Request Compensation Change

Notes:

Use the Request Compensation Change process to update compensation for an employee without changing their job details. This business process is only for updating compensation.
This includes changing or adding allowances, or base salary.

Enter the Worker's Name that needs a compensation change in the Search bar and select the Worker.
The Worker Profile displays.
Select Actions under the employee's name and job title in their Worker Profile.
Hover over Compensation under Actions and select Request Compensation Change.

5. The Request Compensation Change pop up displays.

Note: Please review the Data Entry Considerations:
Data Entry Considerations

- Compensation Actual End Date must match the End Employment Date (for all fixed term and temporary employees)
- Compensation plan frequency must match the worker's pay rate type - salary or hourly
- Only one salary or hourly plan can be assigned to a worker's position (except for transitional terminal compensation or acting capacity compensation)
- Proposed base pay cannot be more than the maximum of the pay range of the compensation grade
- Period Activity Pay is the primary form of compensation for adjunct faculty and graduate students- do not use this process for this population.

Change Default Compensation

Notes:

- Default Compensation Change is a sub-process of Create Position and Edit Position Restrictions.
- The Default Compensation process routes to the initiator of the Create Position and Edit Position Restrictions processes to suggest compensation for the position in question.

You are accessing this process from My Tasks	Select the Default Compensation Change task from the Actions tab in My Tasks.
You are accessing this process from the Up Next page	Select Open on the Up Next Page.

2. The Effective Date automatically populates.

Note: Since this is the date that Workday uses to process events for the employee, it is important for this date to stay the same.

3. Use the following table to determine your next step:

Note: The pay type defaults from the job profile. The amount entered determines how much the position
is budgeted for (not necessarily the same as an employee's salary).

If…	Then…
The position is for a salaried employee	Select the Pencil to edit the Salary section.
The position is for an hourly employee	Select the Pencil in the Hourly section.

4. Enter the Dollar Amount in the Amount field.
