Oracle Fusion

This communication is for all council employees and aims to set out why we are moving to Oracle Fusion and what this means for you. It summarises the HR related self-service activities and new functionality that will be available to you in the spring of 2024 when Oracle Fusion is launched.

Modernising our finance and human resources system

Effective systems play a critical role in South Lanarkshire Council, helping everyone to get things right, first time. The Oracle Fusion system which many of us will use daily is part of that journey. We want to give managers and employees access to the latest technology that helps everyone deliver effectively for South Lanarkshire. So, 2024 is the time to update the current system and adopt the latest cloud technology.

Oracle Fusion will offer a modern system with improved access for all employees. It offers a completely different experience from People Connect. Employee Self-Service is designed to help you carry out day-to-day activities such as requesting annual leave, viewing your payslip, claiming expenses and overtime and submitting other requests such as for flexible working, career breaks, maternity and paternity leave. 

Key changes for employees

Oracle Fusion allows you to submit many of the same requests or actions that you perform through People Connect Employee now, however self-service has been expanded. This means that some new features will be available allowing you to complete even more activities using Employee Self Service. In addition, the system will also look and feel more modern.
