IMPROVED DIRECTORY SEARCH RESULTS
The Directory person keyword search is enhanced by lowering the priority of the areas of expertise, areas of interest, and talent skills relative to the other fields searched in the keyword search so that the best results are sorted to the top of the search results.
When you enter people's names in areas of interest, areas of expertise, or talent skills and search for people in the Directory using a name, the results displayed records where those names matched in the areas of interest, areas of expertise, or talent skills. These person records were listed in the same sort order as other people whose names matched.
For example, if there are two people with the names 'Simpson, Charles' and 'Simpson, Thomas' and no data in the areas of expertise. A third person whose name is 'Adams, Sue', but has entered 'Simpson' in her areas of expertise.
Prior to this enhancement, if a person keyword search was performed with ‘Simpson’, the Directory search results were returned as:
Adams, Sue
Simpson, Charles
Simpson, Thomas
The above results, while were correct, was not expected by most employees. While 'Adams, Sue' should be returned in the search results because her record has 'Simpson' in the areas of expertise, most employees expect her record to be lower in the search results.
With this enhancement, the Directory search results will now be returned as:
Simpson, Charles
Simpson, Thomas
Adams, Sue

RECORD OF EMPLOYMENT LEAVE OF ABSENCE EVENTS
Use event processing to generate a Record of Employment (ROE) when the employee goes on a leave of absence.
A Record of Employment Notification event is created automatically for leave of absences when both of the following occurs:
An absence is created for the employee whereby the element associated with the absence plan is set to automatically generate ROE event notifications.This is done when the absence element template question “Should this element create a ROE event notification?” is set to Yes.The employee is paid within one year of the absence start date.
The Record of Employment Archive processes the ROE events and archives the ROE information for employees whose leave of absence start date is prior to or as of the effective date that the ROE archive is processed.
The statuses of the event notifications are explained below:
Awaiting Processing: A notification is created when the employee logs an absence with a start date prior to processing the ROE archive.Deferred: Status not supported for ROE leave of absence events.
45
Processing: Status not supported for ROE leave of absence events.Complete: The ROE archive was processed successfully for the employee.
You may view event notifications for employees using the Manage Event Notifications task in the Payroll Calculations work area.
Manage Event Notifications
Additional notes regarding the event notification functionality are below.
If an absence is removed and the ROE archive is not processed, the notification record is deleted.If an absence start date of an employee changes and the ROE archive has not been processed for the employee, the process date of the event is updated.However, if the absence start date is changed to a date after the effective date of the ROE archive process, the employee is not included in the ROE archive.
STEPS TO ENABLE
No steps are required to enable this feature.
TIPS AND CONSIDERATIONS
Note the parameters for the Record of Employment Archive process are still in effect while processing event notifications. For example, if an employee with an unprocessed ROE event notification is not part of the Payroll Relationship Group submitted for the parameter of the archive, the employee will not be processed.

EMPLOYEE WELLNESS
Oracle Fusion Employee Wellness supports corporate initiatives to improve employee fitness and health through the use of opt-in wellness features. This application integrates with popular fitness tracking services to simplify and automate the acquisition of exercise data from a wide range of devices.
USER INTERFACE IMPROVEMENTS TO MANAGE ACTIVITY TRACKING SERVICES
We have made user interface improvements to the wellness administration that make it easier than ever to manage activity tracking services. You can now see all connected activity tracking services available to the employees at a glance and enable or disable a service with the click of a button.
Take advantage of the new interface to easily schedule an activity data refresh. The activity data refresh scheduler lets you configure how frequently the activity data is imported from a connected fitness tracking service. This keeps the application up-to-date with most recent data. For instance, you can schedule hourly, daily, or weekly refreshes. The improved interface enables you to quickly view the status of the scheduler, the time of the last and next data refreshes, and the frequency at which you have configured the data refresh.
