Optimizing Contract Renewals with
Oracle Service Contracts
Oracle Individual Compensation Distribution (ICD) provides managers with ability to assign one-time or recurring awards, bonuses, and allowances using SSHR. The setup of
ICD uses elements, which allow distribution through payroll, and the use of FastFormulas for calculations for maximum distribution amounts and/or commission calculations.
Security features ensure managers can distribute only to persons within their security profile and/or eligibility profiles. Company branding is done through personalization.
Finally, as a standard feature of Oracle Self Service HR, ICD is fully compliant with SOX for workflow approval processes.
Using ICD you can give managers the ability to assign one-time or recurring awards such as Periodic or Spot Bonuses, Commissions, Stock option grants, Service Awards,
Sponsored allowances, Resettlement compensation and Severance Payments. Examples of other periodic or recurring awards include allowances for special training or a
reward for patent filings.

As with other forms of plan design within Oracle HRMS, you must take into account the end results required while planning your ICD setups. Some of the common questions
you should be asking yourself are listed below.
Planning your Compensation
Local or Global in design?
Is the award localized to a country or business unit or available to everyone in the organization.
Who is eligible? (Eligibility Criteria)
An eligibility criterion helps managers from making costly mistakes in awards by filtering their options in SSHR forms.
What is the periods/frequency for each?
Monetary awards are often driven by payroll periods. Other awards may be continuously recurring or happen once in an employee’s employment.
What currency, functional or local?
Type of reward and other business factors will determine what to use but general rule of thumb is to use local currency for any monetary awards.
What are the limits, minimum/maximums?
Planning for limits, minimums and maximums will improve manager data entry validation and reduce errors.

with Oracle Self Service HR v. R12
Differences in Oracle R12 version also may dictate how you design your ICD plans. For example in version 12.0.x compensation types are show as radio buttons which
should deter you from creating multiple variations of the same type of award. See figure #1.
Figure 1 ‐ R12.0.x Select Compensation Type
R12 Version Differences:
What are the approvals required? Is there a single rule or one for each type of ICD award? Remember that routing outside of an employee’s managerial hierarchy requires using advanced tools such
as AME.

In version R12.1.x and later, the selection of compensation type has been changed to dropdown lists making more sophisticated plan designs possible. A single
compensation type may now have multiple options. The manager’s self-service experience and navigation is also improved.

Some of the challenges you’ll face when setting up ICD plans:
Defining Approval Rules for each Plan
Managing unrestricted Life Events
No out of box reports
Procedure for closing unrestricted Life Events in different environments (with standard benefits, with Advanced Benefits, without either).
Managing unrestricted Life Events – recurring elements will have unrestricted life events in started status and these can cause issues with CWB and OAB open cycles
and plan upgrades and personalization's.
