Oracle Fusion Cloud Global Payroll 25C introduces significant enhancements to payroll
processing, compliance, and user interface, with a strong focus on the Redwood Experience.
Redwood is Oracle’s modern design system, providing a consistent, intuitive, and consumer-
grade user interface across Oracle Cloud applications. In Global Payroll, Redwood Pages
represent a shift from legacy responsive designs to more dynamic, accessible, and efficient
interfaces, enabling better navigation, personalization, and integration with AI-driven features.
Key Features of Redwood Pages in Global Payroll 25C
Redwood Pages in this release are enabled by default for several core payroll areas, controlled
by profile options like ORA_PAY_PAYROLL_ACTIVITY_REDWOOD_ENABLED. Notable updates
include:
Process Summary Page: A centralized, high-level dashboard for monitoring all payroll
flows. It offers robust filtering (by date, task, status, or activity), status tracking, and
direct actions like retry, rollback, or reversal. Users can drill down to detailed results,
reducing the need to switch between multiple screens.
Payroll Activity Center and Checklist: Fully redesigned in Redwood for streamlined
workflow management, with intuitive cards and quick actions for absence processing,
statutory updates, and error resolution.
Security Profile Pages: New Redwood interfaces for managing payroll and flow security,
allowing IT admins to restrict access, review, create, or update profiles with visual filters
and easy row-level edits (e.g., by legislative data group).
Statutory Updates Management Page: Dedicated Redwood view for handling global
compliance updates, with opt-in/out options, instant execution, and tracking of
deferred items by year, country, or type.
Other Specialized Pages: Enhancements in personal payment methods (tracking
approvals and attachments), costing by location, and integration with OTBI analytics for
embedded dashboards.
These pages support extensibility via Visual Builder Studio, allowing customizations like
business rules for data validation and defaults.
Importance of Redwood Pages in Global Payroll 25C
The integration of Redwood Pages in Oracle Fusion Cloud Global Payroll 25C is transformative
for organizations managing multinational payrolls, where accuracy, speed, and compliance are
paramount. Here’s why they matter:
Enhanced User Experience and Productivity:
Redwood’s modern, responsive design reduces cognitive load with clean layouts, contextual
headers (displaying up to four person-specific attributes like job title or person number), and
consistent navigation across HCM modules. This minimizes training time and errors, especially
for global teams handling diverse legislative requirements.
Features like quick actions, drill-downs, and AI-assisted elements (e.g., message assist in related
recruiting flows) streamline tasks, potentially cutting payroll processing time by 20-30% based
on Oracle’s efficiency benchmarks.
Improved Compliance and Risk Management:
For global payroll, where regulations vary by country (e.g., tax credits for overseas workers or
PHI deductions), Redwood Pages provide transparent tracking of statutory updates and security
profiles. This ensures audit-ready compliance, with built-in safeguards like approval workflows
for bank accounts and error retries.
The ability to opt in/out of updates and filter by locale strengthens adherence to evolving laws,
reducing non-compliance risks in multi-jurisdictional environments.
Greater Efficiency and Scalability:
Centralized views (e.g., Process Summary) eliminate fragmented monitoring, enabling faster
issue resolution and rollback of erroneous runs. This is critical for high-volume global payrolls,
where delays can impact thousands of employees.
Integration with analytics and REST APIs (e.g., optimized absence balance queries) supports
data-driven decisions, while phased enablement (via profile options) allows organizations to
adopt gradually without disrupting operations.
Strategic Business Value:
As Oracle prioritizes Redwood for all new developments, adopting these pages future-proofs
investments in Fusion Cloud. Organizations gain a unified UX that boosts employee satisfaction
(e.g., self-service payslips) and HR agility, aligning with digital transformation goals.
In a post-25C landscape, non-Redwood pages may lag in features like dynamic skills or AI
agents, making early adoption essential for a competitive edge in talent and financial
management.
