What is Employee Central Payroll?

Full name

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Payroll

Category

Human Resources

Typical roles

Employee Central Payroll Consultant, SAP Payroll Integration Lead, Payroll Test Specialist

Employee Central Payroll is SAP payroll integrated with SuccessFactors Employee Central. Payroll transformation requires country-specific rules, parallel runs and careful handling of sensitive employee data.

Employee Central is the HR system of record; Employee Central Payroll calculates and processes pay.

A practical Employee Central Payroll engagement begins with an inventory of the installed product and release, affected business processes, connected systems and decision-makers. From there, the team can define scope, data and integration requirements, testing responsibilities and a realistic transition or support plan.
