Concept: Goal Net Attainment Calculation

Concept: Goal Net Attainment Calculation

You can manually calculate goal net attainment for employee reviews, or you can have Workday calculate it using 1 of these methods:
  • Target Only
  • Single Slope
  • Dual Slope
These calculations are for both positive and negative slopes.

Target Only

Workday includes these fields in the calculation:
  • Actual
  • Target
Calculation: Actual/Target

Single Slope

Workday includes these fields in the calculation:
  • Minimum
  • Maximum
  • Actual
Calculation:
  • If Min <= Actual <Max OR Max < Actual <= Min
    • Attainment = Calculated point between Min and Max
  • If Min <= Max <= Actual OR Actual <= Max <= Min
    • Attainment = Max %
  • Any other case:
    • Attainment = 0%

Dual Slope

Workday includes these fields in the calculation:
  • Minimum
  • Target
  • Maximum
  • Actual
Calculation:
  • If Min <=Actual <= Target OR Target <= Actual <= Min
    • Attainment = Calculated point between Min and Target
  • If Target <= Actual <= Max OR Max < Actual <= Target
    • Attainment = Calculated point between Target and Max
  • If Target <= Max <= Actual OR Actual <= Max <= Target
    • Attainment = Max %
  • Any other case:
    • Attainment = 0%
