Free Practice Questions for Workday Workday-Pro-Compensation Exam

The scenario describes acompensation partnerbeing able to assignany allowance plan, even when the employee isnot eligible.

This is controlled by thesecurity domain "Add Compensation Plans: Add Allowance", which allows users with access to bypass eligibility and directly assign allowance plans.

Why not the others?

A. Worker Data: Compensation Plan Type→ Governs visibility to compensation data, not bypassing eligibility.

B. Select Any Compensation Package→ Pertains to choosing packages, not adding allowance plans outside eligibility.

C. Worker Data: Compensation for Managers→ Grants managers ability to propose comp, but does not override eligibility.

In Workday,eligibility rules are optimized by sequencing broader population filters first, followed by narrower ones.

Here:

Organization = 50 employees

Job family = 5 employees

To ensure performance optimization, the system should firstfilter by organizational membership (50), then applyjob family (5).

This reduces the number of workers Workday needs to evaluate at the second step.

Why not the others?

B. Eligibility sequenced automatically→ Not entirely true; sequencing can be configured for optimization.

C. Remove job family→ Would ignore requirements.

D. Job family precedes organization→ Less efficient, because it would start from 5 but miss optimal evaluation across 50 employees.

The design requires thatemployees only progress if they do NOT have poor performance (rating = 1).

Thus:

Step 1= entry, no condition needed.

Step 2 and Step 3require conditional logic:Performance rating ≠ 1.

This ensures employees can only progress beyond Step 1 if their performance is above “poor.”

Why not the others?

A. All steps require condition logic rating = 1→ Would block all progress (wrong condition).

C. Step 1 and 2 require ≠ 1→ Step 1 is the baseline, no condition required.

D. Step 1 and 2 require rating = 1→ Opposite of requirement, would keep poor performers eligible.

To retire or replace an existingbonus plan, you need to mass-remove it from all employees currently assigned.

The standard Workday task for this isRemove Compensation Plans from Employees, which allows you to:

Select thecompensation planto remove.

Apply aneligibility ruleto identify affected employees.

This is efficient and ensures employees no longer carry the outdated plan.

Why not the others?

A. Mark plan inactive→ Prevents new assignments but doesn’t remove existing employee assignments.

C. Request Bonus Payment web service→ Used for issuing payments, not removing plans.

D. Change Job→ Not appropriate for mass plan removal.

The employee is afull-time support analyst in Mexico City.

The relevant bases are:

Total Pay (Mexico)→ For Mexican employees.

Total Compensation Non-Sales→ For non-sales, full-time employees globally.

Since the employee qualifies forboth, theranking determines priority.

Ranking:

(10) India

(20) Non-Sales

(30) Sales

(40) Mexico

Normally, thelowest ranking number (highest priority)applies. But becausegeography-based bases (Mexico)are more specific,Total Pay (Mexico)becomes the primary basis despite being ranked 40.

Why not the others?

B. Salary and Seniority→ Unranked, only applies when no ranked basis fits.

C. Sales→ Not a sales role.

D. Non-Sales→ Qualified, but Mexico-specific basis takes precedence.

When multiplecompensation basesapply to an employee, Workday selects theprimary basisbased onranking (lowest number = highest priority).

Rankings here:

International = 2

Sales = 3

Therefore,Management Compensationis the primary basis.

Why not the others?

B. Sales Compensation→ Ranked lowest (3).

C. International Compensation→ Ranked 2, lower than Management.

D. Total Base Pay→ Not listed among eligible ranked bases here.
