What is Human Resources Management?
Any successful enterprise needs to search for new ways to streamline the processes. One of the important aspects for any enterprise is Workforce. This is nothing but the labor force or personnel.
Human Resources Management is used for addressing the employees’ aspect of this continuous improvement. It helps the enterprises in reviewing and improving their business functions related to the personnel management.

Work Structures
Work structures represent the different ways in which employees can work within the enterprise. These are the frameworks for defining the assignments for the employees. These can be also understood as the representation of the units within the enterprise. The Business Group is the largest unit and represents the enterprise as a whole.
Work structures include
internal organizations (e.g. departments, divisions etc.),
payrolls,
jobs,
positions,
grades,
grading structures and the
employee grouping used in the enterprise.
People
People are the nucleus of any enterprise. Oracle HRMS gives the ability to hold information about the current employees, ex-employees, applicants, contacts and contingent workers. Along with the standard information, the system can store the information about the addresses, phones, nationality, qualifications, absence history, interview records etc. Special information can defined to store any other information for the employees. E.g. special information could be languages known or hobbies. Work related information such as preference of working hours (shifts), hours of work could also be maintained.
Assignments
Assignment for an employee is nothing but the employee’s place within the enterprise. The assignment gives information about the organization for which the employee works.
The details about the employee’s location, job, role, position, grade, location, payroll, supervisor, working hours and loads of other information can also be obtained from assignment data. As and when the information about the employee assignment is changed, a work history is automatically built up for the employee.
Assignments are also used to group people for reporting, managing and costing purposes. Compensation, benefits planning and administration could also be done with the help of the assignments.
Date Tracking
Typical data that changes for any enterprise includes corporate restructuring, employee development related changes, departmental changes etc. Using Oracle HRMS, the changes can be effectively managed without the need of redefining of the parts.
These changes could be either Dated or Date Tracked.
Dated
Work Structures related data is dated. Dates can be attached to a work structure to maintain the versions ad the structure changes. The previous structure can be maintained as historical data and a new version can be created with the future dates. In Oracle HRMS, the information related to organizations, jobs, grades, locations is dated. The work structure is active as of a Date From, which is entered while defining it. It remains valid till the Date To. A work structure cannot be assigned to an employee before the Date From or after the Date To.
Date Tracked
The dynamic information related to the employees, employee assignments, compensations and benefits is date tracked. Date tracking is a feature available in HRMS, which is useful in maintaining history of the data when any changes are made. To view the date tracked data from the front end, effective start date needs to be set. The setting of effective date ensures that the data effective only of that date is available for the users to view, change, validate or report. When any changes are done to the data, the user can choose whether the change would be a correction to the last changes or a new update that needs to be recorded in the history. The Set effective date option is available on the screens which deal with the date tracked data. This is discussed in details in the technical section for date tracking.
Organization
Navigation: Work Structures à Organization à Description
Business Group
In Oracle HRMS, the enterprise needs to be represented as an employer. This can be done by creating Business Group. Business Group is the largest organizational unit that is set up. Depending on the need, a single business group or multiple business groups can be set up. The defaults entered for a business group are the information that will generally apply to the people entered for that particular business group. These defaults can be overridden.
While setting up the business group, following information needs to be set up:
Ø Employee Number Generation for Employees and Applicants (Manual/Automatic)
Ø National Identifier Generation only for Employees (Manual/Automatic)
Ø Key flexfield structures that would be used in the business group.
Ø Legislation code and default currency
Government Reporting Entity
This is available for selected legislations e.g. US. One more GREs can be set up within a business group. GRE organization is recognized as an employer by the government.
Representing Organizations
All the levels of an enterprise can be represented using Internal Organizations and External Organizations.
Internal Organizations are the departments, divisions or branches where the employees work.
External Organizations could be the hiring agencies, contractors, training institutes etc.
Location
The locations need to be set up before an organization can be defined. This is the exact location of the organization along with the address and phone number.
Navigation: Work Structures à Location
Organization Classifications
This describes the purpose and use of the organization.
The organization must be classified as an HR Organization to assign employees.

Payroll
Navigation: Payroll à Description
For faster pay processing, a group of employees are sorted using Payroll, whose pay processing can be done with a single frequency. The payroll frequency could be monthly, semi-monthly, weekly, daily etc. An employee is put on a payroll by assigning the payroll to the employee assignment. Payroll data is date tracked. To assign a payroll to an employee assignment, the payroll needs to be effective as of the effective date of the assignment.

