Oracle HCM Implementation for UK Local Government
A UK local government authority replaced manual processes and disparate systems with Oracle Cloud HCM — delivering measurable improvements in efficiency, compliance, and employee satisfaction within an evolving regulatory landscape.
The Challenge
The local government authority operated with manual processes spread across disparate systems. The regulatory landscape continued to evolve — adding compliance complexity faster than legacy systems could absorb.
Decision-makers needed visibility, employees needed better service, and the operating model needed to be fit for modern public sector demands.
The Solution
PCL implemented Oracle HCM tailored to UK local government complexity — covering multiple assignments, dual posts, occupational pay for maternity and sickness leave, complex pensions (LGPS, TPS), position management, and government-specific hierarchies.
The implementation included PCL's Shield Strategy — a multiphase lean implementation model designed specifically for UK government entities — ensuring HMRC compliance (FPS, EPS, P60, RTI) across the full pay lifecycle.
