under Regional.
c. Select the county.
d. Click Save.
7. To distribute employee earnings to a different city (for example, 50 percent to the city of Birmingham):
a. In the Calculation Card Overview panel, select the county component under Regional.
c. Select the city.
d. Click Save.
Reciprocal Agreements and Setting the Employee Nonresident Status

Some states have reciprocal agreements where the employee may claim nonresident status. This allows the
employee to have their resident state tax withheld in lieu of their work state tax. In order to accomplish this, you
must set the Nonresident field on the tax card to Yes. Otherwise, Vertex cannot correctly calculate the reciprocity.
For specific reciprocity tax calculations, refer to the Vertex tax guide.
To set the Nonresident field on the tax card:

3. Select the Employee Withholding Certificate Calculation Card, and click Search (this assumes there is already
an existing Employee Withholding Certificate).
4. Click the Regional Component Group.
If more than one state exists under the Regional group, select the appropriate state.

5. Under State Tax Information, select Yes for Nonresident.
SUI Limits and Changes to State

If an employee has a change in their work state within the same TRU, the system automatically handles the state
specific SUI limits. Once those limits are reached, the state unemployment employee/employer deductions are
stopped. The SUI limit is adjusted automatically for the new state for SUI wages paid in another state. This means
that SUI wage base overrides are not necessary in Oracle Fusion HCM.
NOTE: If the SUI rate changes mid-year, you must turn off the self-adjust to keep the integrity of the calculation
prior to the rate change. You configure self-adjustment settings on the organization calculation card.
Overriding the Employee’s California Wage Plan Code

The California Wage Plan Code is captured at the PSU and TRU levels. To override the state’s Wage Plan Code for
the employee:

3. Select the Reporting Information Calculation Card, and click Search.
4. Click CA under the Regional Component Group.
This assumes there is already an existing CA state Component Group. If not, select Regional and click Create
to create the California state Component Group.
5. Under Calculation Component Details, click Add Row to add the California Reporting Information Calculation
Component Details.
6. Click OK.
7. Select the appropriate Wage Plan Code.
New York Paid Family Leave Taxation

The New York Paid Family Leave tax is effective 1/1/18. However, you can start withholding as early as 7/1/17.
While Vertex supports withholding of the tax beginning in July 2017, Oracle Fusion HCM does not begin support
until 1/1/18.
To begin withholding earlier:

1. Create a Voluntary Deductions element.
2. Modify the voluntary deduction fast formula to use the SDI taxable wages with a tax rate of 0.126 percent,
subject to a weekly wage limit of 1305.92 USD (for a 1.65 USD weekly tax limit).
3. Enter the deduction on the affected employees, and run your payroll.

Payroll Processes
The following items describe useful information for various payroll processes within Oracle Fusion HCM.
US Simplified Payroll Cycle

Use the US Simplified Payroll Cycle flow to run payroll and ancillary processes for your organization.
NOTE: When running the report processes, you can elect to generate them in Microsoft Excel format. For
further information, see the Generating Payroll Reports in Microsoft Excel Format: Procedure topic in the Help
Portal.
This flow contains the necessary tasks to complete the following steps:
1. Calculation of retroactive items

2. Calculation of payroll
3. Generate the Gross-to-Net Report
4. Calculate prepayments

5. Archive periodic payroll results
6. Generate the Payroll Register
7. Make EFT payments
8. Generate check payments
9. Generate payslips
10. Generate the Payment Register Report
11. Transfer payroll costing information to Subledger Accounting
NOTE: The Generate Check Payments task uses the last check number of the previous run plus one as the
default Start Check Number parameter. If you run multiple payroll runs at the same time, they may use the
same default check number. To prevent this from happening:
1. Configure your own Simplified Payroll Cycle flow.

