In Workday, plan profile eligibility rules control which employees qualify for a compensation plan during evaluation events, such as Hire, Job Change, or Compensation Change. When eligibility rules are updated, Workday does not immediately retroactively remove compensation. Instead, the system evaluates eligibility at the next compensation-related business process.

In this scenario, Sales employees were explicitly removed from the Sales / Australia plan profile eligibility. As a result, those employees no longer qualify for the allowance. During the next eligible event—such as a job change or compensation review—Workday will automatically remove the allowance from employees who no longer meet the eligibility criteria.

Workday does not generate system errors due to eligibility rule changes, nor does it automatically enroll unrelated populations. Additionally, allowances are not mass-added or removed immediately without a triggering event unless a mass operation is run.

Therefore, the correct outcome is that Sales employees will automatically be removed from the plan, making option D correct.
