Enabling Time Off

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to describe Time Off background requirements.

Time Off Setup

Before employees can use Time Off to apply for vacation and other approved absences, you need to set up the Time Off objects.

The Manage Employee Central Settings are displayed.

The Time Off option can be enabled through the Manage Employee Central Settings tool in Admin Center. To enable features, you first need to configure permission to view the Manage Employee Central Settings page.

Time Off Tab and Field Enablement

Time Off uses generic objects to store both transaction data and master data.

Time Off Permission Requirements

Another prerequisite for Time Off is that permissions must be set up in Role Based Permissions (RBP).

Configuring Time Off permissions needs you to make updates to role-based permissions (RBP). In the figure above, you can see that you must enable the Time Off options in the Time Management User Permission Category. You also can choose the appropriate permissions for employees, managers, Human Resources (HR), and system administrators.

Note

See the Permissions in Time Off chapter in the Time Off implementation guide for the specific settings that must be in place.

Time Off Activation in Manage Employee Central Settings

To activate Time Off, navigate to Manage Employee Central Settings.

The Time and Attendance Management section is displayed.

In the resulting screen, if you want to use the full Time Off solution, move the Time Off switch to On, as shown in the preceding figure.

Data Privacy and Protection

With each release, several new data protection and privacy features have been made available to our customers and some existing features have been enhanced.

The data protection and privacy features include the ability to report on personal data changes and the capacity to report on all the data subject’s personal data available in the application. Customers also have options to configure data retention rules at country/region level for active and inactive employees that permanently purge personal data from SAP SuccessFactors applications.

It's the customer’s responsibility to adopt the features that they deem appropriate. More information can be found on the SAP Help Portal: SAP Help Portal
