Organization Structures
Introduction
Before a customer can hire a UAE worker or run any country-specific process, 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 how to create an implementation project and define enterprise
structures and related objects required for UAE implementations. These structures, which typically
contain country-specific information, must be defined before you can create application users.
Note: For the complete set of setup tasks required for a full implementation, please refer to
the documents listed under Other Information Sources.
Enterprise
The Enterprise classification represents the top structure in the organization that supports partitioning
requirements for Oracle Fusion applications. A person exists within the context of an enterprise. If a
person is associated with two enterprises, the person has two person records.
Since there is no concept of legislation at the enterprise level, no UAE-specific attributes are stored at
this level; these attributes must be stored at the level of other structures such as legal entity.
This document does not describe enterprise setup since this structure is defined at a higher level than
HR and is used across product lines.
Creating an Implementation Project
Setup tasks for organization structures should be defined in an implementation project. Follow these
steps 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:

4
2. Select Setup and Maintenance from the Navigator:
3. On the Implementation Projects tab, click icon:
4. On the Create Implementation Project page, enter the required information and click Next:

5
5. Select Workforce Deployment as the offering, since this parent project contains all the tasks
required to set up HCM organizational structures:
6. Click Save and Open Project.
Verifying Geographies
Geography information is used in Oracle Fusion applications for address entry and geography-based
business processes, such as territory management and shipping. Before defining enterprise structures,
the implementation team must verify predefined geographies and load any additionally required local
geography. There are no predefined geographies for UAE and you must define it.
Follow these steps to setup geographies for the UAE.
1. Select Manage Geographies in the implementation project checklist:

6
2. On the Manage Geographies page, select AE and click Search to create geography setup and
content:
3. Click the green checkmark for each type of geography data you want to verify:
Address Cleansing Defined:

7
Structure Defined: Create a geography type of Emirate
 Hierarchy Defined:
Validation Defined: Attach the UAE geography type to City attribute
4. Verify the information on each page and make necessary changes, then click Save and Close.
Note: Implementation teams can create new geographies by importing data through interface tables.
You can load data into the interface tables using the Oracle Fusion file-based data import process or
the tool of your choice.

8
Defining 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, as shown here:
Legal Jurisdictions
All legal entities must be registered against a jurisdiction that is governed by a legal authority. A legal
jurisdiction is a combination of the legislative category (such as labor law) and the physical territory
(such as a group of countries, a country, a state, or a county) to which legal rules are grounded.
Jurisdictions must be set up before creating registrations, because a jurisdiction is required in the
registration process. A jurisdiction must also have a start date and end date to show when the
jurisdiction is effective and when you can register against it. For UAE, there is a predefined jurisdiction
called United Arab Emirates Social Insurance.
To verify the legal jurisdiction:
1. Select Manage Legal Jurisdictions in the implementation project task list:

9
2. On the Manage Legal Jurisdictions page, search for United Arab Emirates Social Insurance.
3. Ensure that the Identifying field has the value Yes.

10
Note: An identifying jurisdiction is the one that is automatically associated with all legal entities
created for the territory. It represents the jurisdiction that a company has to register with when
first created, such as Chamber of Commerce or Companies House. Registration information for
the identifying jurisdiction is required when creating a Legal Employer.

11
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 UAE. 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 the Create icon.
3. On the Location Create page, enter the address information and click OK:

12
Legal Authorities
Legal authorities are the government entities with which an enterprise interacts, for example to send
legal reports. No legal authorities are predefined for the UAE. You must create a legal authority for
each government entity, such as a local Social Insurance office, that has a relationship with the
enterprise. Later, you register each legal entity you create with a legal authority.
To define legal authorities:
1. Select Manage Legal Authorities in the implementation project task
list:
2. On the Manage Legal Authorities page, click the Create icon.
3. On the Create Legal Authority page:
3.1 Select Tax Authority Type based on the type of interaction. Typically, this is set to
Collecting and reporting.
3.2 Add one or more addresses.
3.3 Add one or more legislative categories. This establishes a link between the legal authority and
all jurisdictions associated with the selected legislative category.
4. Click Save and Close.
Legislative Data Groups
A legislative data group (LDG) defines the payroll and related data partition context for a user,
allowing customers to partition their payroll data. Although an LDG is not an organization, it is
included here for completeness.
You can partition payroll data at any of the following levels that are relevant to an enterprise:

