Growth Comes with Growing Pains Growth is a sign you're doing something right.

Work Schedule Builder
Flexible Patterns Without Compliance Headaches
Schedule flexibly. Pay correctly.
Give workers the flexibility they want and meet award obligations without spreadsheets or payroll help‑desk tickets.
Flexible work is now standard, but non‑traditional patterns blow out accruals, entitlements and pay calculations.
Managers need visibility, HR needs control, and payroll needs the rules right every single time.
Manual fixes invite errors and wage‑theft risk.
The Discovery Solution
Discovery Work Schedule Builder lets you construct, approve and publish compliant work patterns directly inside SAP SuccessFactors. Casual only roles, variable hours, job shares handled in minutes, not days.
Discover the Savings
Creating and maintaining work schedules in SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central (EC), and then replicating and transporting them into SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Payroll, places a heavy burden on administrative staff.
On average, preparing and replicating a single work schedule consumes 3 hours. For teams completing just 4 schedules per week, this quickly escalates to 12 hours weekly—or 624 hours annually. That’s the equivalent of nearly 16 working weeks per year devoted solely to manual schedule maintenance.
With the Work Schedule Builder, organisations can reduce this workload by up to 91%, saving approximately 572 hours annually—a potential cost saving of around $45,000 per year.
Use the calculator below to estimate your organisation’s potential savings based on the number of schedules you complete each week and your team’s hourly administrative rate.
