In Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, employment models define how work relationships, assignments, and contracts are structured for employees to meet organizational and regulatory requirements. The scenario indicates that the customer operates in a country requiring contract information for employees, implying that the system must support the tracking of employment contracts. Oracle provides several employment models, including Single Assignment, Single Assignment with Contract, Multiple Assignments, and Multiple Contract - Single Assignment, among others. The task is to identify which two models explicitly support contract information.
Option A: Contract assignmentThere is no employment model in Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud explicitly named Contract assignment. Oracle documentation defines employment models such as Single Assignment, Single Assignment with Contract, and Multiple Contract - Single Assignment, but Contract assignment is not a recognized term or model. It may be confused with contract-related configurations, but it does not exist as a distinct model. Therefore, this option is incorrect.
Option B: Single assignment with contractsThis is a valid employment model and a correct answer. The Single Assignment with Contract model is designed for scenarios where an employee has one work relationship, one assignment, and one or more employment contracts associated with that assignment. This model supports countries that mandate contract information, such as start and end dates, contract types (e.g., fixed-term or permanent), and other contractual terms. The model allows the enterprise to track contract details in the Employment Terms section, ensuring compliance with local regulations. For example, an employee might have a single assignment as a "Consultant" with multiple fixed-term contracts linked to it, each with distinct terms. This model is ideal for the customer’s requirement to track contract information.
Option C: Multiple assignmentsThe Multiple Assignments model allows an employee to have one work relationship with multiple assignments, each representing different roles or jobs within the organization (e.g., an employee working as both a "Teacher" and an "Administrator"). While this model supports flexibility in managing multiple roles, Oracle documentation does not indicate that it inherently includes contract information as a mandatory component. Contracts can be associated with assignments in other models (e.g., Single Assignment with Contract), but the Multiple Assignments model focuses on assignment multiplicity rather than contract tracking. Since the customer’s requirement emphasizes contract information, this model is not the best fit and is incorrect.
Option D: Multiple contract - Single assignmentThis is a valid employment model and a correct answer. The Multiple Contract - Single Assignment model is specifically designed for scenarios where an employee has one work relationship, one assignment, and multiple contracts linked to that assignment, with each contract potentially having different terms or conditions. This model is used in countries where regulatory requirements mandate tracking multiple contracts for a single role, such as in cases of temporary or project-based contracts. For example, an employee in a single assignment as a "Developer" might have multiple contracts for different projects, each with unique durations or clauses. This model directly supports the customer’s need to track contract information and is appropriate for the scenario.
Why these two models?Both Single Assignment with Contract and Multiple Contract - Single Assignment explicitly support the tracking of contract information, which is the core requirement of the scenario. The Single Assignment with Contract model is suitable when an employee typically has one primary contract (or a sequence of contracts) tied to their assignment, while the Multiple Contract - Single Assignment model is used when multiple concurrent or sequential contracts are needed for regulatory compliance. These models allow the customer to capture contract details like type, duration, and terms, ensuring adherence to local laws. The other options (Contract assignment and Multiple Assignments) do not align with Oracle’s predefined models or the requirement for contract information.
