Workday-Pro-Absence Exam - Topic 2 Question 5 Discussion

Posted by Nidia on Aug 11, 2026 at 05:33 PM

An absence administrator created a new UK holiday plan that gives all eligible full-time employees 30 days of entitlement at the start of each calendar year.

When an employee loses eligibility for the plan due to a change of job, the accrual needs to automatically adjust based on how much of the year they were eligible for the plan.

What does the administrator need to configure on the accrual for Workday to automatically adjust it?

Suggested Answer: C

The 30-day entitlement is awarded at the beginning of the balance period, so the accrual is classified as front-loaded. If a worker subsequently becomes ineligible because of a job change, Workday must calculate the portion of the front-loaded award that the worker was not entitled to retain. Selecting Front-Loaded activates this proration behavior, while the scheduling condition identifies the business event that should initiate the adjustment.

The scheduling row must use Scheduling: Worker Job Change Mid-Period because the triggering event is a change of job that causes eligibility loss during the balance period. Workday then evaluates the job-change effective date, determines the eligible portion of the calendar year, and creates the corresponding accrual adjustment. The termination condition in option A applies to a termination event, not a job change. Selecting None provides no special mid-period proration. Merely selecting Front-Loaded without the required scheduling condition does not identify when the adjustment should occur.

But what about A? It mentions termination, which could be relevant too.

I agree, C makes sense. It’s clear about mid-period adjustments.

I think option C is the best choice. It directly addresses job changes.

Love the idea, but is it really front-loaded? Seems risky!

Definitely not B, that doesn't seem right at all.

Sounds like a solid plan with 30 days off!

I remember discussing front-loaded options in class, but I can't decide between A and C. They both mention front-loaded, but I think the scheduling grid details might be crucial.

I’m a bit confused about the Adjustments/Overrides Allowed checkbox. I thought it was important for making changes, but I can't remember if it applies to this scenario.

I feel like option C sounds familiar, especially with the "Worker Job Change Mid-Period" part. I practiced a similar question, but I can't recall if that was the right approach.

I think the key here is understanding how front-loaded accruals work. I remember practicing a question about adjusting leave when someone changes jobs, but I'm not entirely sure which option applies.