2. Remove the Generate Check Payments task.
3. After each payroll cycle is complete, run this task manually, selecting the correct value for the Start Check
Number parameter.
QuickPay
Use QuickPay to perform a payroll run for a single person without waiting for the normal payroll cycle cut-offs. This
is typically done when certain person-specific events occur, such as new hire, termination, special payments, or a
localized problem with a payroll run that requires reprocessing. The QuickPay flow calculates payroll run results and
prepayments and then allows you to make an external payment to the individual.
Settings that Affect Processing

You specify parameters when you submit the QuickPay flow and then provide additional settings as tasks in the
QuickPay flow are executed:
» QuickPay flow parameters

» Process date of the QuickPay run
» Payroll relationship for the person whose payroll you are processing
» QuickPay calculation settings
» Payroll
» Date paid
» Payroll period for the QuickPay
» Date earned
This is the date the payroll run uses to determine which element entries to process. This is typically the
last day of the payroll period being processed. The default date earned is derived from the payroll
calendar period.
» Run type
Select the type of payroll run, such as regular or supplemental. The run type determines which payroll
calculations to perform, which elements to process, and how to pay the results.
» Element entries
You can exclude element entries that you do not want processed (for example, an employee may not want
to have voluntary deductions taken from a special bonus check). By default, QuickPay processes all
element entries for all terms and assignments associated with the specified payroll relationship, based on
the run type and other settings you provide.

How QuickPay Is Processed
The following figure shows the sequence of tasks in a QuickPay flow:
The QuickPay flow is summarized here:
1. The Calculate QuickPay task calculates payroll run results for the person, based on the settings provided.
2. You verify the run results on the View Person Process Results page and mark the verification task as complete.
3. The Calculate QuickPay Prepayments task calculates payment distribution.
The calculation uses the default payment method and payment source, unless you select to override these
settings in the Prepayments section.
4. You verify the prepayment results in the Prepayment Results section of the View Person Process Results page,
and then mark the verification task as complete.
5. If payment is being made by an internal payment process, such as Make EFT Payments or Generate Check
Payments, you can skip to the end of the flow and then run the payment process now or after processing
multiple QuickPays for the same payment method. Select the Skip Flow action for the Make External Payment
task to skip the rest of the tasks in the flow and mark the flow as complete. When you are ready, run the
payment process, which will pick up unpaid payments from this QuickPay and any others that match the
parameters you provide when you submit the process. If the payment is being made externally, you select the
Make Payment action on the Make External Payments page and record information about the external
payment, such as the check number and reason for generating the payment manually. The application marks
the record as Paid so that it will not be included in the normal payment process.
6. You verify the payment results and mark the task as complete.
Submit the QuickPay Flow

To perform a QuickPay operation:
1. In the Payroll Calculation work area under Person, start the Calculate QuickPay task.

You can also select the Submit a Payroll Flow and then select the QuickPay flow pattern.
2. On the Flow Pattern page, select an LDG and click Next.

3. On the Enter Parameters page, complete the following fields and then click Next:

Payroll Relationship Search for the payroll relationship for the person.
Reason Defaults to Corrective Action.
4. On the Enter Flow Interaction page, click Next.

5. Review the information and click Next.
6. Click OK and View Checklist.
Calculate and Verify Run Results

To calculate and verify the run results:
1. On the Payroll Flow checklist page, click Go to Task for the Calculate QuickPay task.
2. On the Calculate QuickPay page, select Regular in the Run Type field and verify the remaining information in
the Details section.
The Element Entries section refreshes to display all element entries that will be processed in the QuickPay run,
based on the settings defined in the Details section and rules defined for the element entries themselves.
3. Exclude any element entries from being processed by deselecting them.

4. Click Submit Process.
5. Click Go to Task for the Verify Payroll Results task.
6. On the View Person Process Results page, click the person's name in the Search Results.
7. Verify the SOE.
8. Click Done to return to the checklist.
Processing International ACH Transfers

Use the Make EFT Payment process to generate the IAT electronic payment file.
To generate an IAT EFT payment to an employee:
1. Create International Organization Payment Method.

Refer to the Organization Payment Methods section for steps to create the OPM and to enter the EFT details.
2. Attach the OPM to a payroll.

