Steps: Set Up Mass Operations for Minimum Wage

Steps: Set Up Mass Operations for Minimum Wage

When you first assign an hourly plan to a worker, Workday populates the value of the
Minimum Wage
 field as the default assignment
Amount
 for a worker in a compensation event. This
Amount
value isn’t updated automatically if there are changes to the
Minimum Wage
 field due to:
  • Workday-delivered Payroll Authority Minimum Wage rate updates.
  • Recalculations of the minimum wage configured on the hourly plan.
To automatically update hourly plans that use Payroll Authority Minimum Wage or Calculated Minimum Wage, you can use the
Mass Operational Management
 task to:
  • Help you support compliance by scheduling daily updates for minimum wage rates on hourly plan assignments.
  • Efficiently modify the minimum wage rate for a large number of workers with hourly plans by reducing manual maintenance.
  1. On the
    Create Security Group
     task, select:
    Option Description
    Type of Tenanted Security Group
    Segment-Based Security Group
    Security Groups
    • HR Administrator
    • Compensation Administrator
    Access to Segments
    Hourly Plan Assignment Updates
  2. Edit Domain Security Policies.
    Grant your segment-based security group View and Modify permissions to the
    Mass Operation Management
    domain in the System functional area.
  3. Create a copy of the
    Minimum Wage Audit for Worker Assignments by Position
     standard report.
  4. (Optional) Access the
    Maintain Event Categories and Reasons
     task.
    Define the reason for the
    Request Compensation Change
     event.
    Security:
    Set Up: Staffing
     domain in the Staffing functional area.
  5. Complete the
    Mass Operation Management
     task:
    Option Description
    Mass Operation Type
    Select
    Hourly Plan Assignment Updates for Worker by Position
    .
    Input Report
    Select your copy of the
    Minimum Wage Audit for Worker Assignments by Position
     standard report.
    Run Frequency
    Schedule the desired frequency you want Workday to run the report.
  6. Complete the
    Mass Operation Configuration
     section:
    Option Description
    Validate Only
    Select this check box to only view proposed assignment updates.
    Effective Date
    Enter the date for when you want the compensation event to take effect.
    As-of Date
    Enter the date for when you want the proposed new
    Minimum Wage
     amount to take effect.
    Hourly Plan
    Select at least one hourly plan to update the worker assignments assigned to the plan.
    Action
    When you select
    Adjust to New Defaults
    , Workday assigns the hourly plan value to a worker based on the
    As-of Date
    .
    When you select
    Adjust by Custom Amount
    , enter a flat amount for Workday to use to adjust a worker's hourly assignment without changing the hourly plan default.
    Example: You enter
    5
     for
    Adjust by Custom Amount
     to update Terry's hourly rate from 10.00 USD to 15.00 USD.
    Note: Workday doesn’t process
    Adjust by Custom Amount
     as an override for the worker.
Workday updates minimum wage assignments for all workers on the hourly plans that you selected.
You can view
Positions Processed
 and
Positions Bypassed in the Results
 section of the Mass Operation Management background process to identify workers whose assignments weren’t updated and why.
