Concept: Zero Increase Fields in Compensation Reviews

If an employee is eligible for an award, but receives no recommendation (zero), Workday cancels the event by default. Workday only displays the event to users with security access to see cancelled events and doesn't include cancelled events on the Compensation Review Statement.

To override the default behavior, add 1 or more of these fields, set to Editable, to your grid configuration:

Merit Zero Increase
Bonus Zero Increase
Stock Zero Increase

The planner can then select Yes for these fields during the compensation review. The default is No. When a worker is eligible for an award but receives a zero recommendation, selecting Yes for these fields results in:

A successfully completed event displaying an award amount of 0 (zero).
A Compensation Review Statement displaying an award amount of 0 (zero).

Workday recommends using these validations if you use 1 or more of the zero increase fields on your grid configuration:

If the recommendation is 0 and the zero increase field is No, ask the planner to either enter a recommendation or change the zero increase field to Yes.
If the recommendation isn't 0 and the zero increase field is Yes, ask the planner to either enter a recommendation of 0 or change the zero increase field to No.