Refer to the Payroll Definitions section for steps to add the OPM to a payroll.
3. Add primary mailing foreign address for employee.
4. Create IAT Personal Payment Method for the employee.
Use Batch Loader to add a personal payment method and country-specific bank account details for an
employee.
5. Run the ‘Make EFT Payments’ process for an organization payment method with a payment type of
International Transfer, ensure that you select the International EFT report category.

Employee Payslip
Occasionally it is necessary for the payroll administrator to view the employee’s payslip and not the SOE, which is
more for deep dive trouble shooting. There are three methods for viewing the payslip:
» View Payslip link in Person Management Work Area

» Documents tab in Manage Person UI
» Manage Document Records UI
Person Management Work Area

To view the employee payslip from the Person Management work area:
1. Click Navigator > Person Management.

3. Select View Payslip.

4. Enter any search criteria.
5. Click Search.
6. Click the URL under the View Payslip column for the desired payment date.
7. Click Open.
Manage Person
To access the payslip from the Documents tab in the Manage Person UI:
1. Click Navigator > Person Management.

3. Click the Documents tab.

4. Click the URL under the Attachments column for the desired payment date.
5. Click Open.

2. Select Payslip from the Type drop down list.
3. Search for and select the person name.
4. Click Search.
5. Click the URL under the Attachments column for the desired payment date.
6. Click Open.
Pretax Deduction Refunds

Occasionally a pretax deduction may be taken from an employee’s pay that was in error. If the element was created
by a conversion row based on Oracle Fusion HCM Benefits, you cannot remove the element entry.
There are two options based on whether payroll has been run or not:
» If payroll has not been processed, you can back out or open the conversion life event and deselect the plan that
resulted in the incorrect deduction (for example, FSA plan).

» If you have processed the payroll, perform the refund during the next payroll run. This method automatically
withholds all appropriate taxes.
If this is not possible:
1. Use QuickPay to perform a partial refund of the amount, such as 80 to 90 percent. Use a Nonpayroll
Payment element to perform the refund. In this way, the employee receives their refund immediately.
NOTE: Taxes are not correctly withheld for this refund, which is why you only want to give them
approximately 80 to 90 percent. See the next steps on how to resolve this.
2. For the next pay cycle, use the appropriate element type to perform a full refund of the amount. This
ensures the correct taxation.
3. Define a Voluntary Deductions element to deduct the partial amount you refunded in the first step.
4. Process the payroll.
Tax Troubleshooting
Before contacting Oracle Support for any of these issues, please check the following:
Problem Solution
Errors during payroll calculation Confirm that a TRU is properly associated to the employee’s withholding
certificate. Refer to the Managing the Employee Withholding Certificate section
for more information.

Multiple Worksite Reporting

The Multiple Worksite Report (MWR) collects information on a business establishment's employment and wages,
distributed by industry, location, and state. You file this report with the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Electronic
Data Interchange (EDI) Collection Center. They use the report data to ensure an equitable distribution of federal
funds through grant programs that use county economic indicators as a basis for allocations.
An employer must submit this information to the EDI Center if they meet all of the following criteria:
» Reports their employees under one SUI account number

» Is engaged in multiple economic activities, is operating under more than one worksite, or both
» Has a total of 10 or more workers employed across all worksites
If an organization has an office at only one location within a state, it is not considered a multiple worksite, and this
report is not necessary.
Prerequisites
Some of the following steps require the use of a task or tasks. You access these tasks through an implementation
project in order to set the scope. Use an existing implementation project with the Workforce Deployment task list
included or create a new one.

All Quarter-to-Date Archive processes must be run and completed before starting this process.
Set Up Steps
To configure Oracle Fusion HCM for the United States to run the MWR report:
1. Use the Manage Legal Reporting Unit Registrations task to set the following fields for all TRUs:
Jurisdiction Field Name Description
United States Federal Tax Registration Number Employer's FEIN.
<state> Unemployment Registration Number Employer's SUI account number.

