Workday-Pro-Compensation Exam - Topic 5 Question 15 Discussion

Posted by Giovanna on May 31, 2026 at 03:47 AM

Refer to the following scenario to answer the question below.

A company with salaried and hourly employees has headquarters in London with additional offices in New York and Milan. What configuration allows the company to enter one total compensation amount for employees based in Milan?

Suggested Answer: B

The company wants to enter one total compensation amount for Milan employees instead of entering salary, allowance, and bonus separately.

This is achieved by Manage Basis Total, which allows admins to configure total comp entry at the worker level while Workday allocates automatically across plans.

This simplifies data entry for regions where comp is communicated as a total package.

Why not the others?

A . Eligible Earnings Override Used for payroll overrides, not comp plan entry.

C . Total Base Pay Only includes salary + base pay elements, not full compensation package.

D . Total Salary & Allowances Not a standard Workday configuration option; the correct feature is Manage Basis Total.


Workday Pro Compensation -- Manage Basis Total Functionality: Used when companies pay/track one total amount for comp.

Workday Community -- European Compensation Configurations (Italy, Milan case).

Final Verified Answer: B. Manage Basis Total

I'm a bit confused about the options. D) Total Salary & Allowances sounds relevant, but I can't recall the specifics of how it works for Milan.
