Concept: Remove Prior Compensation for Rehires

Concept: Remove Prior Compensation for Rehires

You can unassign all compensation from a terminated worker's previous employment upon rehire to help meet compliance requirements. When you select the
Remove Prior Compensation for Rehires
check box in the
Edit Tenant Setup - HCM
task, Workday doesn't display a rehire's previous compensation in the
Propose Compensation Hire
step of the
Hire
process.
The
Remove Prior Compensation for Rehires
tenant setting doesn't apply to:
  • Hire
    events that were already In Progress before you turn the setting on.
  • Former workers without a record of prior compensation.
  • Hiring or converting contingent workers that have no prior compensation plan assignments.
  • Internal hires processed through the
    Change Job
    process.
When you enable
Remove Prior Compensation for Rehires
, Workday only displays assignments that a worker is eligible for within their position in the
Propose Compensation Hire
process, event details, and in the
Compensation History
and
Worker History
reports. Workday retains a worker's compensation history from their prior assignments and termination, but doesn't display it during the
Hire
process.
Once you enable the tenant setting, you must log out, then log back in to see the change.
