Gross Up = Adjusting a payment so that after tax deductions, the employee takes home the intended net amount.

Example: If you want an employee to net $1,000 , and taxes are 20%, Workday will calculate and issue ~$1,250 gross so the employee keeps $1,000 after taxes.

Why not the others?

A. Show taxes to user → Not what Gross Up does.

B. Manual update required → Gross up is automated, not manual.

C. Apply taxes normally → Workday already applies taxes; gross up goes further by adjusting amounts.

In Workday, when you set an Actual End Date on a compensation plan, the plan remains active through that date .

Workday automatically removes the plan the day after the entered actual end date.

Example: If Actual End Date = March 31, the plan is removed effective April 1 .

Why not the others?

B. Last day of the month +1 → Too restrictive; not always tied to month-end.

C. On the actual end date → Wrong; the plan is valid through the end date.

D. Last day of the pay period +1 → Not relevant; tied to end date, not pay periods.

Some countries (e.g., Italy, Spain) legally require employees to be paid 13 or 14 times per year .

Workday supports this by using a Period Salary Plan with a multiplier , which allows additional months, weeks, or days of pay.

In this case, to meet the legislation for an extra month, configure the period salary plan with a 1-month multiplier .

Why not the others?

A. Amount-based allowance plan → Allowances are supplemental, not designed for legislated base salary multipliers.

B. Percent-based merit plan → Merit is performance-based, not a legislative requirement.

C. One-time payment plan → One-time payments are ad hoc, not recurring annual extra months.

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.

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.

The Employee Compensation Audit Report highlights mismatches between eligibility rules and actual assignments.

Since Sales Analyst is part of Sales job family but eligibility rules may not yet reflect this new job profile , the allowance plan appears under Unassigned Eligible Compensation Components → meaning the employee is eligible but has not yet been assigned the component.

Why not the others?

A. Won’t appear → It will appear, because Sales job family has a profile.

B. Assigned Eligible Compensation Components → Only if already assigned.

D. Assigned Ineligible Compensation Components → Not correct, because Sales Analyst job profile makes them eligible.

In eligibility rule setup, the Source External Field or Condition Rule column shows both fields and condition rules.

To restrict your entry to fields only , Workday requires the prefix field: .

Example: entering field:Worker Type ensures only fields appear, excluding other condition rules.

Why not the others?

B. Brackets → Not a recognized syntax.

C. All caps → Doesn’t change filtering behavior.

D. Asterisk → Used for wildcard searches, not filtering.
