The updates in H1 will be available in Support Pack C5 available on November 9, 2023. You can visit our Support Pack Release Schedule for more information.

New Local Version – Greece

With this release we are excited to now provide the ability to run Employee Central Payroll in Greece. This now brings our localized versions to 50 native locales! (See the full list on our localization site with a cool interactive map). Additionally we have 6 additional partner countries available as described in SAP KBA 3031216 – Employee Central Payroll: Availability of Partner Local Versions. EPI-USE has localized Peru, Vietnam, Denmark, and Angola which are GA with Mozambique and Namibia in pilot status.

Our strategy is to deliver locales we offered on-premise based upon customer and prospect demand so more to come for localizations! We also have a high interest from various partners to continue to localize more versions.

Engagement Card (US)

Based upon customer request to make it easier for employees to update their tax information in the US we have added the ability for customers to automatically have an engagement card created in the SAP SuccessFactors home page based upon an employee having a data change (New hire not having Withholding information entered yet, an address change, or a change to marital status). This will allow employees to quickly and easily create or update their W4 tax forms so their taxes are withheld appropriately. Here is a look at how this would look for an employee.
