NO.38 Your company would like to automatically increase pay after 12 months of employment, but only after 400 hours worked. What configuration will achieve this on compensation steps?

Select the “Assign first step during compensation proposal” checkbox and set a progression rule that counts 12 months.

Set a progression rule that counts the number of hours worked.

Set a duration of 12 months.

Set a duration of 12 months and a step progression rule that counts the number of hours worked.

InWorkday Compensation, step progression is controlled through a combination ofduration(time-based eligibility) andprogression rules(additional conditions, like hours worked or performance).
Here’s how the scenario breaks down:
* Requirement 1 – 12 months of employment
* Workday supports step duration, where you can specify that an employee must remain at a step for a defined period before being eligible for the next step.
* Setting a duration of12 monthsensures that the employee only becomes eligible for a step increase after completing a year in the role.
* Requirement 2 – 400 hours worked
* Workday allows you to configurestep progression rulesthat evaluate conditions beyond time, such ashours worked, performance ratings, or other calculated fields tied to the worker.
* Aprogression rule counting the number of hours workedensures that the pay increase is not triggered until the employee meets the required 400 hours.
* Why not the other options?
* A. Assign first step during compensation proposal + 12 months rule- This would only apply the first step, but it doesn’t enforce the “400 hours worked” requirement.
* B. Hours worked only- This ignores the requirement of12 months of employment.
* C. Duration of 12 months only- This ignores the requirement of400 hours worked.
Thus, onlyD(duration + step progression rule) satisfiesboth conditions simultaneously.
References (from Workday Pro Compensation knowledge & learning resources):
* Workday Compensation – Step Progression Configuration:Duration enforces time-in-step, while progression rules allow conditions such as hours worked or performance-based eligibility.
* Workday Pro Training Materials (Compensation module):Step increase rules require combining durationwitheligibility/progression conditionsfor multi-criteria automation.
* Workday Community – Compensation Step Progression Guide:Confirms that when multiple criteria must be met (e.g., tenure and hours worked), they must be configured inboth the duration setting and the progression rule logic.
