Navigating to Pay Components

An important part of paying employees correctly is having the appropriate pay components available in the system for HR & Payroll to use on employee data. Examples of pay components are the following:

• Base Salary – Main Payment
• Spot Bonus – One Time payment
• Cost of Living Adjustment – Recurring
• Medical Deduction – Recurring

A different pay component is needed for different types of payments.

An important part of paying employees is putting employees into pay groups that determine the frequency and dates of payroll. Some organizations pay all their employees on the same payroll and frequency (e.g., Monthly), whereas others split it based on factors (e.g., Hourly in one run and Salary in another run).

In SAP SuccessFactors, the employee's pay group is within Compensation Information in the Employment Information section of the Employee File.

After an employee has been hired into SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central, they will automatically be replicated in SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Payroll.

To see this information, navigate to the Data Replication Monitor.

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Payroll keeps track of data changes to allow Payroll to create/verify/update payroll-specific data. These changes are shown to Payroll via a Home page tile called Complete Payroll Tasks. The three types of data changes tracked include:

• New Hire
• Address Change
• Terminations

You can also find the Complete Payroll Tasks in your To-Do list by clicking the notification icon in the upper right corner of the SAP SuccessFactors Home page.

Choose the specific employee and enter payroll-relevant information on the Complete Payroll Tasks page. This page comprises the list of employees and the relevant infotypes required to complete the process, which depends on the selected payroll task type and the configuration.

After employees are hired into the system, the employee information specific to Payroll is grouped into its own section on the Employee Profile called Payroll Data.

This will include many country specifics and key information, such as the employee's Payroll Status and the ability to view pay statements.

The fields that are shown in the Complete Payroll Task tile and the Payroll Information on the Employee Profile are configurable using the setup called Payroll Unified Configuration. This is unique for each country.
