In a previous blog, Use cases for choosing the different types of Higher Duty or Temporary Assignment, we outlined the different responsibility types you could choose for that assignment.

The employee or manager or administrator can initiate or create the higher duty or temporary assignment process. There are standard workflows to edit, and approve the higher duty or temporary assignment requests.

Depending on the allowance computation basis selected for the Higher Duty or Temporary Assignment, the annualized reference salary and the higher duty allowance for the higher duty or temporary assignment is calculated in SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central. For information about how the annualized reference salary is calculated for a higher duty or temporary assignment, see Reference Salary Calculation for Higher Duty or Temporary Assignment Allowance.

During the process of adding a higher duty or temporary assignment, you may want to see the amount, currency, and reference salary details of the corresponding nominal assignment. You may also want to see the amount, currency, and reference salary details for the higher duty or temporary assignment. This information is made available on the Workflow Details page.

Viewing the higher duty allowance information in the Workflow Details page

When you add a higher duty or temporary assignment from the Action Center in SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central, you can specify details such as:

• the Higher Duty/Temporary Assignment Percentage: to define the amount of responsibility performed as a higher duty or temporary assignment (and therefore the higher duty allowance).
• The Allowance Percentage: to define the percentage of allowance that the employee is entitled to during the higher duty or temporary assignment period.
• The Allowance Computation Basis selected must be Base Salary Only or Base Salary and Allowances for the higher duty or temporary assignment allowance to be applicable.

After you provide the details and submit the request for adding a higher duty or temporary assignment, the request enters the approval workflow.

The Manage Workflow Requests page in Admin Center displays the list of workflows you have defined. You can click the Search button and search for the workflow that you just triggered when you added the higher duty or temporary allowance.

The Workflow Details page displays the details of the higher duty or temporary assignment, such as the duration, job information, and compensation information.

• Click the arrow next to the Compensation Information tab to see the details of the compensation for the higher duty or temporary assignment.
  • The higher duty allowance is displayed.

On the Workflow Details page, you can click the Update button to add or update details for the nominal or higher duty assignment. After the updates are saved, the added or updated reference salaries and the allowance will be visible on the Workflow Details page.
