How Does SAP SuccessFactors Time-off Sync Work?

Keep leave requests, balances and payroll aligned with SuccessFactors

Overview

Time-off Sync brings approved absences and leave balances from SuccessFactors into RemotePass. SuccessFactors stays the single source of truth: once a worker is synced, time off is requested and approved in SuccessFactors and reflected in RemotePass.
​

You're in Control

  • Workers are included when their email matches on both systems and the Employment Type custom field is set in SuccessFactors.

  • You choose which contract types participate when you enable the module.

  • You choose which policies are paid out at termination under Module Settings → Manage time-off policies sync.
    ​

How Time-Off Sync Works

Workers

  • The Workers tab lists every worker in scope. A worker is Synced when the email matches and the custom field is set; otherwise the worker is Discarded until the mismatch is fixed.
    ​

Requests

  • Whenever a time-off request is approved in SuccessFactors, it appears under the Time-off tab. Edits and cancellations processed in SuccessFactors are reflected automatically.

  • Use Refresh for an immediate update.

Balances

  • Each synced worker's Time off tab shows their SuccessFactors balances as of today, read-only. If SuccessFactors shows a yearly entitlement of 10 days and RemotePass shows 4.5, the difference has not accrued yet; approved time off with a future start date is not yet deducted.

  • For synced workers, time-off entry is disabled in RemotePass for both the worker and their manager.


​Policies

  • Under Company Settings → Time Off Policies → SAP SuccessFactors Policies you see the SuccessFactors policies of your synced workers, with the number of workers assigned to each. This view is for reference; policies are managed in SuccessFactors.
    ​

Termination

  • For the policies you enabled in Module Settings, RemotePass fetches the worker's balance as of the termination date you enter and adds the payout to the final payment. If no policy is enabled, nothing is paid out. (EOR and DE only)
    ​

Sync Frequency

  • Requests and balances: on schedule, with on-demand refresh; balances are fetched again for the termination date when you enter one.


Limitations

  • Historical absences before the sync was enabled are not imported.

  • Balances are displayed as of the last refresh; the termination flow fetches them again for the termination date.


Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the balance different from SuccessFactors?
RemotePass shows the balance as of today; SuccessFactors may show the full-year entitlement. The remaining part accrues over the year.

An employee edited or cancelled a request in SuccessFactors.
Once processed in SuccessFactors, the change is reflected in RemotePass automatically.
​

Can workers request time off in RemotePass?
Not while synced. SuccessFactors is the single source of truth for those workers.
