In Workday, when an organization needs to changeonly compensation details—such as base salary—without affecting job, position, organization, or other worker attributes, the correct task isRequest Compensation Change. This task is specifically designed forstandalone compensation updates.
The Transfer, Promote or Change Job task is used when job-related attributes change and should not be used for compensation-only updates. Request Grade Change modifies the employee’s compensation grade but does not directly update salary amounts. Request One-Time Payment is limited to non-recurring payments and does not affect base pay.
Request Compensation Change ensures:
No job or organizational data is altered
Proper compensation validations and guidelines apply
Accurate audit tracking and approvals are enforced
Therefore,Request Compensation Changeis the correct and Workday-recommended task for ad hoc salary changes.