Insurance
NOTE: You must run this report for the Puerto Rican TRUs separately from your US TRUs.
2. Use the United States Multiple Worksite Reporting region of the Manage Location task to set the following fields
for each location:
Trade Name Name of the client establishment at this location.
Worksite Description Meaningful, unique description of the client establishment, such as store number or plant
name.
Unit Number Five-digit number used in conjunction with the SUI account number to uniquely identify a
location at its address. This field is informational only.
Comment Additional information on any recent changes in your company that may have impacted
employment, wages, and locations, such as changes in business activities, acquisitions,
mergers, and sales. Refer to the BLS website for more information.
Include for Reporting Select Yes if this location is eligible for MWR reporting. When the report is run, all
employees assigned to this location are included in the report. Select No to exclude this
location from the report.
3. For employees designated as work-at-home:

a. Mark employees properly on their Reporting Information Card for inclusion on the MWR.
b. Use the Manage Calculation Cards task to select the location that represents the employees’ state as the
Eligible Reporting Location on their Employee Withholding Certificate.
You must have at least one location per state available for assignment to work-at-home employees. If you
do not specify a location, the report process assigns the employees to location 999999 on the report. The
exception report output includes a warning message, indicating the reporting location state and resident

The report process generates an electronic file, an audit report, and an exception report.
Report Description
Electronic output file This process supports the electronic EDI submission method developed by the BLS. This file
groups locations according to their SUI account numbers under their FEIN, and their
employment data is compiled into a single ASCII fixed field text file.
You are responsible for properly naming, encrypting, and transmitting the output file to the BLS
data collection center in Chicago, where it is then routed to the respective state agencies. This
can be done by FTP, SFTP, or secure web transfer. Refer to the BLS website for further
information.
This file is sorted by:
 State
 SUI account number
NOTE: The output file (eText) generated is based on the MWR data file specifications.
You must transmit the output file to the EDI Center
Audit file Provides totals by FEIN, SUI account number, and worksite description code. It sorts the grand
totals by FEIN and SUI account number. You can review this file to verify that these totals
match the totals returned by your diagnostic reports, such as the Employee Active Balance
Report, Gross-to-Net Report, or your Third-Party Quarterly Tax Extract.
Exception report Includes data mismatches, missing archived data, missing locations, and other errors detected
by the process.

Troubleshooting
There are multiple scenarios where data errors would require the reprocessing of the MWR. Many of these are
logged as events in the MWR exception report.
In the event of such data errors:
1. Roll back the Run Multiple Worksite Electronic Report process.

2. Roll back the Quarter-to-Date Archive process.
3. Resolve your data errors, as described.
4. Run the Quarter-to-Date Archive process, and ensure all processes have completed.
5. Resubmit the Run Multiple Worksite Electronic Report process.
6. Transmit the output file to the EDI Center.
The following are examples of data errors that would require the rerun of the MWR process:
Problem Solution
Location Was Incorrectly Excluded from Report One or more locations are marked as No for the Include for Reporting field
despite having active employees assigned to them.
All active employees must be assigned to a location that is included in the report.
During the data error resolution step, you must do one of the following:
 Reassign the active employees to an eligible location.
 Change the locations' reporting status from excluded to included:
1. Navigate to the Manage Locations task.
2. In the United States Multiple Worksite Reporting region on the
Manage Location page, change the Include for Reporting field to
Yes.
Included Location Was Marked as Inactive One or more inactive locations were included in the report. When the MWR
process was run, all employees attached to these locations were listed in the
exception report.
During the data error resolution step, you must do one of the following for each
affected location:
 Reactivate the location.
 Move all employees to an active location, and remove the inactive location
from the report:
1. Navigate to the Manage Locations task.
2. In the United States Multiple Worksite Reporting region on the
Manage Location page, change the Include for Reporting field to No.
Employee Wages Were Changed After the Report Was This can occur as a result of a late payroll run, balance adjustment, and so on. In
Run this case, no data errors exist; however, the MWR and Quarter-to-Date processes
must be rolled back and rerun in order to update the employee's payroll data.
Report Was Run Before All Quarter-to-Date Archive The Run Multiple Worksite Electronic Report process was started before all
Processes Were Complete Quarter-to-Date Archive processes have completed. As a result, the archive
provided the report with incomplete data.
No data correction is required. Roll back the processes and resubmit them, in the
proper order, ensuring they complete processing.
Work-at-Home Employees not Appearing in Report One or more employees designated as work-at-home are reported in the MWR in
location 999999 or they are included in locations outside their state of residence.
The MWR organizes workers designated as work-at-home in the same state as
their residence tax state. This ensures they are reported in the same state as
their state unemployment insurance state. To ensure work-at-home employees

