3.1.1.1. Enforce Minimum Coverage for Life Events with No Electable Choices
Situations occur in which due either to data issues or to configuration issues, where a
participant is found ineligible for something in which they are currently enrolled. The
participant loses coverage and is not allowed to make elections for the event.
To detect and handle these cases, the application is enhanced to perform the following:
• Identify whether the minimum enrollment for the Plan Type in Program should
be checked for a business group when an event is processed and the person
cannot make elections.
• When an event is processed that does not allow the person to make elections,
check whether the person has lost coverage.
• If the person lost coverage and is still eligible for the Plan Type in Program that
they were enrolled in, check whether a person still meets the Plan Type in
Program minimum limitation requirements.
• Generate an error if the requirements are not met so that the person does not lose
coverage and the eligibility issues can be resolved.

updates. This allows managers to perform up-front budgeting and to allocate

3.3.1.3. Display the Worksheet Manager in the Switch To Manager Search Page
Prior to this release, the search results on the Switch To Manager page only provided the
employee’s supervisor. However, when an employee has been reassigned from one
manager's compensation worksheet to another, the worksheet manager becomes different
from their supervisor thus making it difficult for managers to search and identify the
employee’s actual worksheet manager.
With this release, managers and administrators now see the employee’s worksheet
manager and supervisor in the Switch To Manager search results within the compensation
worksheet. This makes it easier to correctly identify the worksheet manager to whom
they need to switch.

3.5.1.2. HR Help Desk
An HR help desk application is for the Request-to-Resolve process wherein an HR help
desk agent receives HR-related requests from employees. The HR help desk agent
requires the ability to navigate to multiple HR application functions to resolve the
requests. Oracle Human Capital Management provides web services to integrate with
Oracle’s PeopleSoft Enterprise HelpDesk for Human Resources.
While launching Oracle E-Business Suite pages, the E-Business Suite system evaluates
the user’s security profile to identify security privileges and then passes on parameters
that help the agent to perform the transaction.
To enable the HR help agent to use the help desk functionality, a system administrator
must complete the following:
• Configure the predefined web services in the calling application’s application
classes to store the data from Oracle E-Business Suite and to display employee
data in the 3600 View page.
• Configure the RIR messages to subscribe to the web services published from the
PeopleSoft application.
The help desk agent can view or perform transactions related to personal, assignment,
benefits, and payroll details. The HR help desk feature supports UK and US legislation.

3.5.6.2. Allocate Checklists and Tasks Process to Skip Errors
The “Allocated Checklists and Task Process” concurrent program is a process to identify
any checklist life events that have not yet been processed. For each life event, the process
allocates the checklist to the person and builds the list of checklist tasks based on the
eligibility profiles. Currently, this concurrent program retrieves all the identified events at
the Pending status and processes them one by one. However, if the processing encounters
an error, it stops further execution without processing the rest of the events. In this
release, ability is provided to process further without stopping if an error occurs and
proceed to identify other errors if any. In such cases, the concurrent program ends with a
warning status.

3.9.6.1. Update TFN from 111 111 111 for New Hires After 28 days
According to the Australia Tax Office, if a new employee has not made a TFN
declaration, then the TFN of the employee is temporarily set to 111 111 111.
After 28 days, if the employee has still not made a declaration, the TFN must be set back
to 000 000 000. With this release, the application notifies the payroll manager to change
the TFN manually for those assignments that have a TFN of 111 111 111 at 28 days after
hire.
This feature is forward-ported to R12.2 HRMS RUP6.

death is processed using Direct Payments. The application also ensures that earnings after
death are not taxed and are not reported on the Payment Summary.
This feature is forward-ported to R12.2 HRMS RUP6.

Now the Payroll Analysis tabbed region is enabled for the Australia localization and can
be used to compare the amounts processed against each classification, or element, or
balance between a chosen current and previous payroll periods.
Oracle HRMS (Australia) enables the support for Single Touch Payroll (STP) to report
year-to-date figures on a pay by pay basis rather than one report at the end of the year.
The payroll data is archived to produce the XML file to send to the ATO. STP
information and the intermediary information for the authorized agent are recorded at the
legal entity level. Employers need to set up an authorized user and the sending service
provider or the third party to create and submit the report. The STP report includes all the
YTD information, the superannuation amount, W1, W2, and any changes to the TFN of
the employees.
The employees who are exempted from being reported in the STP are recorded using the
extra assignment type Single Touch Payroll Extra Information type. These employees
will not be archived during the STP Archive process but will be listed as exceptions in
the Exception Report.
The STP processing includes running the archive process and the STP report. Users can
run multiple archives for the same or different set of employees and can combine to
submit one file on a particular date. If a file has been corrupted before sending to the
ATO, then users can regenerate the file using the Full File Replacement option while
running the report. Users can also produce an exception and a validation report to view
the information that has been archived and reconciled.

