Deactivate Worker Payment Elections

Security:
Manage: Business Process Definitions
 domain in the System functional area.
You can add a step to the
Termination
 business process that deactivates payment elections for terminated workers.
Deactivating payment elections on termination can prevent payment errors if you rehire the employee.
You can't delete any payment elections for which the person is eligible. You can use the
Purge Privacy Data
 task to manage the purging of personal information, including payment elections, as part of the
Termination
 business process.
  1. Find the
    Termination
     business process, and select
    Business Process

  5. (Optional) Add a step delay by opening the related actions menu from the
    Deactivate Worker Payment Elections
     step and selecting
    Business Process
     >
    Maintain Step Delay
    .
When you deactivate payment elections as part of the
Termination
 business process:
  • Workday uses the
    Default Payment Type
     configured in the
    Maintain Payment Election Rules
     task to pay the terminated worker. Example: If you terminate a worker midperiod with
    Default Payment Type
     as Check, Workday uses Check on their last pay.
  • You can no longer view the payment elections on a worker's profile.
If you configure a step delay into the
Termination
 business process and rehire the employee before the step completes, Workday won't deactivate their payment elections.
You can access the
Terminate Employee
 task, to end a worker's job or position.
