Describing the standard HRIS Elements in SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central

Personal information is employee data independent of employment, such as date of birth, nationality, and so on. Personal information is organized in different HR objects or HRIS-elements. Employee Central provides standard pre-delivered person objects to store personal information to meet various country-specific legal requirements, provide emergency contact information for an employee, provide work permit and visa information, and so on.

The table summarizes the standard person objects and their characteristics.

Personal information is displayed and organized in People Profile as blocks.

National ID Information

The National ID Card (nationalIdCard) is a non-effective-dated HRIS element that stores country-specific identification. The National ID element allows for the tracking of changes over time. The valid-from, valid-to, and record-id fields can be used so that multiple National ID records can be stored for a person, each with it's own time period.

Home Address

The Addresses (homeAddress) is an effective-dated HRIS element that stores country-specific address information.

Personal Information and Global Information

Compensation Information and Pay Component Recurring

Compensation Information (compInfo) is an effective-dated HRIS element that stores compensation-related data. It supports country-specific field configuration. Pay Component Recurring (payComponentRecurring) stores recurring pay components assigned to employees. Although configured separately, both are displayed in the same block.

If you work at a global corporation, Employee Central makes it easy by providing country-specific fields. The legal entity assigned to the employee determines the country-relevant fields on employment information. For example, if you hire an employee to work for ACE Netherlands, the system will display the country-specific fields for Job Information relevant to Netherlands. You can configure country-specific fields in BCUI such as home addresses, global information, job information, and so on.

For personal information such as home address and global info, the country field determines the relevant fields to display for the employee.

Here are the key takeaways from this lesson:

• Employee Central stores employee data using standard HRIS person and employment objects, organized as People Profile blocks.
• Person objects cover demographics, IDs, addresses, contacts, dependents, and work permits; some are effective-dated, others not.
• National ID supports multiple records over time using valid-from/to and record-id fields.
• Employment objects cover job, relationships, employment details, compensation, and pay components; many are effective-dated and support workflows.
• Country-specific fields appear based on legal entity or country field; BCUI configures them, with 100+ countries pre-configured.
