Steps: Rescind or Forfeit Bonus Payments for Employees

Steps: Rescind or Forfeit Bonus Payments for Employees

Enable the
Rescind
action for selected security groups in the
Employee Bonus for Bonus Process
business process.
You can rescind or forfeit a bonus payment for a specific employee. You can also forfeit a one-time payment.
  1. To rescind a bonus payment, as a related action off the worker, select
    Compensation
    View Compensation History
    .
    On the
    Bonus and One-Time Payments
    tab, select
    Business Process
    Rescind
    as a related action off the business process event for the worker's bonus payment.
    The
    Initiate Compensation Review Process
    must be complete.
  2. To forfeit a bonus or one-time payment from the
    Request One-Time Payment
    business process, select
    Forfeit
    .
    • Configure the
      Request One-Time Payment
      process as a step on the
      Termination
      business process.
    • The
      Scheduled Payment Date
      must be after the
      Termination Date
      .
    • Select the
      Send to Payroll
      option on the payment.
    If you select
    Forfeit
    , Workday forfeits the payment, overriding
    Send to Payroll
    .
    The ability to forfeit applies only when the worker still has the primary position as when you configured the one-time or bonus payment. Workday only displays those payments for forfeit associated with the current position. Workday doesn't display a payment for forfeit if the worker changes jobs or gets a new primary position after you configured the payment. Example: Terry has a one-time payment associated with the old position and another associated with the current position. During the termination process for Terry, Workday displays only the one-time payment associated with Terry's current position, not the former position.
