Salary Basis in Oracle Fusion HCM

In Oracle Fusion HCM, a salary basis is a predefined set of rules and parameters that determine how an employee’s salary is calculated and managed. Salary basis configurations allow organizations to define various components that contribute to an employee’s compensation, such as salary amounts, pay frequencies, and other relevant factors. This enables consistent and accurate calculation of salaries and ensures compliance with company policies and regulations.

Here are some key points to understand about salary basis in Oracle Fusion HCM:

1. Definition and Components: A salary basis typically includes various components, such as base salary, bonus, allowances, deductions, and benefits. These components collectively determine an employee’s total compensation.
2. Pay Frequencies: Salary basis configurations include information about how often employees are paid, whether it’s on a monthly, bi-weekly, or other frequency.
3. Currency and Amounts: The salary basis specifies the currency in which salaries are calculated and provides details about the actual monetary amounts for each component.
4. Grade and Step Structures: In many organizations, salary structures are defined using grade and step levels. Employees are placed within these structures based on their job roles and experience levels.
5. Compensation Plans: Compensation plans allow you to define different salary basis rules for different employee populations. For instance, you might have separate plans for full-time employees, part-time employees, and executives.
6. Eligibility Rules: You can set eligibility criteria for different compensation components. For example, certain bonuses might only apply to employees in specific job roles or departments.
7. Legal and Regulatory Compliance: Salary basis configurations can help ensure that compensation practices adhere to legal and regulatory requirements, such as minimum wage laws and equal pay regulations.
8. Salary Adjustments and Changes: When making changes to an employee’s compensation, such as salary increases or adjustments, the salary basis rules guide the calculations and ensure consistency.

3. Define or Modify Salary Basis: Create new salary basis configurations or modify existing ones to reflect your organization’s compensation structure and policies. Specify the components, pay frequencies, grade and step structures, and other relevant details.
4. Associate with Employees: Assign the appropriate salary basis to employees based on their job roles, positions, or other criteria.
5. Review and Audit: Regularly review the salary basis configurations to ensure they remain accurate and aligned with your organization’s compensation strategy.
