Steps: Manage External Compensation Survey Results

Steps: Manage External Compensation Survey Results

Set up compensation survey vendors, products, and the job catalog.
After you've set up compensation survey vendors, products, and the job catalog, configure survey:
  • Components.
  • Custom fields.
  • Percentiles.
  • Result sets.
  • Scopes.
Then run the
Import Compensation Survey Job Results
web service.
  1. Access the
    Maintain Compensation Survey Components
    task.
    Enter 1 or more compensation survey components and their order.
    Example: Base Pay, Bonus, Total Cash.
    Enter the
    Reference ID
    or
    Workday ID
    of the compensation components you created into the
    First Component
    through
    Sixth Component
    columns of the
    Import Compensation Survey Job Results
    EIB.
    If you need to load more than 6 compensation components, run the
    Import Compensation Survey Job Results
    web service more than once.
    Security:
    Set Up: Compensation Survey Results
    domain.
  2. (Optional) Access the
    Maintain Compensation Survey Result Custom Fields
    task.
    This step is unnecessary if you used loaded compensation benchmark cycles.
    Enter 1 or more custom fields, and consider:
    Option Description
    Numeric
    The custom field is always a numeric value. Example: the Number of Employees custom field is always numeric.
    Inherit Currency Type from Compensation Component
    Inherits the currency type from the compensation component.
    Example: If the compensation component is Base Pay, the Average custom field is a currency. If the component is Bonus Target Percent, the Average custom field isn't a currency.
    Enter the
    Reference ID
    or
    Workday ID
    of the custom fields you created in the
    First Custom Type
    through
    Fourth Custom Type
    columns of the
    Import Compensation Survey Job Results
    EIB.
    If you need to load more than 4 custom fields per compensation component, run the
    Import Compensation Survey Job Results
    web service more than once. You can also use percentile fields to store custom fields.
    Security:
    Set Up: Compensation Survey Results
    domain.
  3. Access the
    Maintain Compensation Survey Result Percentiles
    task.
    Enter 1 or more percentile name and value rows. Use only integers to represent each percentile value. Example: Enter 25th for the
    Percentile Name
    and 25 for the
    Percentile Value
    .
    Alternatively, you can use the
    Import Compensation Survey Job Results
    EIB and web service. Enter the
    Reference ID
    or
    Workday ID
    of the percentile fields you created in the
    First Percentile
    through
    Fifth Percentile
    columns. If you need to load more than 5 percentiles per compensation component, run the
    Import Compensation Survey Job Results
    web service more than once. You can also use custom fields to store percentiles.
    Security:
    Set Up: Compensation Survey Results
    domain.
  4. (Optional) Access the
    Maintain Compensation Survey Result Sets
    task.
    This step is unnecessary if you used loaded compensation benchmark cycles.
    For each survey, enter 1 or more result set names and effective dates.
    Example: A compensation survey releases results quarterly. Enter:
    • Q1 2020 and 01/01/2020.
    • Q2 2020 and 04/01/2020.
    • Q3 2020 and 07/01/2020.
    • Q4 2020 and 10/01/2020.
    Security:
    Set Up: Compensation Survey Results
    domain.
  5. (Optional) Access the
    Maintain Compensation Survey Scopes
    task.
    This step is unnecessary if you use loaded compensation benchmark cycles.
    For each vendor, enter 1 or more compensation survey scopes. For each survey scope, you can select 1 or more eligibility rules. Example: If the survey results of this scope apply only to employees in the San Francisco Bay Area, enter:
    • San Francisco Bay Area
      for the scope, and
    • Location is San Francisco Bay Area
      for the eligibility rule.
    When configuring a calculated benchmark cycle, you can select survey result scopes to apply specific survey results to a benchmark profile.
    Security:
    Set Up: Compensation Survey Results
    domain.
  6. (Optional) Run the
    Import Compensation Survey Job Results
    web service to load survey results.
    This step is unnecessary if you used loaded compensation benchmark cycles.
