In the Oracle Cloud HCM two-tier employment model, the Payroll Relationship is the primary object for payroll processing. It groups all of a person's assignments under a single Payroll Statutory Unit (PSU) for aggregation and statutory reporting. The payroll run processes element entries, which are typically held at the Assignment level. Consequently, the detailed run results are captured at the Assignment level, while aggregated balances and statutory information are maintained at the Payroll Relationship level. Therefore, payroll results are captured at both the Payroll Relationship and Assignment levels to provide both granular detail and consolidated totals.

A. Work Relationship is a broader HR concept representing employment with a legal employer; payroll results are captured at the more specific Payroll Relationship and Assignment levels.

B. Capturing results only at the Assignment level would neglect the necessary aggregation for statutory reporting, which is the primary function of the Payroll Relationship.

D. Capturing results only at the Payroll Relationship level would lose the granular detail of earnings and deductions tied to specific assignments.