are properly reported:
For each work-at-home employee, check the following:
 Employees are properly marked for inclusion in this run of the MWR.
 Location representing each of the employees' states exists, and you have
selected those locations as the Reporting Location for Work-at-Home
Employees on the employees' Reporting Information cards.
One location per state is used for all designated work-at-home employees.
Appendix A: Vertex
Vertex installation is a mandatory step for US Payroll and US Payroll Interface clients. Oracle Fusion HCM payroll
processing does not work without Vertex data.
Vertex provides:
» Address Validation: These updates come from Vertex in the monthly ORAMAST.txt (Geography file). The
Load Geographies for US process performs these updates. See the Geographies section for more details.
» Payroll Tax Calculation Rules/Tax Data: These updates come from Vertex in the monthly QFPT.dat (Tax file).
The Load Payroll Tax Information for US process performs these updates. See the Load Payroll Tax
Information for US section for more details.
» Update notifications: When the updates are released by Vertex, those registered with Vertex at the customer
site receive an email notification. For SaaS customers, the Oracle Product Services team receives the
notification and logs a bug to install the files.
Product Extensions
Saas customers do not need to acquire a Vertex license. This is included as part of the Saas service offering. On-
Premise and On-Demand customers must acquire a Vertex license and pay the associated fees.
Address Validation
For SaaS customers, address validation is included with the HR, Payroll, and Payroll Interface product extensions.
It is automatically enforced for the Payroll or Payroll Interface products.
For On-Premise and On-Demand customers, address validation is included with the Payroll product extension only.
For On-Premise and On-Demand customers with HR or Payroll Interface products, customers must acquire a Vertex
license separately in order to get the address validation functionality. For On-Premise or On-Demand customers
with an HR only product extension who want the same address restrictions as provided by the Payroll product (one
home address per employee), they can switch their product extension to Payroll Interface.
Vertex Tax Calculation Reference Material

Non-SaaS customers have on-line access to the latest Vertex Tax documentation using My Vertex.
SaaS users can access their Cloud Notifications website and download the Vertex user’s guide from this site. When
you receive the notification that the Vertex updates are being applied to your environment, there is a “Here” link at
the bottom of the page. (You may want to bookmark this page.) To see the Vertex documents available for
download, click this link and go to the Documentation tab. Oracle keeps the current month’s update and the new
update on this page. There is one document for the US and one for Canada.
NOTE: Although you may get a notification before the 18th of the month, the Vertex guides are not available
until the 18th.

In order to access this download, your Oracle Cloud Administrator must have added you to the Cloud Notification
site with at least Document Viewer privileges. You may download documents if you have Account Administrator or
Document Viewer roles. If your access is Account Viewer, you will not have access to the files. If you are not sure
who the account administrator is for your company, please contact Oracle Support.
NOTE: The Vertex user guides are proprietary to Vertex, and as such, Oracle can only distribute on a need-to-
know basis. Share these documents only with people in your company that have a need to know, such as the
Payroll Department.
Troubleshooting
Problem Solution
Invalid Address Data Is the combination you are trying to enter valid? Confirm it on USPS.com. If
valid, contact Oracle Support.
In any case where entering an address is required, it is good practice to enter the
ZIP Code first. In this way, the application is able to automatically populate other
fields based on the Vertex data.
Customer does not have a US Payroll product extension Switch the product extension to HR-only, and run the Load Geographies for US
and does not want address validation task again. If they have never run the process, they do not need to run it. Setting
the product extension to HR-only should be sufficient.
Payroll Tax Calculation Refer to the Tax Troubleshooting section.

You may be asked to provide additional details from the payroll run. Refer to
“How to Enable Logging for Oracle Fusion Global Payroll” (Doc ID 1536245.1) on
the Oracle Support website.
Make note of logging parameter value “V,” as this is used to log information
related to the Vertex tax calculations. This setting also produces an XML file.
Oracle Support can assist with retrieval if the file is requested by Oracle
Development.
Error during Vertex file load (does not apply to SaaS If the database contains corrupt information, you will receive an error.
customers) Do not copy over an existing database.
NOTE: When installing a new data file, remove the existing ISAM database
and install the new database in an empty directory.
Do not load an older version of the file.
Support and Reference

Contact Oracle Support with any issues not resolved using the troubleshooting tips.
For instructions on how to maintain your Vertex ISAM database after installation, refer to “Updating the Vertex Data
File for US Tax Information: Worked Examples” in the Help Portal.
For additional information, refer to “Oracle Fusion HCM and Payroll (US/CA) Vertex Frequently Asked Questions
(FAQ)” (Doc ID 1613196.1) on the Oracle Support website.
Appendix B: User Interface Configuration

Customers may rebrand Oracle-delivered user interfaces and configure them to fit their corporate needs.
Configuring User Interfaces

In Release 8 and beyond of Oracle Sales Cloud and Oracle Cloud Human Capital Management (Oracle Cloud
HCM), a business system analyst who has been granted administrative privileges can select and apply one of six

user interface themes or configure these themes to include a unique company logo and watermark. The business
system analyst can also change the style and shape of buttons and menus by selecting from several predefined
options and can add unique company news and announcements to the announcement portion of the home page.
Configurations like these can be made within the Settings functional area of the FUSE Simplified UI.
Changing UI Color
Changing the UI color may also be a good way for customers to distinguish between a production environment and
a test environment.
To change the color of the UI:
1. Click Settings.
2. In the Theme dropdown, select the desired color scheme.
3. Click Apply.

Appendix C: Configuring the Predefined Payslip Template

The predefined payslip template:
» Produces both the online and printed payslips, based on the extract delivery option you set
» Provides requirements as established by certain states
For example, California requires that retroactive payments show the period earned. The predefined payslip
template is predefined to display this data.
As with any other predefined report templates, you can configure the payslip template to meet your organization’s
needs.
NOTE: The payslip.xml file contains comprehensive employee payroll information. You must ensure that any
contract you have with a third-party supplier granting them access to this file also contains a requirement to
keep your employees’ information confidential.
Configuring the Template

To configure the predefined payslip template:
1. Log into the Oracle Fusion Business Intelligence (BI) Server and copy the preconfigured USOnline_Payslip
template, located under the path:
/Shared Folders/Human Capital Management/Payroll/Payment Distribution/US
2. Open the preconfigured USOnlinePayslip template, and save it under a new name.
3. Make the required changes.

5. Click Save.
6. In the Additional Details: Payslip section, select the name of the new Online Printed Payslip file created.
8. Click Submit.
When you run the Generate Payslip process, it replaces the predefined template with the new one.
BI Server Information
Refer to the screen capture below for the BI server location for the preconfigured online payslip.

