Roll Out Compensation Plans to Employees

Roll Out Compensation Plans to Employees

  • Create compensation plans.
  • Security:
    Process: Compensation Plan Employee Management
    domain in the Core Compensation functional area.
You can assign, or roll out, compensation plans to a group of target employees. This process bypasses reviews and approvals, enabling you to assign plans to employees immediately.
You can use the
Rollout Compensation Plans to Employees
task to assign compensation plans of all types except hourly and salary. To assign hourly and salary plans, use the
Request Compensation Change
task or web service.
  1. Access the
    Rollout Compensation Plans to Employees
    task.
  2. Select an
    Effective Date
    .
    Workday generates
    Request Compensation Change
    process events that assign the plans you select to the target employees on this date.
  3. Select the
    Compensation Plans
    to assign.
  4. (Optional) Enter an
    Expected End Date
    and an
    Actual End Date
    .
    Actual End Date
    displays only if
    Enable Actual End Date
    is selected on the
    Edit Tenant Setup - HCM
    task.
    The
    Expected End Date
    is an estimate for when the employee's assignment to a salary, hourly, or allowance plan ends. To remove compensation plans from employees based on the
    Expected End Date
    , access the
    Schedule Remove Compensation Plans with Expected End Date
    task.
    If you enter an
    Actual End Date
    , Workday automatically removes the compensation plan assignment from the employee at 11:59:59 PM on that date. If there are future-dated events, Workday doesn't remove the plan assignment.
    The
    Schedule Remove Compensation Plans with Expected End Date
    task ignores compensation plan assignments with an
    Actual End Date
    . Workday only removes employees from compensation plan assignments on this schedule if there's no
    Actual End Date
    configured for the compensation plan assignment.
  5. Select the employees to assign the specified plans, either
    By Compensation Eligibility Rule
    or
    By Selected Employees
    .
    If you use the
    By Selected Employees
    option, Workday lists the first 50 employees. Workday doesn't list any individual employees selected using
    By Compensation Eligibility Rule
    .
As of the effective date specified, Workday generates a
Request Compensation Change
event for the target employees and adds a row to their compensation history.
Access the
View Compensation Plan Rollout Process
report to view complete lists of the affected employees. The
Employees receiving Compensation Plan
field displays the eligible or selected employees that are affected. The
Employees not receiving Compensation Plan
field displays the eligible or selected employees that are unaffected.
