Complete Severance Package Assignments

Complete Severance Package Assignments

Assign severance packages to employees.
To complete the severance package, you must record the:
  • Date that you presented the severance package to the employee.
  • Date by which the employee must accept or decline the severance package.
  • The actual date the employee accepts or declines the severance package.
If you want this step to complete only if specific information is entered, add validations to the
Deliver Severance Worksheet
step of the
Severance Worksheet
business process.
  1. Access the
    My Tasks
    item for
    Severance Worksheet
    .
  2. In the
    Severance Actions
    section, consider:
    Option Description
    Send to Payroll
    If selected, Workday uses the
    Severance Worksheet
    to:
    • Populate data in the
      Termination
      process, unless a termination process is already in place for the employee.
    • Create compensation events for the employee's severance.
    You can only select
    Send to Payroll
    on 1 severance worksheet per employment.
    If left blank, Workday won't associate the severance worksheet with the
    Termination
    process or generate compensation events.
