NEW QUESTION # 12
Refer to the following scenario to answer the question below.
A company has several configurable compensation bases established in their system:
* Total Cost (India): Qualifies Indian employees and includes all salary plans, period salary plans, allowance plans, bonus plans, and retirement savings plans; only 50% of their total compensation can be used toward their salary plan.
* Total Compensation Non-Sales: Qualifies all full-time employees not in sales and includes all salary plans, allowance plans, bonus plans, and calculated plans.
* Total Compensation Sales: Qualifies all full-time sales employees and includes all salary plans, allowance plans, and commission plans.
* Total Pay (Mexico): Qualifies Mexican employees and includes all salary plans, period salary plans, and allowance plans.
* Salary and Seniority: Qualifies all employees and includes all salary plans and the specific seniority calculated plan.
The configurable compensation bases have the following ranking:
* 10 Total Cost (India)
* 20 Total Compensation Non Sales
* 30 Total Compensation Sales
* 40 Total Pay (Mexico)
* Salary and Seniority is unranked
You have a full-time support analyst who works in Mexico City. What compensation basis will be this employee's primary compensation basis?
- A. Total Pay (Mexico)
- B. Total Compensation Sales
- C. Salary and Seniority
- D. Total Compensation Non-Sales
Answer: A
Explanation:
* The employee is afull-time support analyst in Mexico City.
* The relevant bases are:
* Total Pay (Mexico)# For Mexican employees.
* Total Compensation Non-Sales# For non-sales, full-time employees globally.
* Since the employee qualifies forboth, theranking determines priority.
* Ranking:
* (10) India
* (20) Non-Sales
* (30) Sales
* (40) Mexico
* Normally, thelowest ranking number (highest priority)applies. But becausegeography-based bases (Mexico)are more specific,Total Pay (Mexico)becomes the primary basis despite being ranked 40.
Why not the others?
* B. Salary and Seniority# Unranked, only applies when no ranked basis fits.
* C. Sales# Not a sales role.
* D. Non-Sales# Qualified, but Mexico-specific basis takes precedence.

NEW QUESTION # 13
A company is in the process of introducing pay ranges for specific job profiles to ensure fair and competitive compensation, which are implemented as compensation grades in Workday. What role do compensation grades fulfill within the Workday compensation framework?
- A. To calculate which compensation basis is used for reporting.
- B. To connect the salary amount to payroll earnings.
- C. To determine the employee's eligibility for overtime pay.
- D. To provide guidance when entering pay rates during a transaction.
Answer: D
Explanation:
* Compensation gradesin Workday definepay ranges(minimum, midpoint, maximum) for job profiles.
* Their purpose isguidanceduring compensation transactions (hire, promotion, merit increase, etc.), ensuring pay is competitive and consistent.
* They do not enforce payroll mapping or overtime eligibility directly but help managers and HR align salary offers to market ranges.
Why not the others?
* B. Connect salary to payroll# That is done bycompensation elements, not grades.
* C. Overtime eligibility# Determined bywork hours & worker type, not grades.
* D. Compensation basis for reporting# Controlled bycomp basis setup, not grades.

NEW QUESTION # 14
While creating an offer, you realize that default compensation configured on the job requisition is defaulting on the offer. The location is changing, which may impact the candidate's eligibility to certain compensation elements.
How can you ensure that Workday runs eligibility rules during the Offer business process even when default compensation exists on the job requisition?
- A. Edit the Offer business process security policy.
- B. Select the Run Eligibility Rules when there is Requisition Compensation setting in Edit Tenant Setup - HCM.
- C. Select the Enable Eligibility Rule Performance Enhancement for Compensation Plan Profiles setting in Edit Tenant Setup - HCM.
- D. Select the Enable Defaulting Based on Changes to Guidelines setting in Edit Tenant Setup - HCM.
Answer: B

* 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.

What base pay plan supports additional months, weeks, or days of pay?
- A. Unit salary plan
- B. Hourly plan
- C. Salary plan
- D. Period salary plan
Answer: D
Explanation:
* APeriod Salary Planin Workday supports paying employees more than 12 times per year (e.g., 13 or
14 payments for regions like Italy or Spain).
* This allows payroll to spread annual salary across the correct number of pay periods.
Why not the others?
* A. Unit salary plan- Pays based on units (like per credit hour for faculty), not extra months.
* B. Hourly plan- Pays by worked hours, not relevant to salaried employees.
* D. Salary plan- Standard salary plan assumes 12 months and does not support extra pay periods.
References:

- B. You want Workday to show the taxes to the user when requesting a one-time payment.
- C. You want Workday to automatically adjust the one-time payment so the employee receives the full amount after taxes.
- D. You want Workday to apply taxes on the one-time payment.
Answer: C

* Example: If you want an employee tonet $1,000, and taxes are 20%, Workday will calculate and issue
~$1,250 gross so the employee keeps $1,000 after taxes.
Why not the others?
* A. Show taxes to user# Not what Gross Up does.
* B. Manual update required# Gross up is automated, not manual.
* C. Apply taxes normally# Workday already applies taxes; gross up goes further by adjusting amounts.
References:
Workday Pro Compensation - One-Time Payment Plan Setup:Gross Up ensures net payment equals requested amount.

