You want to display only relevant compensation plan sections during the Propose Compensation Change step of the Change Job business process, either for an internal job change or an internal hire.
What setting will enable Workday to determine the relevant plan sections to display based on worker eligibility and the security permissions for the user performing the compensation change?
The Dynamic Display option controls whether Workday shows only relevant compensation plan sections during transactions like Propose Compensation Change.
It evaluates:
Worker eligibility rules (which plans apply).
User security permissions (what the initiator can see).
This ensures users only see compensation sections relevant to their context, reducing clutter and errors.
Why not the others?
A . Segment security Controls data security, not dynamic display.
C . Hide Total Salary & Allowances Hides totals, doesn't manage section visibility.
D . Eligibility Rule Performance Enhancement Improves performance, not visibility.
Workday Pro Compensation -- Dynamic Display Settings: Ensures streamlined Propose Compensation Change process.
For the past four years, your company offered employees a $3,000 annual housing allowance plan. The company wants to increase this plan to $3,500 annually and make sure the existing employees on the plan get the new amount granted to them.
How would you make this change so that new and existing employees receive the new amount?
To increase the housing allowance plan from $3,000 $3,500 and update both new and existing employees:
Use Set Up Allowance Plan Adjustment with option Adjust to New Defaults.
This updates all employees on the plan to the new standard amount while ensuring future hires also default to the updated value.
Why not the others?
A . Create a new plan Creates unnecessary duplication, complicating reporting.
B . Edit the allowance plan directly Updates default for future, but not current employees.
D . Request Compensation Change per employee Manual, time-consuming, not scalable.
Workday Pro Compensation -- Allowance Plan Adjustments: ''Adjust to New Defaults'' is the method to update current assignments.
You added a signing bonus during the Offer event, but the signing bonus did not carry forward into the Hire event.
What is missing from your configuration?
In Workday, one-time payments (like signing bonuses) must flow from Offer Hire to remain consistent.
If the signing bonus added during Offer doesn't carry into Hire, it means the Hire business process is missing the Request One-Time Payment subprocess.
Adding it ensures that any one-time payments from the offer are automatically included in the hire event.
Why not the others?
A . Include in package Package inclusion allows proposal but doesn't ensure carry-forward into Hire.
B . Add approval step Workflow step won't fix missing subprocess link.
D . Update security policy Security won't solve missing subprocess configuration.
Workday Pro Compensation -- Offer & Hire Integration: One-time payments carry into hire only if Request One-Time Payment is a subprocess.
What is the purpose of the compensation element?
A compensation element in Workday is the foundational link between a compensation plan (e.g., salary, bonus, allowance) and payroll processing.
When you assign a compensation plan (like a car allowance, bonus, or salary plan), Workday requires a compensation element that directly maps to a payroll earning code.
This ensures that the pay component flows into payroll correctly, appears on pay slips, and is taxable/deductible as designed.
Why not the others?
B . Requisition compensation -- Job requisitions use compensation packages for recruiting, but elements are not tied to requisitions.
C . Eligibility rules -- Eligibility determines who can receive the plan, not the element itself.
D . Benefit deductions -- Those are handled by benefit deduction elements, not compensation elements.
Workday Pro Compensation Training: Compensation elements map compensation plans to payroll earnings.
Workday Community -- Compensation Elements Overview: Confirms the purpose of elements is payroll integration, not eligibility or benefits.
A company needs a $500 monthly car allowance for its sales team, paid as a flat amount. The allowance should only be for employees in the Sales job family.
How should you configure this allowance plan?
The requirement is a flat $500 monthly allowance for Sales employees.
Amount-based allowance plan is the correct choice since it supports fixed, recurring payments in a defined currency and frequency.
Adding an eligibility rule ensures only employees in the Sales job family are assigned this allowance.
Why not the others?
A . Unit-based allowance plan Used when pay is based on number of units (e.g., kilometers, credits), not flat amounts.
B . Percent-based allowance plan Tied to % of base pay, not a fixed dollar figure.
D . Reimbursable allowance plan Used for expense reimbursements, not recurring flat compensation.
Workday Pro Compensation Training -- Allowance Plan Types: Amount-based plans = recurring fixed amounts.