13
 Payroll statutory unit (PSU), where one LDG is required per PSU.
 Country, where one LDG is required per legislation with one or more PSUs.
 Between country and PSU, where a more complex setup is required. For example, partitioning at this
level is appropriate when multiple LDGs are required per legislation with one or more PSUs.
An LDG must be defined in an HR-only implementation if the customer plans to export employee-
level information, such as payment methods or salary, to a third-party payroll system.
If an LDG is associated with a PSU, then whenever a user creates payroll data, the LDG can be
derived from the payroll relationship for the transaction via the PSU association.
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 the Create icon.
3. On the Create Legislative Data Group page, provide the required information and click Submit.
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 (balance sheet, income statement, specified reports) to
company regulators, taxation authorities, and owners according to rules specified in the relevant
legislation.
Legal Employers and Payroll Statutory Units (PSUs): Overview
Oracle Fusion HCM recognizes different types of legal entities:
 A legal employer is a legal entity that employs workers.

14
 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 required 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 not share a PSU.
No legal entities are predefined for the UAE. You must create all legal entities that apply to the
enterprise you are setting up.
Note: Legal Entities for UAE should be marked as both a Legal Employer and a PSU.
Legal Reporting Units and Tax Reporting Units: Overview
A legal reporting unit (LRU) is the lowest level component of a legal structure that requires
registrations. It is used to group workers for the purpose of tax and social insurance reporting or to
represent a part of your enterprise with a specific statutory or tax reporting obligation.
If LRUs are used in Oracle Fusion HCM Payroll for tax reporting purposes, then they are considered
tax reporting units (TRUs). In the Legal Entity Configuration, when you create an LRU that belongs to
a PSU, the application automatically creates a TRU in HCM and associates it with the parent PSU.
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 not relevant for the UAE localization as there is no statutory requirement to report at this
level. The application uses automatically created TRU for internal references.

15
Organization Structure Models Supported by the UAE Localization
The following sections describe how you can set up the organization structure, comprising of
organization units, required to manage the HR processes for the UAE. Each enterprise can combine
these organizational units in a different way 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 UAE localization.
The UAE Localization supports one to one configuration between the Enterprise and PSU with one
legal employer.
Creating Legal Entities
To define legal entities:
1. Select Manage Legal Entities in the implementation project task list:
2. Click the Create icon to display the Create Legal Entity page:
3. Provide the required information, noting the following:
 Legal Entity should always be set as both Payroll Statutory Unit and Legal Employer for UAE.
 The Legal Entity Identifier is an internal code.
 An identifying jurisdiction must have been previously defined.
 You must have previously defined the legal address for the legal entity.

16
 The type of registration information required is based on the Registration Code Assignment
information you defined when you created the selected jurisdiction. In this case, Social
Insurance Number and Legal Reporting Unit Registration Number are required for
registration with the United Arab Emirates Social Insurance jurisdiction.

17
Legal Entity Registrations
Legal entities are connected to legal authorities through legal entity registrations. A registration is
automatically created for the identifying jurisdiction you select when you create a legal entity. If the
legal entity is registered with the United Arab Emirates Social Insurance jurisdiction, it can interact with
social insurance legal authorities. If the legal entity interacts with other legal authorities, you must create
additional registrations as appropriate.
To define a legal entity registration:
1. Set the scope for this task as follows:
1.1. Select Manage Legal Entity Registrations in the implementation project task list:
1.2. On the Scope Selection window, click Select and Add:
1.3. Search for and select the legal entity you just created, and then click Save and Close.
2. Select Manage Legal Entity Registrations in the task list. The Manage Registrations page
displays a list of registrations for this legal entity:

