Study Notes

Compensation Eligibility Rules

  • Compensation eligibility rules dictate employee eligibility for compensation transactions
  • Rules define eligibility based on organization, job profiles, business sites, positions, or class report fields
  • Objectives of learning about these rules include designing them, analyzing effectiveness, identifying placement, and testing rules
  • Compensation can be assigned to employees individually or en masse through transactions or events
  • Compensation eligibility rules automate assignment of compensation components by defaulting using positions, job management, supervisors, job requisitions, or offers
  • Targeting eligible populations is key, with rules potentially varying salaries/plan targets based on location or position
  • Creating these rules has three phases: Planning (determining compensation components for each employee), Actuals (staffing events specify which components apply), and analyzing/adjusting defaults if needed
  • Criteria for eligibility rules: external fields, relational operators, comparison type, comparison values, logic combining conditions, and single/existing rules
  • Compensation data can populate automatically or manually
  • Data source, data usage, and manual entry responsibility should be considered
  • Pay Rate Type and job profiles can be linked for automatic defaults when adding new staff
  • Compensation eligibility rules are used for various goals like assigning unique compensation targets to diverse employee populations, establishing exception rules for reviews, and rolling out/removing compensation plans
  • Testing rules involves selecting an instance and evaluating results (e.g., identifying eligibility for specific employees)
  • Performance considerations include selecting source fields with the fewest instances, prioritizing general rules first, using filters, and employing calculated relationships

Performance Considerations

  • Eligibility rule efficiency depends on numerous factors
  • The ideal order of rules is crucial for efficient evaluation, favoring exclusion conditions first
  • Use source fields with fewer instances
  • Use filters, subfilters, and related objects for efficient data filtering
  • Optimizing eligibility rules improves performance

Eligibility Plan Profile Processing

  • Enhance Workday's performance by enabling Eligibility Rule Plan Profile Processing
  • Performance is improved by processing plan profiles randomly instead of chronologically
  • This minimizes the evaluation of plans for which an employee doesn't meet eligibility criteria
  • This helps in quickly identifying appropriate compensation plan

Knowledge Check

  • The primary purpose of compensation eligibility rules is defining eligible populations for compensation component defaults during staffing
  • Job Profile, Job Family, Job Segments, and Organizations are suitable compensation eligibility rule criteria
  • Compensation eligibility rules can be used for defaulting compensation plans, eligibility for grade profiles, initiating business processes, rolling out/removing plans, and defining compensation partner roles
