HRMS Terminology ( Alphabets K ,L , M , N , O)

Key Flexfield

 A flexible data field made up of segments. Each segment has a name you define and a set of

valid values you specify. Used as the key to uniquely identify an entity, such as jobs, positions,

grades, cost codes, and employee groups.

Key Performance Indicator (KPI)

 Target values that you set for the performance of your enterprise. This value comes from the

corresponding KPI Portlet/Report. You can configure the Performance Management Framework

to send a notification when actual performance falls short of, or exceeds, the target value. For

example, you may configure the Performance Management Framework to send you a

notification when workforce variance is greater than 10 percent, or when training success is

below 50 percent.

Key Performance Indicator (KPI) Portlet/Report

 Displays the executive summary of key measures such as total headcount and total salary.

ADI.

 In Australia, an additional percentage amount of the annual leave paid that is paid to the

employee.

Leaver's Statement

 In the UK, this Records detail of Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) paid during a previous employment

(issued as form SSP1L) which is used to calculate a new employee's entitlement to SSP. If a

new employee falls sick, and the last date that SSP was paid for under the previous employment

is less than eight calendar weeks before the first day of the PIW for the current sickness, the

maximum liability for SSP is reduced by the number of weeks of SSP shown on the statement.

Legal Employer

a Group Employer.

enrollability, level of coverage or activity rates conflict with each other.

Life Event Enrollment

 A benefits plan enrollment that is prompted by a life event occurring at any time during the plan

Linked PIWs

 In the UK, these are linked periods of incapacity for work that are treated as one to calculate an

employee's entitlement to Statutory Sick Pay (SSP). A period of incapacity for work (PIW) links

to an earlier PIW if it is separated by less than the linking interval. A linked PIW can be up to

three years long.

Linking Interval

 In the UK, this is the number of days that separate two periods of incapacity for work. If a

period of incapacity for work (PIW) is separated from a previous PIW by less than the linking

interval, they are treated as one PIW according to the legislation for entitlement to Statutory

Sick Pay (SSP). An employee can only receive SSP for the maximum number of weeks defined

in the legislation for one PIW.
