Actual exam question for Workday's Workday-Pro-Compensation exam

Question #: 1
Topic #: 5

[All Workday-Pro-Compensation Questions]

An employee is currently in the process of being transferred to a new location via the change job business process. Prior to this transfer they were intentionally assigned an allowance plan that has no eligibility criteria, and should continue to hold this plan assignment after the transfer is complete. The compensation partner is responsible for ensuring this plan assignment remains unchanged during this business process.

What should the compensation partner do?

AAssign the plan via the Roll Out Compensation Plan To Employees task.

BSet up a Plan Adjustment for the Employees using a default target.

CRestore the removed plan using the Propose Compensation Change task.

DAdd the removed plan using the Request Compensation Change task.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

During a Change Job, compensation may be recalculated, and plans with no eligibility criteria may inadvertently be dropped.

The compensation partner must restore the plan after the transfer using Propose Compensation Change.

This ensures the employee retains the allowance assignment without disrupting the change job process.

Why not the others?

A . Roll Out Compensation Plans Mass rollout, not individual fix.

B . Plan Adjustment Adjusts targets/amounts, not restores removed plans.

D . Request Compensation Change Typically for ad hoc changes; restoration during job change is handled via Propose Compensation Change.

Wait, can they really just keep the same plan without any checks?

Actually, I think they might need to use the Request Compensation Change task.

Adding the plan seems like it could work, but I’m not sure if it’s necessary since the employee already has the plan assigned.

I feel like the Propose Compensation Change task is more about making adjustments, but I’m not completely certain if that’s what we need to do in this case.

I remember a practice question where we had to roll out a compensation plan, but I’m not sure if that applies here since the plan is already assigned.

I think the compensation partner needs to ensure the plan stays the same, so maybe it’s about restoring or adding the plan?

Yeah, I agree with Elli. Option C looks like the best choice here. The question is specifically asking what the compensation partner should do, and restoring the removed plan seems like the appropriate action.

I'm leaning towards option C - Restore the removed plan using the Propose Compensation Change task. That seems like the most straightforward way to maintain the existing plan assignment during the transfer process.

Okay, let me think this through. The employee already has the plan, and we need to make sure it continues after the transfer. I'm guessing we want to use a task that will preserve the existing plan assignment, rather than creating a new one.

Hmm, this seems like it's testing our knowledge of compensation plan management. I think the key is to identify the right task or tool to use to ensure the plan assignment remains unchanged during the transfer.