18
Note: A registration was automatically created for the United Arab Emirates Social Insurance
jurisdiction when the legal entity was created, based on the registration details provided.
3. Click the Create icon to add a registration:
4. Enter the required information, noting the following:
 When you select a jurisdiction, the Territory field is populated automatically.
 The Issuing Legal Authority field displays a list of all legal authorities associated with
the selected jurisdiction.
 The Registered Address field displays a list of all predefined legal addresses.
Legal Entity HCM Information for Legal Employers and Payroll Statutory Units
Additional information about legal entities is required for Oracle HCM processes.
To provide HCM information:
1. Set the scope for this task by selecting the legal entity, as you did in Step 1 of the previous task.
2. Select Manage Legal Entity HCM Information in the implementation project task list:
3. If the entity is a legal employer, complete the fields on the Legal Employer and Emirati Legal
Employer Details tab:

19
Note: The Employment Model selection is critical. The UAE localization supports all delivered
employment models. Refer to the section on employment models in chapter Define Enterprise
Structures for Human Capital Management of Oracle Fusion Applications Workforce
Development Implementation Guide
(http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E28271_01/fusionapps.1111/e20380/toc.htm).
Full contract functionality is available only if you select the 2-Tier Single Contract - Single
Assignment Model or a 3-tier employment model.
4. Click the Payroll Statutory Unit tab:
Note: The Fiscal Year Start for a UAE customer should be 1st January of the year the enterprise
is going live on Oracle Fusion HRMS.
5. Click the Emirati Payroll Statutory Unit Detail and enter WPS report details
If data is migrated from a legacy system, these UAE-specific fields must be populated. The
following table shows the attributes of this flexfields for record

This LRU is designated as the main legal reporting unit for the legal entity:
2. To create a second LRU for this legal entity, enter the required information on the Create Legal
Reporting Unit page:
Legal Reporting Unit HCM Information (Release7 and above)

24
Additional information about legal reporting units, referred to as tax reporting units or reporting
establishments in this context, is required for Oracle HCM processes.
1. Set the scope for this task by selecting the parent legal entity and then the legal reporting unit, as
described in previous tasks.
2. Select Manage Legal Reporting Unit HCM Information in the implementation project task
list:
3. Select the check boxes, if this LRU to mark as TRU and Reporting Establishment.
4. Enter details for Reporting Establishment
5. Enter details for TRU

25
Business Units
Oracle Fusion HCM uses the business unit classification to group sets of data that are enabled with the
Set ID functionality. Thus, when you associate a business unit with a default set, this default set is
inherited by every entity connected to the business unit.
No UAE-specific data are required or captured at this level. However, it is required to assign a business
unit to a worker in the new hire process, so business units must be created for the enterprise.
To create a business unit:
1. Select Define Business Units for Human Capital Management in the implementation project
task list:
2. Click the Create icon.
3. On the Create Business Unit page, provide the required information:

26
Note: You must have previously created the location and default set. (Default sets are created
using the Manage Reference Data Sets task. For more information about business units and default
sets, refer to the Oracle Fusion Workforce Deployment Implementation Guide:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E28271_01/fusionapps.1111/e20379/toc.htm).
Workforce Structures
Workforce structure setup should be performed once organization structure setup is complete.
Workforce structures are used to:
 Define additional partitioning of the workers within the organization, including divisions,
departments, 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 UAE. The implementation team is responsible for
defining all the workforce structures that apply to the enterprise for which the setup is being done.
Note that some workforce structures may not apply to every enterprise.
Locations
The first workforce structures to define are the locations where business is conducted or which are of
interest to the business. Locations can store information about the physical location of a workforce
structure and can be assigned to workers in order to define their physical work location.
To create or manage locations:
1. Select Manage Locations in the implementation project task list:

27
3. On the Create Location page, provide the required information and click Submit:
Divisions
A division is a high-level organization that supports functionality for roll-up reporting. Division exists
above a legal entity, but below an enterprise. As there is no concept of legislation at the division level,
no UAE-specific attributes are stored here.
To create divisions:
1. Select Manage Divisions in the implementation project task list:
3. On the Create Division page, enter the required information:

28
Note: In the sample screen above, the division is associated with the previously created location.
4. Click Next to provide additional division details and then review and submit.
Departments
A department is a division of a business enterprise dealing with a particular area or activity. You can
assign workers to departments.
No data is required or captured at this level for the UAE, 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:
3. On the Create Department page, provide the required information:
Note: In the sample screen above, a location has been selected. Every time this department is
connected to another entity, such as a worker, this location is also connected to that entity by
default.
4. Click Next to provide additional department details and then review and submit.