Consolidation Set
Navigation: Payroll à Consolidation
A consolidation set must be selected before starting a payroll run. The consolidation set provides essential labeling for each payroll run.
Benefits and Compensation
Compensation and benefits for the employees are the integral part for any enterprise. The compensations and benefits can be setup in Oracle HRMS. All types of compensation and benefits and the rules that determine who will be paid what benefits, when and how often could be set up.
With the date track option available, future dated changes can be done to take care of policy changes. Compensation heads such as earnings, deductions and other items set ups is discussed here. Please, refer the Appendix – A for benefits set ups.
These heads are set up using elements.
Element
Navigation: Total Compensation à Basic à Element Description
This data is date tracked. The effective date for an element could be selected such that any historical entries could be made. Reporting name of the element is the name that appears on the reports. Primary classification states the purpose of the element. E.g. earnings, information, Employer liabilities, voluntary deductions etc.
Type of the element could be recurring (occurring periodically) or nonrecurring (occurring just once). Termination rule would be the rule when the element entries need to be stopped for an employee. Generally, Actual Termination is selected. Multiple Entries Allowed should be checked to receive more than one entry.
INPUT AND Output currencies will be based on the legislation. Additional information is stored in the Further Information field.
Input Value
Navigation: Total Compensation à Basic à Element Description à Input Values
Up to 12 input values can be defined for an element. This data is date tracked. The name should be entered and the units. Units could be Hours, Money etc. To hold the payroll run results, the input value needs to be defined as Pay Value. The element input value could be required or optional. Default, minimum and maximum values could be entered. Minimum and Maximum value will help in validation.
Element Link
Navigation: Total Compensation à Basic à Link
Element links are used to determine which group of people is eligible for which elements.
The element, for which the link has to be created, needs to be selected in the window.

Features
Date Tracking
Functional aspects of date tracking have been explained before.
Date tracking enables to restore history after any changes have been done. Not all data in HRMS is date tracked. Technically, the tables ending with a ‘_f’ store the date tracked information. The primary key for such table comprises of an id field (e.g. person_id in per_all_people_f), effective_start_date and effective_end_date.
A condition needs to be put in every query to check for the effective start date and effective end date in order to fetch a single record.
Different Date track modes while updating the data are as follows:
Consider a small example. An assignment has start date 1-Jan-2001 and no effective end date (End of time 31-Dec-4712). The record is being viewed on 1-Jan-2005 from the application.
Some changes are done to this assignment and these need to be saved. The system gives two options, Correction and Update
Correct
If Correction is selected, the current record with effective start date 1-Jan-2001 is updated with the new changes. i.e. there remains just one record after Correction is done.
Update
If Update is selected, a new record is created from 1-Jan-2005 till 31-Dec-4712 with the latest changes that are done. The existing record is end dated on 31-Dec-2004 and has the previous details. Thus, a history record is created that has the historical data.
If a record is updated on the same day when it was created and Update mode is selected, the mode is automatically changes to Correction.
Future Dated Changes
Consider the above assignment.
There are two records:
Start Date à End Date
1-Jan-2001 à 31-Dec-2004
1-Jan-2005 à 31-Dec-4712
Effective date is set to 1-Jan-2004, displaying the first assignment record. Some changes are done and saved. Now, as of 1-Jan-2004, future dated change exists, which will become effective from 1-Jan-2005.
In such cases the system prompts for two options when the changes are saved:
Insert and Replace.
Insert
This will insert a new record before the next scheduled change. The change in future will be effective as of the start date of the change.
i.e. the new assignment records will be:
Start Date à End Date
1-Jan-2001 à 31-Dec-2003
1-Jan-2004 à 31-Dec-2004
1-Jan-2005 à 31-Dec-4712
Replace
This option will replace the next future change with the current change. The future change will not exist anymore.
i.e. the new assignment records will be:
Start Date à End Date
1-Jan-2001 à 31-Dec-2003
1-Jan-2004 à 31-Dec-4712
Date Track Delete
When any date tracked data needs to be deleted, following options are available:
End Date
The record will be end dated and will not be visible on the screen after the end date.
Purge
The record will be totally removed from the database
In case of future dated records existing, following options are available:
All
All future updates are removed.
Next
Next applicable change is deleted. End date of the current record is set to the end date of the next change.
APIs
Application Programmatic Interface. API is nothing but a logical grouping of PL/SQL packaged procedures and functions, which acts as an interface to the database.
APIs are used extensively in Oracle HRMS. For every insert/update or delete to any of the base tables, an API is available.
APIs are primarily used to validate the data being inserted into the base tables and also for inserting or updating the data on deleting the data from the base tables.
Object Version Number
In Oracle HRMS, every row in the database table has an object version number. When a new row is created, the object version number for the row is 1. When the row is changed, the object version number is incremented by one. When a user queries a record, the object version number is also fetched along with the other information.
Consider, two users A and B query the same record having Object Version Number 1 simultaneously. If user A makes changes to the records and saves the changes, the current object version number (in this case 1) is compared with the object version number of the record in the database (in this case 1). Since, these values are same, the changes are valid and so the changes are saved and the object version number of the record is incremented by 1. It will become 2.
If user B also does changes and tries to save them, the object version number in the database is 2 against the object version number of the record sent to client (in this case 1). Since, the object version numbers are different, it is evident that the record is already changed by another user and so the changes done by user B are not valid as they may override changes done by user A.
The user B will get an error message:”Record has been modified by another user”. He/she will have to re-query the record to do the changes.
This is one of the important parameters for an API.
Parameters
Every API has a number of parameters. Not all parameters are mandatory. Generally, the optional parameters are followed by a default value, e.g. p_email_address in varchar2 default null.
Control Parameters
Control parameters are the mandatory parameters common across all the APIs.
p_object_version_number
This is one of the control parameters. For insert APIs, p_object_version_number is an OUT parameter. For update APIs, p_object_version_number is an IN OUT parameter.
p_validate
This is an IN parameter. The parameter decides that the record needs to be saved to the database or not Default value for p_validate is FALSE. If TRUE value is passed, the data is only validated and not saved to the database.
Note: Commit needs to be written in the code explicitly in order to save the changes done by APIs to the database.
p_effective_date
APIs that are used to insert/update/delete the date tracked data have this control parameter. This is a mandatory IN parameter that defines the date from which the current change needs to be applied.
p_datetrack_update_mode
APIs used to update the date tracked data have this control parameter. Valid values for this parameter are: UPDATE, CORRECTION, UPDATE_OVERRIDE and UPDATE_CHANGE_INSERT
p_datetrack_delete_mode
APIs used to delete date track data have this control parameter. Valid values for this parameter are: ZAP, DELETE, FUTURE_CHANGE, and DELETE_NEXT_CHANGE

