From a Core HR standpoint, what is the purpose of the ‘person record’ in Oracle Fusion HCM, and what main types of information are typically maintained there throughout the employee lifecycle (e.g., hire to termination)?
Custom Role
General

Sample Answer

I think of the person record in Fusion HCM as the single source of truth for an individual, regardless of their role with the company. It’s created the first time someone shows up in the system—candidate, contingent, or employee—and it persists across rehires and multiple assignments, which is key for clean analytics. Practically, we maintain core biographical data (name, DOB, gender, national IDs), contact info, addresses, and relationships. Then HR‑specific data: employment and assignment details, grades, jobs, managers, work locations, working hours. We also track compensation, documents, qualifications, absence, and legislative info. In my last project we standardized person data across 12 countries and 9 legacy systems. Once we migrated to a single person record per individual, we cut duplicate profiles by 35% and reduced payroll reconciliation issues by about 25% in the first two payroll cycles.
