Payroll Data Types

Data is essential to every payroll system, and SAP’s solution is no exception. Employee Central Payroll can work with five different forms of data.

Personal Data

Personal data refers to information about an individual employee. This comprises information such as the employee’s address, full name, and the number of hours they are expected to work every week. The type of contract they have hourly or salaried the area they work, and the name of the person who oversees or manages them are all examples of additional information. This information is often maintained in an HR system and is used to calculate and report on employee pay. Employee Central Payroll can only function if the HR system is Employee Central.

Compensation data

The contracted rate of pay, the hourly rate for employees paid by the hour, or a monthly/annual salary for salaried employees paid a set amount regardless of how many hours they work is the focus of compensation data. Certain non-recurring incomes may also be included in compensation. Your pay planning system does not have to be SAP SuccessFactors for Employee Central Payroll to work. The final pay rates and bonus amounts, on the other hand, must be available in Employee Central or Employee Central Payroll.

Regulatory Data

Employers are subject to regulatory restraints such as taxes and garnishments. This regulatory data is necessary for each employee to correctly calculate their net pay by deducting the relevant tax deductions.

Because this type of data isn’t really relevant for HR procedures, the majority of this regulatory data is loaded directly into the payroll system. However, some Employee Central capabilities, known as mashups, allow this data to be entered directly into the payroll system using the Employee Central user interface.

Time data

Hourly employees must have accurate time data in order to be paid correctly because their pay is based on the number of hours they work. A system like WorkForce Software or Kronos is frequently used to manage time data. The examination of time data, such as overtime labor or paid leave, is accompanied by complex rules. These guidelines are usually found in the time system, and the results of the evaluation are transferred to the payroll system via an interface. The Employee Central Payroll system then applies the rate of pay to this time data to determine what the compensation should be.
