Time Off in SuccessFactors Employee Central: demonstration

[lukemarson]

I was recently asked to demo the Time Off functionality of SuccessFactors Employee Central for a customer. I noticed that there is little information around how Time Off is used and so after I had demonstrated the Time Off functionality to the customer I decided to record some videos for the community. I recorded three videos to show the functionality for each of the different users: employees, managers, and HR administrators. You can see the videos below.

Employees

In this video I am logged in as Carla Grant where I look at the Time Off module and make some leave requests.

Managers

In this video I am logged in as Alexander Thompson, Carla Grant’s manager. Here I attend my workflows and review Carla’s leave requests.

HR Administrators

In this video I am logged in as a HR Administrator where I review the Time Account details for Darlene Sharp.

Summary

The Time Off functionality is simple and easy to use. It is not a full time management solution, but for managing vacation and leave of absences it provides enough basic functionality to support the process sufficiently. Since it is built on the Metadata Framework it means that  configuration and maintenance of the system is straightforward, whether by employees, managers, HR administrators, or system administrators.
