Oracle Fusion HCM Groups

In Oracle Fusion HCM (Human Capital Management), groups are used to categorize and manage sets of related data or individuals. Groups serve as a way to organize and simplify the administration and security of HCM data and processes. There are various types of groups in Oracle Fusion HCM, and each serves a specific purpose. Here are some common types of groups in Oracle Fusion HCM:

1. Security Groups: Security groups are used to manage data access and security within Oracle Fusion HCM. They determine which users have access to specific data or processes. For example, you can create security groups to restrict access to sensitive employee information or payroll data.
2. Payroll Groups: Payroll groups are used to organize payroll-related data. You can use payroll groups to group employees based on various criteria, such as location, department, or job. This helps in processing payroll efficiently for specific groups of employees.
3. Legislative Data Groups (LDGs): Legislative Data Groups are used to manage payroll and related data for different legal entities or legislative jurisdictions. Organizations with operations in multiple countries often use LDGs to ensure compliance with local payroll regulations and tax laws.
4. Grade and Step Progression Groups: These groups are used to manage grade and step progression rules for compensation. They define the progression of employees through grades and steps based on performance or other criteria.
5. Worker Assignment Sets: Worker assignment sets are used to group employees based on specific criteria, such as job, location, or assignment attributes. These sets are often used in reports and processes to target specific groups of workers.
6. Document Type Groups: Document type groups are used to categorize and manage different types of documents within Oracle Fusion HCM. This helps in organizing and classifying various HR-related documents, such as resumes, certificates, and performance appraisals.
7. Eligibility Groups: Eligibility groups are used to determine eligibility criteria for benefits, compensation plans, or other HR programs. They help in managing the rules that define which employees are eligible for specific benefits or compensation packages.
8. User Groups: User groups are used to group users based on specific criteria, such as roles, responsibilities, or job functions. This facilitates the assignment of roles and responsibilities to users and streamlines security management.

These are just a few examples of the types of groups that can be created and managed within Oracle Fusion HCM. The use of groups enhances the flexibility, efficiency, and security of managing HR data and processes in the system. Organizations can customize and configure groups based on their specific requirements and business needs.
