By default, when compensation is preconfigured on a job requisition , Workday carries those values forward into the Offer event without re-evaluating eligibility. This can cause issues when attributes such as location change, because eligibility rules tied to country, location, or other organizational attributes may no longer be valid.

The tenant-level setting Run Eligibility Rules when there is Requisition Compensation , found in Edit Tenant Setup – HCM , instructs Workday to re-run compensation eligibility rules during the Offer process , even if compensation has already defaulted from the requisition. This ensures that compensation elements are validated against the candidate’s current attributes, including location.

The eligibility performance enhancement setting affects processing speed only and does not change evaluation behavior. Guideline defaulting settings impact guideline recalculation, not eligibility. Security policy edits do not control eligibility rule execution.

Therefore, enabling Run Eligibility Rules when there is Requisition Compensation is the correct configuration, making option A correct.
