Concept: Access to Job Profiles

Concept: Access to Job Profiles

This topic is relevant to the legacy change job experience. We plan to retire this topic in a future release.
The
Change Job
 business process provides access to job profiles and related compensation data based on these considerations.

Availability of Hiring Restrictions

When you use the stand-alone
Change Job
 business process, you can access job profiles if restrictions exist, and you meet those restrictions. If restrictions don't exist, you can access job profiles only if:
  • A worker remains in the same position.
  • You move a worker to a new position, and you select the
    Allow Override of Restrictions on Staffing Events
     check box in the
    Edit Tenant Setup - HCM
     task.
  • There aren't any restrictions, in which case, you can access all job profiles.

Compensation Details

Because compensation eligibility rules are often linked to job profiles, Workday enables you to restrict access to compensation data by creating hiring restrictions. If you consolidate
Change Job
 with
Propose Compensation Change
, you can view compensation details if you meet at least one of these conditions:
  • Hiring restrictions don't exist.
  • Hiring restrictions exist and you select a job profile that meets those restrictions.
  • Hiring restrictions exist and you have permission on the
    Staffing Actions: All Job Profiles with Compensation
     domain.
When you configure compensation details to display based on supervisory organization, Workday only uses the proposed supervisory organization.

Job Requisitions

If you use job requisitions, you can't select a different job profile for a worker who remains in the same position. Update the job requisition or the hiring restrictions to include the additional job profile before you launch the
Change Job
 task:
  • If the worker's position has an open job requisition, use the
    Edit Job Requisition
     task to add other job profiles to the requisition.
  • If the worker's position doesn't have an open job requisition, use the
    Edit Position Restrictions
     task to add other job profiles to the hiring restrictions.
Optionally, you can select the
Allow Override of Restrictions on Staffing Events
 check box in the
Edit Tenant Setup - HCM
 task. This setting enables you to access job profiles that aren't part of the hiring restrictions on the job requisition.
