Review Promotions in Compensation Reviews

Security:
Process: Compensation Management Plan Employee Management
domain in the Advanced Compensation functional area.
You can select promotions for further review as part of an in-progress compensation review process.
  1. Access the
    Review Promotions in Merit
    task.
  2. Select an in-progress
    Compensation Review Event
    .
  3. Select 1 or more
    Organizations
    and optionally select whether to
    Include Subordinate Organizations
    .
  4. (Optional) Select 1 or more
    Job Profiles
    .
  5. Select a display option:
    Option Description
    Only Promotions with Requested Reviews
    Displays only those promotions previously selected for review.
    Only Promotions without Requested Reviews
    Displays only those promotions not previously selected for review.
    None of the Above
    Displays all promotions.
  6. Select the promotions for review.
    Workday routes selected promotions to the
    Change Job
    business process only after you submit merit award proposals. Workday stores your selections in case you access this task on multiple occasions.
  7. (Optional) In the
    Change Job
    business process, add an entry condition rule for steps not to execute when the promotion originates from a compensation review process:
    Source External Field or Condition Rule
    Initiated by Compensation Review Process
    Relational Operator
    Is blank
    Comparison Type
    Value specified in this filter
  8. In the
    Change Job
    business process, verify that the
    Propose Compensation Change
    step doesn't automatically complete after initiation when it originates from the compensation review process.
    This is to prevent Workday from applying the promotion increase before the merit increase and additional adjustment. If the same person is both the initiator and reviewer, Workday might apply the promotion increase before the merit increase and additional adjustment. To avoid automatic approval, update the entry condition rule on the
    Review Compensation Change
    step.