NOTE: There is more than one location for the Online Payslip. Ensure you are modifying the USOnlinePayslip.
When you modify the template, ensure you upload and select “English” as the language and not “English(United
States)”.
Troubleshooting
If you are having trouble generating your payslips, check the following:
1. From the Generate Payslips flow, check to make sure your employees were processed.
2. Check the scheduled process to see if the BI jobs ran.
3. In the BI Publisher process history, check which XDO was called (delivered or configured).
4. Drill down into the requests to see if it generated PDFs for each employee.
5. Check to see if there was a separate Document Records process that ran.
Appendix D: Configuring the Check Template for the MICR Codes

As each bank uses a different MICR code on their checks, you must configure the routing and bank account
numbers to ensure the Generate Check Payment process prints each of them correctly. The following table
illustrates the possible differences between Oracle Fusion HCM’s default template and a bank’s:
Routing Number Account Number Check Number
Oracle Fusion HCM
Check Number Routing Number Account Number

XYZ Bank
To configure how the MICR line appears on printed checks, you must modify the predefined check template.
The following is the preferred method for configuring the predefined check template. Alternatively you could define a
new delivery option to reference your own check template.
1. Log into the BI Server.

2. Copy the preconfigured US Check Writer Report template.
Find this template at:
/Shared Folders/Human Capital Management/Payroll/Payment Distribution/Cheque Report.xdo
3. Save the template into the Custom folder using the same directory structure as the seeded template:
/Custom/ Human Capital Management/Payroll/Payment Distribution
Keep the same .xdo and template name as the predefined version.
4. Open the copied template in Microsoft Word.

5. Use the Word tools to ensure the MICR line meets the requirements of your bank. Elements you may need to
change:
» Font size
» Order of the MICR line fields
» Adding any necessary leading zeros to the check number, routing number, and account number
6. Use Microsoft Word’s symbol library to insert or update any special characters. This symbol varies by bank.
The predefined template uses the following concatenation schema for the routing number:
<?concat(' ',SOURCE_BANK/BRANCH_NUMBER,' ')?>
It uses the following for the account number:

<?concat(SOURCE_BANK/BANK_ACCOUNT_NUM,' ')?>
This concatenation of the special characters enables it to show in the check writer report output.
7. If you need to insert or update the special characters in the MICR line:
a. Copy and paste the appropriate BI Publisher property for the appropriate field into a new blank Microsoft
Word document.
b. Place your cursor in the appropriate place.
c. Open the symbol library.
d. Select the MICR font. You may need to install this font.
e. Insert the symbol you need into the copied BIP property.
f. Copy and paste the BIP property from the new Word document into the modified check writer template.
NOTE: These symbols may appear differently when you paste it into the BIP property.
g. Other things to consider:
» You may need to add or remove lines to control the positioning.
» You may need to adjust the left margin alignment.
8. Save your changes.
When you run the “Generate Check Payments” process the BI Publisher first looks for the template in the
Custom folder. If it does not find it there, it uses the predefined template location.

Appendix E: Adding a Signature File to the Check Template
Once you have designed your own signature image and saved it as a .gif file, there are two methods for including it
on the check template. See Appendix D for recommended steps for modifying the check template.
» Method 1:
1. Open the copied check template in the Custom folder using Microsoft Word.
2. Paste the signature .gif on the authorized signature line in the template.
3. Save your changes.
» Method 2:
This solution involves updating the signature.gif in a sub-template.
1. Create a new sub-template for the signature .gif file.
2. Change the Check template to call the new sub-template.
3. Save the check template.
NOTE: For further information on creating sub-templates, see Report Designer’s Guide for BI Publisher in
the Oracle Help Center.
Appendix F: Setting up a Regular Earnings Element to Reduce Regular

To create an element under Standard Earnings (primary) > Regular (secondary) that reduces regular:
1. Create your earnings using Standard Earnings primary classification and Regular secondary classification.
2. Change the processing priority of this element to 2100.
3. Complete the element definition, and submit.
4. In the Manage Balance Definitions task:
» For the Reduce Regular Earnings balance, create a new balance feed using your base element name.
Select the Pay Value input value with the Add option.
» For the Reduce Regular Hours balance, create a new balance feed using your base element name. Select
the Hours Worked input value with the Add option.
Ensure you have properly set the effective as-of date.
