Steps: Manage External Compensation Surveys, Job Catalog, and Job Matches

Steps: Manage External Compensation Surveys, Job Catalog, and Job Matches

You can add new and manage existing compensation survey vendors, their products, and their surveys.
Managing compensation surveys is:
  • Required if you use calculated external compensation survey benchmark cycles. In this case, you configure how Workday calculates the compensation benchmark.
  • Unnecessary if you only use loaded external compensation survey benchmark cycles. For loaded benchmark cycles, you calculate benchmark data outside of Workday and load it using a web service.
  1. Access the
    Maintain Compensation Survey Vendors and Products
     task.
    Add 1 or more
    Vendor
     and
    Product
     combinations. Each vendor can have 1 or more products. You can't remove vendors and products if you've created compensation surveys for them.
    You can click
    Usage Count
     to see where the product is used.
    Security:
    Set Up: Compensation Surveys and Survey Jobs
     domain.
  2. Access the
    Maintain Compensation Surveys
     task.
    1. Select a
      Vendor
      .
    2. Select a
      Product
      .
    3. Add 1 or more
      Survey Date
       and
      Survey Name
       rows.
      You can delete a row as long as there are no associated jobs.
    4. Add 1 or more
      Compensation Eligibility Rules
       for each row, if necessary.
      Eligibility rules associate positions or job requisitions in Workday to surveys, job details, or job specialties. If you add more than 1 compensation eligibility rule per row, Workday associates positions or job requisitions with the survey when they meet any 1 rule.
      If you don't set up eligibility rules:
      • On a compensation survey, all employees qualify for that survey.
      • On a match between a survey job and a job profile, Workday matches all employees on the job profile to the survey job.
      Security:
      Set Up: Compensation Surveys and Survey Jobs
       domain.
  3. Create and update the survey job catalog with these web services:
    • Import Compensation Survey Job Details
      .
    • Put Compensation Survey Job Detail
       to load a survey job catalog.
    Security:
    Set Up: Compensation Surveys and Survey Jobs
     domain.
  4. Match survey jobs with Workday job profiles.
    You can do this on the
    Edit Compensation Survey Job Matches
     task. If you've enabled machine learning for compensation benchmark job matching, Workday makes machine learning recommendations.
    You can also match survey jobs with Workday job profiles using the
    Put Compensation Survey Job Matches
     web service.
    The
    Find Compensation Survey Jobs
     task provides multiple criteria by which you can identify survey jobs for matching.
    On the
    Edit Compensation Survey Job Matches
     task, select surveys and as you add 1 or more job matches, consider:
    Option Description
    Job Profile
    Select a Workday job profile to match to compensation survey jobs.
    Include Matches from Surveys
    Select the surveys you want to assign job matches for the job profile.
    Survey
    Select 1 of the surveys ones you selected previously.
    Survey Job
    Select a job from the survey.
    Job Match Eligibility Rules
    Select 1 or more job match eligibility rules. The job match only applies to employees or job requisitions that meet an eligibility rule.
    With the
    Put Compensation Survey Job Matches
     web service, consider:
    To accomplish this...
    Do this...
    Match a survey job in the survey to a Workday job profile.
    Enter 1 line with the survey job from the survey and the Workday job profile.
    Delete a match between a survey job in the survey and a Workday job profile.
    Enter the survey job without the Workday job profile.
    Match a survey job in the survey to multiple Workday job profiles.
    Enter multiple lines with the survey job from the survey for each Workday job profile.
    Match multiple survey jobs to a Workday job profile.
    Enter multiple lines with each survey job from the survey and the Workday job profile.
    • Match the same survey job to different job profiles in different locations.
    • Match workers, positions, or job requisitions in a specific organization or location to a survey job.
    Enter compensation eligibility rules for the job detail or subdetail.
    The compensation survey job detail or subdetail matches only workers, positions, or job requisitions that meet 1 or more compensation eligibility rules.
    The
    Put Compensation Survey Job Matches
     web service updates or appends existing job matches in Workday. Only the job matches you add or change affect existing job match data.
