Reference: Benefits and Pay Hub

The
Benefits and Pay
hub provides a single location for employees to review and maintain their benefits, compensation, payroll information. Employees can also access related reports.
Security:
  • Self-Service: Benefits and Pay Hub
  • Self-Service: Compensation History
Workday controls the visibility of any control or report in the
Benefits and Pay
hub by the security of the related action, report, or business process. Examples:
  • Employees in a security group with access to the
    Self-Service: Benefits (My Tax Documents) - USA
    security domain can view and print their ACA forms.
  • Employees can see the
    Change Retirement Savings
    option if you modify the business process policy for the
    Change Retirement Savings
    business process.
Use the
Maintain Hubs
task to configure the Benefits and Pay hub to display on custom dashboards. See Configure Dashboard Content. You might notice differences in visibility between tenants, such as Preview and Sandbox, if you don't migrate or set up your configuration consistently.