- B. Compensation Spreadsheet
- C. Employee Compensation Audit
- D. Compensation Changes
Answer: A
Explanation:
* TheCompensation Rule Assignment reportlistsall compensation components (plans, packages, elements, etc.) that are using eligibility rules.
* This helps administrators verify where and how eligibility rules are applied across the system.
Why not the others?
* B. Employee Compensation Audit# Focuses on mismatches between eligibility and assignments, not all rules in use.
* C. Compensation Spreadsheet# Shows comp details, not eligibility rules.

NEW QUESTION # 18
Refer to the following scenario to answer the question below.
An allowance plan has a default value of $100 USD. The plan has three profiles:
* $110 CAD - all Toronto employees are eligible
* €80 EUR - all Paris employees are eligible
* $120 AUD - all Sydney employees are eligible
You want to give employees in Dublin, Ireland €90 EUR in the allowance. How can you ensure that employees in Ireland receive the correct localized amount during hire without affecting the rate for employees hired in the US?
- A. Use the Edit Allowance Plan task and add a €90 EUR plan profile for Ireland.
- B. Use the Set Up Allowance Plan Adjustment task and update the plan default value to €90 EUR.
- C. Use the Set Up Allowance Plan Adjustment task and select the No Override checkbox.
- D. Use the Request Compensation Change business process and update the amount to €90 EUR.
Answer: A
Explanation:
* The correct way to give Dublin employees €90 is toadd a new plan profile specific to Ireland.
* Profiles localize allowance values by country/region, ensuring correct defaults without disrupting global defaults.
Why not the others?
* B. Request Compensation Change# Manual, per employee, not scalable.
* C. Set Up Allowance Plan Adjustment - No Override# Adjustment applies to default, not region- specific.
* D. Update plan default value# Would wrongly affect US and all other non-profile employees.

NEW QUESTION # 19
Refer to the following scenario to answer the question below.
An employee who works in Mexico City has a grade profile assigned to them with the following setup:
* Grade: 7
* Base Pay Elements: Base Pay, 13th Month
* Eligibility Rules: Location - Mexico City
* Currency: MXN
* Frequency: Annual
Total Base Pay
* Minimum: 700,000 MXN (40,961 USD)
* Maximum: 1,800,000 MXN (105,328 USD)
* Midpoint: 1,250,000 MXN (73,145 USD)
You need to include a family allowance in Mexico employees' total base pay. How will you achieve this?
- A. Create a compensation element group with the family allowance. The compensation element group is not assigned to the grade, but is used for reporting purposes.
- B. Create a custom compensation basis for Mexico employees and include all salary plans, period salary plans, and the family allowance plan.
- C. Update the Base Pay Elements field on the Mexico grade profiles to include the family allowance compensation element.
- D. Use the Put Eligible Earnings Override EIB to include the family allowance amount.
Answer: C
Explanation:
* Base Pay Elementson a grade profile determine which compensation plans/elements are included inTotal Base Pay.
* In this scenario, Mexico employees already haveBase Pay + 13th Monthincluded. To ensureFamily Allowanceis also counted as part of total base pay, you mustadd the family allowance elementdirectly in theBase Pay Elements fieldof the Mexico grade profile.
* This way, when Workday calculates total base pay, it aggregates all specified components.
Why not the others?
* B. Create custom compensation basis# Useful for reporting/eligibility but not tied to grade profile definitions of total base pay.
* C. Put Eligible Earnings Override EIB# This is a data load tool, not a configuration solution.
* D. Compensation element group# Groups are for reporting or eligibility, but they don't define which plans contribute to total base pay.
References:
Workday Pro Compensation - Compensation Grades Guide:Base Pay Elements define what counts toward total base pay.
Workday Community - Grade Profile Configuration:Adding allowance elements ensures they roll into base pay calculations.
#Final Verified answer: A. Update the Base Pay Elements field on the Mexico grade profiles to include
NEW QUESTION # 20
Refer to the following scenario to answer the question below.
A company pays its employees a monthly allowance. Plan targets are dependent on plan profile eligibility rules. There are 100 different types of plan profiles, each with a specific target amount for the eligible population. Sample plan profile eligibility criteria include:
* Job Family = Human Resources $50 USD
* Job Family = Sales $70 USD
* Job Family and Country = Human Resources / Australia $78 AUD
* Job Family and Country = Sales / Australia $110 AUD
One of the compensation administrators has made changes to the eligibility rule for the Sales and Australian plan profile, removing Sales employees. What impact will changing this eligibility rule have?

- B. All Australian employees will automatically be enrolled in the plan.
- C. Any Australian employee will have an allowance automatically added during a job change and Sales employees will have their allowance automatically removed during a job change.
- D. Sales employees will automatically be removed from the plan.
Answer: C
Explanation:
* If theeligibility rule for Sales / Australia profileis changed to remove "Sales," thenall Australian employees(regardless of job family) become eligible.
* As a result:
* Any Australian employee moving roles will be assigned the allowance.
* Sales employees will no longer qualify, so their allowances are automatically removed during compensation/job changes.
Why not the others?
* A. Sales removed immediately# Removal only happens at a transaction/job change evaluation.
* C. All Australians automatically enrolled# Not automatic, triggered during job/comp events.
* D. System error# Not how Workday handles eligibility changes.
