- A single job, Workday applies gross-to-net proration.
- Multiple jobs, Workday applies pay component proration.
When calculating subperiod results for a worker with multiple jobs, Workday prorates both position and worker-based pay components.
When you switch a worker's primary job midperiod, Workday assigns the