29
Reporting Establishments
A reporting establishment represents an organizational unit used for statutory reporting, other than tax
or social insurance reporting. You can create a new reporting establishment from scratch or you can
select an existing TRU and define it as a reporting establishment. (From Release7 you will no longer be
able to create a reporting establishment from a previously created TRU)
To create reporting establishments:
1. Select Manage Reporting Establishments in the implementation project task list:
3. On the Create Reporting Establishment page, select Create New to create a new reporting
establishment or choose Select an existing organization to define as a Reporting
Establishment if the reporting establishment is an existing TRU. (From Release7 you will no
longer be able to create a reporting establishment from a previously created TRU)
If you choose to select an existing organization, the Search: Organization section is displayed:

30
Select Tax Reporting Unit in the Classification field and click Search. Then click Select
Organization for the TRU you want to work with.
4. In the Reporting Establishment Description section, provide the required information:
5. Click Next to provide additional details and then review and submit.
Roles in Organization
A set of workforce structures, including grades, jobs, and positions, must be defined during
implementation. These structures are used to assign a role to each worker in the organization.
Grades
A grade defines the relative rank, level, or status of a worker. It is one of the key building blocks used
for managing compensation.
To create grades:
1. Select Manage Grades in the implementation project task list:

31
3. On the Create Grade page, provide the required information:
Note: In the sample screen above, this grade is associated with the business unit created earlier.
4. Click Next to define the order of progression between grades:
5. Click Next to define grade rates:

32
Grade rates can be used to define pay values for grades in a legislative data group (country). You
can add a rate that was previously defined or create a new rate:
Jobs
A job defines a set of roles or duties that are linked to a worker. Each enterprise should create the job
codes that are suited for its organization.
To create jobs:
1. Select Manage Job in the implementation project task list:

33
3. On the Create Job page, provide the required information:
Note: In the sample screen above, the selected Job Set is the same as the default set selected for
the business unit. Thus, this job cannot be assigned to workers who belong to a business unit that
is connected to a different job set.
4. Click Next to enter job details:
Note: No UAE-specific data is required in the Job Details page or other setup pages for jobs.

34
Positions
A position is a specific instance of a job in a department or business unit. The use of jobs or jobs and
positions varies by industry and customer requirements.
To create positions:
1. Select Manage Positions in the implementation project task list:
3. On the Create Position page, provide the required information:
Note: In the sample screen above, the position is associated with the previously created business
unit. The business unit you select here determines which jobs, departments, and location values
can be selected on subsequent screens.

35
4. Click Next to provide additional position details:
Note: On this page, you can specify optional attributes, such as Full Time or Part Time, Regular
or Temporary, Entry Grade and Entry Step. You can also add previously defined grades that are
valid for this position. No UAE-specific data is required or captured in the Position Details page
or other setup pages for positions.
Actions Reasons
Action reasons are useful primarily for analysis and reporting purposes. They provide information
about when or why a specific action, such as termination of a worker, can be taken. They can also be
used to trigger a process based on the value of the action reason. For example, a specific termination
reason might trigger the payment of an indemnity. Action reasons are often used in report fields or
selection criteria.
Several action reasons are predefined in the system. Although action reasons are not workforce
structures, the implementation team may want to create additional ones to suit the business needs of
the enterprise.

36
To view and manage action reasons:
1. Select Manage Actions in the implementation project task list:

37
2. On the Manage Actions page, you can search for existing actions and view associated action
reasons. You can also create new actions and action reasons:
The screen below shows the action reasons for the termination action:
3. To create a new action reason for an action, click the Create icon in the Actions Reasons section
and complete the required fields:
The new reason code is available for selection when a user performs the specified action.

38
Managing Workforce Structures
As described in the previous sections, implementers use the setup tasks in FSM to create organization
and workforce structures. Maintenance of such structures can also be done through FSM. For some of
these structures, maintenance tasks are also available in the Workforce Structures work area:

Availability of Functionality Based on Product License
The availability of certain features such as calculation cards and element templates depends on the type
of license you have.
HR-Only: As an HR-only customer, you get access to the basic version of the element templates.
These templates create the element and you need to create the input values, formulas, balances to meet
your business requirements.
Payroll Interface: As a payroll interface customer, you get access to a number of payroll features not
available to an HR-only customer. This includes access to the full earnings element that creates the
element, input values, formulas, balances. These earnings elements can be processed through the
calculation to Gross process which is also available to Payroll Interface customers. Any other type of
element, such as deductions, is created using the basic version of the element templates and you need
to create the input values, formulas, balances.
Additional Information for Payroll Interface
The setup tasks described up to this point in this document are required to manage the HR processes
for an enterprise. If the enterprise also runs the Oracle Fusion HCM (UAE) Payroll, additional
information must be provided to support payroll processes. Setup tasks for Oracle Fusion Payroll are
outside the scope of this guide.
If the enterprise does not implement Oracle Fusion Payroll but extracts data from the Oracle Fusion
application using the Payroll Interface to feed an external payroll system, additional payroll-related data
must be provided to support the Payroll Interface. Detailed documentation for the Payroll Interface
can be found in the Global Payroll Interface Guide (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/fusion-

58
apps/payrollinterfaceguider4-1873384.pdf). The sections that follow describe how to define payroll-
related information to support the Payroll Interface for UAE implementations:

Fusion Payroll for UAE. For example, banking setup may be required for reporting purposes or for
date that is used by other products, such as an expenses module.
To accommodate this scenario, the setup for banks and branches must be done before entering bank
accounts and payment methods for the payee. Additionally, some payroll setup, described later in this
document, may also be required.
No banks or branches are predefined for the UAE. Banks and branches must be defined during
implementation. This can be done manually, by entering the banks and branches in the application, or
it can be done in a mass upload process.

and other parameters for a particular payroll. Payroll period types, such as weekly or monthly,
determine the interval at which you pay employees.

92
Each payroll definition can be associated with only one payroll period type, and you must set up at
least one payroll definition for each payroll period type that you use to pay employees. When you
create a payroll definition, the complete payroll schedule is automatically generated, based on the
selected payroll period type, any offsets or calendar adjustments, and the number of years that you
specify. Once you have saved a payroll definition, you can assign employees to it on the Manage Payroll
Relationships page.
Before you can create a payroll definition, you must have already defined a legislative data group and

Elements and Compensation
Even if elements are normally used in a payroll project only, the implementation team of an HR project
may need to create a regular earnings element and connect it to compensation information, such as
basic salary or other gross compensation elements.
Elements may also be used in the process of calculating gross compensation for the Payroll Interface.
Elements and Element Templates
Elements are created through predefined element templates, which provide the user with an intuitive
user interface and manage the creation of different types of elements and their associated objects. The
template engine 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 UAE. The following UAE templates are used to create
base pay and compensation earnings:
 Standard Earnings
Following secondary classifications are available under this classification:
 Supplemental Earnings
Following secondary classification is available under this classification:

11. Repeat this entire process to create a set of elements to support your business needs.
12. You could as well create Absences elements by selecting Absences primary classification.

103
Element Entries
For earnings to be associated with a person, you must create an element entry for that person and that
element. The following sections show how an element entry is automatically generated by creating a
Salary Basis or a Compensation entry for the payee. Other processes (described in detail in the Oracle
Fusion Global Payroll Guide) can also be used to create element entries for a person.
Salary Basis and Compensation
Once you have created the elements that are meant to hold the payee basic salary and compensation
information, you can perform the setup required to attribute the gross compensation to the payee.
