Abstract: Let $R$ be a finite commutative ring with $1e0$. The set $mathcalF(R)$ of polynomial functions on $R$ is a finite commutative ring with pointwise operations. Its group of units $mathcalF(R{)}^{i}mes$ is just the set of all unit-valued polynomial functions, that is the set of polynomial functions which map $R$ into its group of units. We show that $mathcal{P}_R(R[x]/(x^2))$ the group of polynomial permutations on the ring $R[x]/(x^2)$, consisting of permutations represented by polynomials over $R$, is embedded in a semidirect product of $mathcalF(R{)}^{i}mes$ by $mathcalP(R)$ the group of polynomial permutations on $R$. In particular, when $R=mathbb{F}_q$, we prove that $mathcal{P}_{mathbb{F}_q}(mathbb{F}_q[x]/(x^2))congmathcalP(mathbb{F}_q)ltime{s}_{h}etamathcalF(mathbb{F}_q{)}^{i}mes$. Furthermore, we count unit-valued polynomial functions $pmod{p}^n$ and obtain canonical representations for these functions.
