You can enable a worker's time off or leave to impact their next step progression target date. Based on the step's eligibility rules, grace period, and time off or leave impacts, Workday calculates an adjusted
Next Step Progression Target Date
 on the worker's profile.
  1. Access the
    Edit Step Progression Configuration
     task.
    Select the
    Enable Time Off and Leave Event Adjustments
     check box in the
    Time Offs and Leave Types
     tab.
  2. Access the
    Maintain Absence Type Code Mapping
     task.
    Map the time off and leave events that you want to impact step progression to the impact code
    Step Progression
    . You can only map time offs and leave types configured in hours to step progression.
  3. (Optional) Access the
    Maintain Compensation Steps
     task and configure the
    Grace Period Interval
     and
    Grace Period Type
     of time off and leave events for each step.
    Grace periods enable you to indicate the number of hours or workweeks a worker can accumulate applicable time off or leave before Workday adjusts their
    Next Step Progression Target Date
    . You can't assign a different grace period by leave type, time off, or location. The grace period is configured at the step level and all configured time offs and leaves impact the step progression equally.
Workday takes the total amount of approved leave and time off hours taken by the worker and tied to the step progression impact code, and adjusts the
Next Step Progression Target Date
 to a later date. This evaluation occurs continuously as time off and leave hours are approved.
A worker on compensation step 5 has a next step progression target date of June 1. He takes 2 months off work with a leave type tied to the
Step Progression
 impact code. His current step has a grace period of 1 month. Workday adjusts his next step progression target date to July 1.
