  Social security tax override is a feature in SAP HCM-Payroll Processing that allows employers to override the default social security tax rate for an employee. This feature is useful for employers who need to adjust the rate for certain employees, such as those who are exempt from social security taxes or those who are subject to different rates. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the social security tax override feature, employers must first enter the employee’s social security number into the system. Then, they can enter the desired rate in the “Social Security Tax Override” field. Once this is done, the system will automatically calculate the employee’s social security tax based on the new rate.

  When using the social security tax override feature, it is important to ensure that all of the information entered is accurate. This includes the employee’s social security number and the new rate.