3.12.1.4. View Absence Statistics Report
To meet the legislative requirements of the Statistics Denmark, Oracle Payroll for
Denmark provides the Absence Statistic Report with R12.1.2. This report is based on
reported absence periods in Oracle HRMS. This report is an electronic file that provides
various absence types of employees. To run this report, users must map their absence
types to the respective absence codes using the new flexfield provided in the Absence
Types window.
If the employer belongs to the Danish Employer Organization (DA) and they have a
collective agreement that indicates that they will use holiday cards for reporting the
holiday information, they must now report the data using the XML report as specified by
the DA. The DA operated a paper-based holiday card system until 2011. This system has
now been replaced by an electronic holiday card system.
All employers who use holiday cards currently are required to submit the data
electronically to the DA using the new XML format to the Electronic holiday card
system.
The holiday bank transfer system is not affected by this change, and employers who do
not belong to the DA will continue to send the employee information via PBS to the
holiday bank. The new holiday card system only affects employers who choose to use
holiday cards.
An employer cannot use holiday bank transfer if they have indicated their use of the
holiday card system, as they can only use the electronic holiday card extract. This enables
them to create the XML file for submission to the electronic holiday card system.
Customers using the holiday card currently as a manual paper based system will need to
switch to the new electronic holiday card system. They will also need to upload the data
file received from the electronic holiday card to the Oracle Payroll application. This in
turn will generate a holiday pay payment to the employee who has requested the holiday.
The process that uploads the received electronic holiday card XML file is run and
controlled by the payroll administrator. This process must be run before the payroll
process in order for the holiday pay to be paid.

• Fewer dependencies—only the changed entities are re-extracted and delivered
• Faster release of patches
• Fewer regressions
• Less testing impact—test only the changed entities
• Easier debugging of hrglobal issues through the use of FNDLOAD commands to

W-2 form mailed to their mailing address (or other type of address) instead of their
primary resident address. This can be useful if the employee has their mail delivered to a
post office box instead of their physical home address.

drop-down list of values. This is useful for controlling how many years' worth of W-2
forms employees are permitted to view online.

and/or 1099-R forms in Self-Service with one click of a button. They can perform a date
range search for a particular payslip and then select it from the drop-down list of values.
When viewing their W-2 or 1099-R forms, they will also see a bar graph comparing key
data from the current and past year. When viewing their payslips, they will also see
piecharts comparing key current and year-to-date percentages of gross income such as net
pay and tax deductions.

3.34.1.7. Learner Basic Search Enhancements
The current search functionality only searches in the title and not in the keywords or
description of a course. This new search feature will search for other metadata available
in the catalog objects.
Secure Enterprise Search (SES) provides this search functionality in Oracle Learning
Management. The search object Course is available in the drop-down list in the Learner
Home page. If the learner selects Course and enters any search keyword, the following
will be searched for:
• Course name
• Course code
• Course description
• Course objectives
• Course keywords
From the search results, learners can navigate to the course details page and enroll, un-
enroll, or play the content. Once the learner has enrolled, un-enrolled, or played the
content, the system returns to the Learner Home page.

3.34.2.3. Enhanced Learning Path Functionality
With the new enhanced Learning Path functionality, administrators can now
automatically enroll learners in classes when they are subscribed to a learning path.
Learners will automatically be un-enrolled when they unsubscribe from a learning path.
This new functionality is designed for induction and training programs, where many
learners are expected to go through the same training program with a number of classes
to attend. With the automatic enrollments in classes for a learning path the individual
learners are ready to start their training as soon as they log in to OLM, instead of first
having to search for, and enroll in, classes for each course in the learning path.
o The first column shows the number of available seats in the class, so the
administrator does not have to open the class page to see this.
o The second column contains a Mail icon, whereby administrators can
send a mail to all learners enrolled in a class.
o The third column contains a Bulk Enroll icon that administrators can use
to directly navigate to the Bulk Enroll page without having to navigate
through several pages.
o The Last column contains a Single Enroll icon that brings administrators
directly to the Single Enroll page in one click.
• Eliminated the second search for class in the Enrollment and Subscription
workflow (for administrators). On the Enrollment and Subscriptions subtab,
when administrators click Add Enrollments, the search result from the first page
is carried over to the next page so that administrators don’t need to perform the
same search twice.

3.34.6.2. Integration with Oracle WebCenter Content
Oracle WebCenter Content (OWCC) is Oracle’s best-in-class Content Management
System. OWCC is now integrated with OLM. With this integration, OLM offers a full
featured, best-in-class Learning Content Management System in which all types of
content used by OLM can be managed and stored.

• Configure OLM content server on OWCC
• Import SCORM (1.2 and 2004) and AICC compliant content directly to the OLM
content server
• Associate a file on OWCC with a Content Object in OLM
• Upload a file to the OLM content server
With the OWCC integration, the following functionality is now available on an OLM
content server:
• Version control
• Security
• Indexing and search
• Metadata
• Workflow engine
• Replication
• FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance on the content server side (and existing
compliance on the LMS side)
The use of OWCC in OLM is not covered by the OLM license, but requires a separate
OWCC license.

It is now possible for the administrator to restrict the use of e-learning when taking and
renewing a certification.
This makes it possible for organizations to put a limit on how many consecutive
completions and renewals of a certification can be done using e-learning.
As an example the program can be set up so the learner have to use ILT every second
time the learner renews a certification.

process. Consider your legal compliance requirements and your organization’s data
retention policies and business processes. For more guidance about removal of person
data throughout your enterprise, see the My Oracle Support Knowledge Document

managers do not have to verify the validity of the absence type of employee requests.
When a self-service transaction is submitted that uses the AME rule with the First
Responder Wins voting method, the application sends the approval request to all
members of the approval group. It allows any member of the approval group to approve,
reject, or return the transaction for correction to the transaction initiator. It displays an
Action History region in the approval notification of the transaction to enable all
members of the approval group to know the latest status of the transaction. The Action
History region displays the name of the approver, the date on which a member of the
approval group acted on the transaction, and any comments that have been made. The
changes made by the transaction initiator are updated in the database when any member
of the approval group approves the transaction.
