Configure Total Rewards Templates

Configure Total Rewards Templates

Security:
Set Up: Total Rewards
 domain in the Core Compensation functional area.
You can create a total rewards template that enables you to:
  • Display compensation, benefits, and payroll data by country.
  • Display a targeted view that highlights commission-related compensation or executive packages.
The total rewards template consists of:
  • A condition rule that controls which workers can view their statement through the template.
  • The total rewards sections that display on the statement.
To enable employees to view a Total Rewards statement, you must use a Total Rewards rule to associate the template with the appropriate workers. If the rule excludes a worker, Workday doesn’t display the statement on their profile.
  1. Access the
    Create Total Rewards Template
     task.
  2. As you complete this task, consider:
