The correct answer isC – Compensation Grade.
In Workday, theCompensation Gradefield within theJob Profileconfiguration defines thedefault salary range or pay rangefor that profile. When a worker is hired, transferred, or promoted into a job that references a compensation grade, Workday automatically defaults the associatedminimum, midpoint, and maximum pay rangesinto the staffing or compensation event.
TheCompensation Gradeis typically tied toCompensation Grade Profiles, which further refine pay ranges based on factors such aslocation, job level, or eligibility rules. This ensures pay consistency and compliance with internal compensation structures.
Other fields such asJob CodeorJob Classificationare used primarily for external reporting or regulatory mapping (e.g., EEO, SOC codes) and do not control compensation defaults.
