Create Marital Statuses

In HR Admin > Marital Status, you can define the marital statuses that are available to assign to employees and dependents of employees.

To create a marital status:

1. Go to HR Admin > Marital Status and click Add.
2. Enter a name and description.
3. Enter a value in the Reference Code field. Reference codes are used to export data to other applications. These codes must be unique and must not contain special characters.
4. In the Country selection list, select one or more countries that the marital status is available for. If you leave this drop-down list cleared, it’s available regardless of country.
5. This functionality is enforced in the Marital Status drop-down list, which is shown in the following areas:
   • The Personal > Confidential Information screen of People.
   • The Confidential Information tab in the Personal > Dependents and Beneficiaries screen of People. Depending on your configuration, the Dependents and Beneficiaries screen is also available under Benefits in the People feature.
   • Self-service forms.
6. The Marital Status drop-down list shows only marital statuses that are assigned the same country as the employee's assigned pay group, and marital statuses that don’t have a country assigned. If the employee isn't assigned a pay group, this drop-down list shows only marital statuses that don’t have countries assigned.
7. Note: Country assignment for marital status isn't enforced in the HR Import.
5. Select an option in the Benefits Group drop-down list that corresponds to the marital status record. The list of options is predefined. This value is used to group marital statuses for use with the Benefits module.
6. Click Save.
