Use the Schedule Automatic Step Progression task to move eligible employees to the next step.

Use the Maintain Compensation Steps task and add a progression rule to the steps.

Use the Change Job business process to move the employees on the report to a new compensation grade and step.

Use the Set Up Grade Job Profile Adjustment task to update the grade assigned to the employees on the report.

Q34. 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. How do you configure pay ranges for the Software Engineer job profile in each location?

Create one compensation grade for each location and attach it to the job profile.

Create three compensation grades and attach them to three job profiles.

Create one compensation grade with profiles for each location and attach it to the job profile.

Create one compensation grade with multiple eligibility rules.

Q35. 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?

Create a unit-based allowance plan, specifying the number of units and per-unit amount to total $500 monthly. Create an eligibility rule for the Sales job family and assign it to the plan.

Create a percent-based allowance plan, specifying the percentage of base pay to equal $500 monthly.
Create an eligibility rule for the Sales job family and assign it to the plan.

Create an amount-based allowance plan, specifying $500 as the amount, monthly frequency. Create an eligibility rule for the Sales job family and assign it to the plan.

Create a reimbursable allowance plan, specifying $500 as the reimbursement amount. Create an eligibility rule for the Sales job family and assign it to the plan.

Q36. Your company would like to automatically increase pay after 12 months of employment, but only after 400 hours worked. What configuration will achieve this on compensation steps?

Select the “Assign first step during compensation proposal” checkbox and set a progression rule that counts 12 months.

Set a progression rule that counts the number of hours worked.

Set a duration of 12 months.

Set a duration of 12 months and a step progression rule that counts the number of hours worked.

InWorkday Compensation, step progression is controlled through a combination ofduration(time-based eligibility) andprogression rules(additional conditions, like hours worked or performance).
Here’s how the scenario breaks down:
* Requirement 1 – 12 months of employment
* Workday supports step duration, where you can specify that an employee must remain at a step for a defined period before being eligible for the next step.
* Setting a duration of12 monthsensures that the employee only becomes eligible for a step increase after completing a year in the role.
* Requirement 2 – 400 hours worked
* Workday allows you to configurestep progression rulesthat evaluate conditions beyond time, such ashours worked, performance ratings, or other calculated fields tied to the worker.
* Aprogression rule counting the number of hours workedensures that the pay increase is not triggered until the employee meets the required 400 hours.
* Why not the other options?
* A. Assign first step during compensation proposal + 12 months rule- This would only apply the first step, but it doesn’t enforce the “400 hours worked” requirement.
* B. Hours worked only- This ignores the requirement of12 months of employment.
* C. Duration of 12 months only- This ignores the requirement of400 hours worked.
Thus, onlyD(duration + step progression rule) satisfiesboth conditions simultaneously.
References (from Workday Pro Compensation knowledge & learning resources):
* Workday Compensation – Step Progression Configuration:Duration enforces time-in-step, while progression rules allow conditions such as hours worked or performance-based eligibility.
* Workday Pro Training Materials (Compensation module):Step increase rules require combining durationwitheligibility/progression conditionsfor multi-criteria automation.
* Workday Community – Compensation Step Progression Guide:Confirms that when multiple criteria must be met (e.g., tenure and hours worked), they must be configured inboth the duration setting and the progression rule logic.

Q37. 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?

Create a new housing allowance plan for the new amount and add it to the compensation package.

Edit the allowance plan with the new effective date and change the Plan Amount.

Run the Set Up Allowance Plan Adjustment task to change the amount and indicate that you want to adjust to new defaults for the employees.

Use the Request Compensation Change process for the existing employees to edit the allowance plan to reflect the new amount.

Q38. Refer to the following scenario to answer the question below.

* Job Family = Human Resources $50 USD
* Job Family = Sales $70 USD
* Job Family and Country = Human Resources / Australia $78 AUD
* Job Family and Country = Sales / Australia $110 AUD
One of the compensation administrators has made changes to the eligibility rule for the Sales and Australian plan profile, removing Sales employees. What impact will changing this eligibility rule have?

Sales employees will automatically be removed from the plan.

Any Australian employee will have an allowance automatically added during a job change and Sales employees will have their allowance automatically removed during a job change.

When setting up acar allowance plan(or any allowance/compensation plan in Workday), you must ensure that it is tied to payroll through the correctcompensation element.
Here’s the breakdown of the options:
* Maintain Compensation Elements#
* This task is where youcreate, configure, and manage compensation elements.
* Everycompensation plan(like salary, allowance, bonus) must be associated with acompensation element, which then links topayroll earningsfor processing.
* For acar allowance, you would create a new compensation element (type = allowance) so that payroll can recognize and pay it.
* Maintain Compensation Element Groups
* This is used to group multiple compensation elements together for easier administration, reporting, or eligibility rules.
* It does not create the element itself, so it’s not the right task here.
* Map Compensation Elements to Payroll Earnings
* This step is necessaryafterthe element exists, to map the element to the correctpayroll earning code(so payroll knows how to pay it).
* However, you can’t map something that hasn’t been created yet.
* Edit Tenant Setup HCM
* This is a higher-level tenant configuration task for broad HCM settings (security, defaults, integrations, etc.).
* It is not used for creating compensation elements.
