Pass the Workday Human Capital Management Workday-Pro-Compensation Questions and answers with CertsForce

Assigning acompensation grade to a job profilelinks that job to adefined pay range(min, midpoint, max).

This ensures that whenever employees are hired or promoted into the job profile, Workdaydefaults the pay range guidanceautomatically.

Managers and HR can then use this information to propose fair and competitive pay.

Why not the others?

B. Target compensation amount→ Target comp is usually set at the employee or plan level, not the grade.

C. Eligibility for bonus plans→ Controlled viaeligibility rules, not compensation grades.

D. Compensation frequency→ Determined byplan setup (annual, monthly, hourly), not by grades.

By default, if compensation defaults from the requisition, Workday mayskip eligibility re-checks.

To ensure eligibility rules arealways executedduring the Offer process (especially if location, job family, or country changes), enable:

Run Eligibility Rules when there is Requisition CompensationinEdit Tenant Setup – HCM.

Why not the others?

B. Enable Defaulting Based on Guidelines→ Controls guideline defaults, not eligibility evaluation.

C. Edit Offer business process security→ Security won’t trigger eligibility rules.

D. Enable Eligibility Rule Performance Enhancement→ Improves performance but doesn’t force rule execution.

In eligibility rule setup, theSource External Field or Condition Rulecolumn shows both fields and condition rules.

Example: enteringfield:Worker Typeensures only fields appear, excluding other condition rules.

Why not the others?

B. Brackets→ Not a recognized syntax.

C. All caps→ Doesn’t change filtering behavior.

D. Asterisk→ Used for wildcard searches, not filtering.

By default, Workday restricts one-time payments so that onlyone plan per effective date/reasoncan be entered.

To allowmultiple one-time payments(different plans and pay dates, same effective date/reason), you must enable:

“Enable Multiple One-Time Payments”inEdit Tenant Setup – HCM.

Why not the others?

A. Add Review step for HR Partner→ Impacts workflow, not configuration.

B. Disable Pay Date Help Text→ Only changes help text display, not functionality.

D. Configure same eligibility rules & package→ Doesn’t override the one-payment-per-effective-date limitation.

Maintain Custom Validationsallows you to refine which events validations apply to.

Workday distinguishes betweenRequest One-Time Payment(manager/HR initiated) andRequest One-Time Payment for Self(employee initiated).

By using theOne Time Payment Event for Self field, you can exclude self-service events from being validated by the existing custom validations.

Why not the others?

B. Add new validations→ Would duplicate rules rather than exclude them.

C. Remove Employee as Self from security domain→ Would block employees from submitting requests, not exclude validations.

D. Configure Options Fields→ Controls fields displayed, not validation logic.

C. Sales→ Not a sales role.
