Set Up Adjustments to Compensation Grades Assigned to Job Profiles

Set Up Adjustments to Compensation Grades Assigned to Job Profiles

  • Configure the
    Set Up Compensation Grade Job Profile Adjustment
     business process.
  • Define reasons for
    Request Compensation Change
     event using the
    Maintain Event Categories and Reasons
     task.
You can update the grade assigned to:
  • A job profile.
  • Employees in that job profile.
Workday doesn't update employees in a grade step.
  1. Access the
    Set Up Compensation Grade Job Profile Adjustment
     task.
  2. Select the
    Job Profile
    .
    If the job profile you want to adjust already has an adjustment in progress, it won't be available for selection.
    Workday calculates and displays:
    Employees in this Grade
    • Identifies all positions that have the selected job profile.
    • Identifies employees in those positions.
    • Identifies employees that have the same grade as that on the job profile.
    • Excludes employees in a compensation step.
    Employees not in this Grade
    • Identifies all positions that have the selected job profile.
    • Identifies employees in those positions.
    • Identifies employees that have a grade that doesn't match the one on the job profile.
    Employees with an In Progress Event
    Workday doesn't process these employees. Complete the in-progress event and then reprocess these employees.
  3. Select the
    Allowed Actions
     for
    Employees not in this Grade
    .
    This applies only when you assign employees to the plan.
    Option Description
    Adjust to New Grade
    Workday sets the assigned value to the new default.
    Do Not Adjust
    Workday makes no changes to the values assigned to the employee's compensation.
  4. In the
    Proposed Grade
     section, enter the
    Grade
     you want to associate with the job profile.
Once approved, the process:
  • Updates the job profile with the new grade.
  • Assigns the grade to the employees and uses eligibility rules to determine if an employee qualifies for a grade profile.
  • Creates compensation events using the entered
    Event Name
     for each impacted employee.
An employee living in Atlanta has a job profile called Individual Contributor. The grade associated with the job profile is called Level 1. Level 1 has 3 grade profiles: Boston, Chicago, and Detroit. The employee doesn't qualify for any of the grade profiles.
Change the grade associated with the job profile to the grade called IC Level 1. IC Level 1 has 2 grade profiles: Atlanta and San Francisco.
When you run the process, the employee receives the same job profile with the new grade called IC Level 1. However, the eligibility rules associated with the grade qualifies the employee for the grade profile called Atlanta.
