Detailed Description

The Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is a labor law that allows covered employers to provide employees with unpaid leave for certain medical and family reasons. This feature is designed to integrate with third-party providers to automatically generate FMLA-related absences and access them using a new FMLA dashboard. You can now record half-day absences or any specific time period for clock time-based intermittent absences. When an FMLA request is received from the provider, the system checks internal configurations to determine which absences to create based on the FMLA reason and the employee.

Impact Assessment

This enhancement is automatically on and directly affects all SAP SuccessFactors implementations without requiring any configuration. Implementation teams should validate that the new behavior aligns with business requirements and communicate the change to end users if necessary.

Test Recommendations
• Test all API integrations using the updated or deprecated endpoints to confirm continued operation. • Validate authentication mechanisms (OAuth, certificates) for API connections after the change. • Test authentication flows (certificate/OAuth/SSO) to ensure all integrations authenticate successfully. • Test time-off accrual calculations and leave requests before and after the change. • Verify absence balances and entitlements are correctly displayed to employees and managers.
