SAP SuccessFactors EC Payroll – Self-Paced Online Course
Modern organizations demand accurate, efficient, and compliant payroll processing to ensure employee satisfaction and organizational trust. SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Payroll (EC Payroll) is a robust cloud-based solution that delivers enterprise-grade payroll processing for global workforces. This self-paced, online course is designed for HR professionals, SAP consultants, payroll administrators, and system integrators aiming to master the configuration, operation, and integration of EC Payroll within the SuccessFactors ecosystem.
This course provides a deep dive into the core features and architecture of EC Payroll, enabling learners to handle end-to-end payroll operations, statutory compliance, off-cycle payments, and integrations with Employee Central. You’ll start with foundational concepts, including the global payroll control center, pre-payroll checks, and the configuration of payroll areas, schemas, and rules.
As you progress, the course focuses on detailed configuration steps such as setting up wage types, infotypes, payroll periods, and retroactive accounting. You’ll gain a functional understanding of how payroll engines process data, calculate results, and generate payslips, while learning how to troubleshoot typical issues using log analysis and audit tools.
A key emphasis is placed on integration with Employee Central and Time Management, ensuring payroll receives accurate, real-time data on employee records, time evaluation results, and organizational changes. You'll explore how to synchronize employee data across systems, manage replication errors, and validate data consistency for seamless payroll execution.
Practical modules introduce payroll posting to finance, handling off-cycle runs (like bonuses, severance, and corrections), and administering country-specific statutory compliance, including tax calculations, social insurance, and year-end reporting. Whether you’re working in the U.S., Germany, India, or any localization, the course provides country-specific considerations and how SAP pre-delivered content supports legal frameworks.
You’ll also learn to use the Payroll Control Center (PCC), a powerful monitoring and execution tool. The course covers how to define process templates, configure KPIs, manage payroll alerts, and automate exception handling—key for streamlining payroll operations across large enterprises.
Hands-on labs and real-world scenarios ensure that you not only learn the “how,” but also the “why.” Exercises cover topics like resolving payroll run errors, managing retro pay issues, and testing payroll simulations before final posting. Additionally, you’ll learn best practices for secure data handling, audit compliance (e.g., GDPR), and minimizing risks during global payroll operations.
Whether you're aiming to support an EC Payroll implementation or become an SAP Payroll Consultant, this course builds your capabilities to configure, test, and support payroll processes from start to finish.
The course is suitable for:
-
Beginners looking to break into SAP Payroll
-
SAP HCM consultants transitioning to the cloud
-
HRIS professionals managing integrated HR and payroll systems
-
Payroll managers seeking deeper technical knowledge
You’ll receive lifetime access to video tutorials, step-by-step configuration guides, quizzes, templates, and interview prep materials, enabling you to refresh your knowledge or update your skills with each new SAP release.
By course end, you'll be confident in running EC Payroll across any organization, ensuring compliance, speed, and accuracy while supporting business continuity and employee trust.
