Comprehensive Payroll Reporting with SplashBI for Fusion HCM
Introduction
In Oracle Fusion HCM, Payroll definitions include calendar and offset details that determine when payments are calculated and costed. These definitions enable you to set the payment frequency, processing schedule and other key parameters for a specific payroll. Payroll period types, such as monthly, weekly, bi-weekly or semi-monthly, define how often employees receive their payments.
The Employee Withholding Certificate serves as the default tax card. For most employees, this is automatically created during the New Hire process and contains the necessary tax information. It specifies details such as filing status, number of allowances and tax exemptions. If no information is provided, a default filing status of “Single” and zero allowances will be used for tax calculations.
In Oracle Fusion HCM, a payroll balance refers to accumulating values over a defined period. A payroll balance consists of three key components: the name, the balance feeds that contribute to it, and the dimensions that define its unique characteristics.
SplashBI Fusion HCM Payroll Reports offers a robust suite of over 70 real-time Payroll reports designed to cover all aspects of an Organization’s Payroll needs.
These reports integrate seamlessly with Oracle Fusion by adopting its role-based security model and ensuring that the data remains secure and consistent with your existing Oracle Fusion setup.
The comprehensive nature of these reports means they touch on every corner of Oracle Fusion HCM Payroll subject areas/functionalities, providing deep insights and extending the capabilities of your payroll operations. They are designed to transform and enhance your Fusion HCM implementations, offering a powerful toolset for managing and analysing workforce data more effectively.

In addition to reporting, the panelists stressed the importance of holistic benefits as a key to closing the pay gap. From offer negotiation to pension and medical benefits, the gap tends to get wider over time, especially when women may take career breaks to care for children.
On average, women work 19 years longer than men to earn the same pension.
”On average in the UK, men have around £205,000 saved in their pension, and women have £69,000. We tend to accept the gender pay gap as just there.
- Erin Simmons
A recommendation discussed as a remedy to this problem was continuing pension contributions during maternity leave. Many women fall behind in retirement savings due to career breaks, and this gap widens over time. Victoria Collier highlighted the urgency of such policies, saying, “If we could change maternity and paternity laws so that when parents take maternity or paternity, their pension contributions continue to get paid, I think that would be a real good step forward.”
The role of legislation in driving change was an important theme during the discussion. The panelists discussed that countries like the U.K. and those in the European Union have taken the lead in mandating pay transparency and reporting requirements, but the U.S. still lags behind. They agreed that there remains a gulf between reporting and enforcement, with regulatory compliance currently viewed as an additional administrative task rather than an exercise with meaningful outcomes.
