New Reimbursement Enrollment Experience
We’ve made it easier for employees to enroll in, edit, or opt-out of reimbursement benefits. Employees can now select their reimbursement using an intuitive design for quick, accurate completion of changes that reduce errors and follow-up inquiries. The new reimbursement enrollment experience supports all existing benefit types to ensure a smooth transition.
Configurable 401(k) Enrollment Experience
We’re pleased to share that US employees can now select their 401(k) plan from within SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Global Benefits. A clear, configurable experience explains estimated employer contributions and guides them through deferrals and beneficiary setup. This comes with a robust framework, supporting standard deferral sources, catch-up eligibility, estimated employer contribution calculations, beneficiary setup, and pay component mapping.
