  • Automatically schedule a review based on probation period rules.
  • Automatically initiate related tasks based on the outcome and action that you select during the review.
  1. Set up security for the:
    • Initiating actions on the
      Manage Probation Period
      business process policy.
    • Initiating actions on the
      Review Probation Period
      business process policy.
    • (Optional)
      Terminate for Review Probation Period
      initiating action on the
      Termination
      business process policy.
  2. Set up the
    Review Probation Period
    business process.
    Ensure that you configure the relevant steps for actions you want to select during the probation review.
    Add the
    Submit Probation Period Review
    step to select an outcome and an action during the review.
    If you configure the
    Complete Questionnaire
    step before the
    Submit Probation Period Review
    step, you can view questionnaire responses on the
    Submit Probation Period Review
    step.

    Staffing
    area of the
    Maintain Localization Settings
    task to enable reviews, outcomes, and actions:
    • Probation Period: Action
    • Probation Period: Review
    • Probation Period: Outcome

    task.
    Create probation period outcomes and select the available actions.

    Schedule Review (Time before probation end date)
    column. Workday calculates the worker's probation review date as 2018-08-30.
