Presented at RECONNECT Envision 2021

Session ID: 101830

Join us for a special RECONNECT edition of your favorite monthly webcast.

The Peoplesoft Payroll for NA SIG is a forum for customers who use Payroll for North America to talk about what we love: regulatory changes that happen at the drop of a hat, reporting to government agencies, employee self-service, and getting people paid!

Join us to meet your fellow Canadian and US payroll customers as we learn from each other.

We will be starting the Focus Group again for this year in February.  Thank you to all those who participated last year. PeopleSoft Focus Group allows our customers a voice on our roadmap, design, and often a preview of enhancements. All you need to participate in a focus is an Oracle Customer Participation Confidentiality Agreement (CPCA) completed. Once you have a CPCA on file with Oracle, your organization may participate in other focus groups.

Oracle provides a community platform for our customers to help each other and express what they would like to happen in our products.  If it has been a while since you have visited, it may be a good time to get reacquainted.

Paid Family and Medical Leave and Program Funding Configuration

In 2002, California became the first state to pass Paid Family Medical Leave legislation; in the resulting years other states followed. Initially, there was only one new state every few years. However, in the last few years, states introduced and passed legislation for Paid Family Medical Leave more frequently.

Making the changes every time to our system was a difficult process for our customers and us. Our team brainstormed, consulted with the PNA focus group, and decided the best long-term approach is to introduce a configurable framework that allows Oracle to build rules for each new state that enacts legislation for Paid Family and Medical Leave and Long-Term Care programs.

The result of that effort is our Program Funding Configuration, which dynamically updates pages based on configuration and calculates the employer and employee portion of the contribution based on rules. PeopleSoft will deliver data scripts to update the tax tables and rules. We no longer need to deliver massive online and batch changes every time a state enacts a new program.