SIT
SIT stands for Special Information Types.
This is nothing but the Personal Analysis Key Flexfield. This can be used to define any special information that cannot be stored with the help of the main system. Any number of instances can be defined of the Personal Analysis KFF. Each instance is knows as Special Information Type. Each SIT can have up to thirty fields. Each field is a segment of the KFF.
When a new segment combinations is created, the system will first check to see whether that combination already exists in the table before creating a row. If the combination does exist, the system only retrieves the ID of the row it found. The system therefore has to scan through the whole SIT combinations table.
SITs are primarily attached to people. They can also be used with Jobs, Positions, and Activities (in OTA), but with skill meaning (competencies).
EIT
EIT stands for Extra Information Types.
EITs are a type of Descriptive Flexfield. When a new segment combinations is created, the row is just inserted into the appropriate table (without checking whether the combination already exists). There is now full scan of the underlying table and so performance shouldn't be affected by the size of the table.
EIT's can be attached to People, Assignment, Job, Position, Location and Organization.
Appendix – A
Oracle Advanced Benefits
The compensation management using Oracle HRMS is explained in the earlier part of the document. In addition to the compensation and benefit functionality, Oracle offers Oracle Advanced Benefits module.
In an enterprise every employee is eligible for certain benefits. These benefits could be Dental insurance, Medical insurance, Life Insurance, Pension Plans and various other benefits. Certain benefits are provided by the employer and for certain benefits the employee needs to contribute. This entire advanced benefits administration can be handled effectively with the use of OAB.
The OAB structure contains of benefits programs, plans, plan types, options, enrollments, enrollment rates and beneficiaries.
E.g. a program could be a Retiree Program. Only, retired people (Ex-employees) could be enrolled under this program.
Plans are the benefits plans which are available under a program.
A person enrolled under the retiree program will be eligible for the plans which are in the program.
Plan types are medical, dental, vision, spouse life, dependent life, 401K etc.
Options available for the employees to choose from could be Employee Only, Employee plus family, Employee plus Spouse, Employee plus dependents etc. The contacts entered for an employee play an important roles when it comes to opting for options such as employee plus family. The dependents eligible for benefits are termed as covered dependents or beneficiaries.
With the help of eligibility criteria set up in the system, the system determines which employee becomes eligible under which benefit program. Life events are set up in the system which helps the employee to opt for enrollment changes. e.g. a single employee when married can opt for employee plus spouse benefits.
The rates are defined in the system, which are linked with the programs, plans and options chosen by the employee.
Appendix – B
SSHR
SSHR stands for self service human resources. The module provides self service management for both the managers as well as employees.
This is a web based module. With the help of intranet and a web browser the employees and their managers can access personal data and career management functionality.
SSHR uses Oracle Workflow extensively. Workflow helps in managing the information flow between the employees and the management. Decision making can be routed through proper channels with the usage of Workflow.
Following are some of the functionalities available with SSHR:
Ø Matching a person to a job or position by competence and planning succession.
Ø Candidate offers enables you to perform web–based recruitment.
Ø Access/Modify personal data
