The Compensation Rule Assignment report is designed to provide a configuration-level view of compensation components and the eligibility rules assigned to them . This report lists all compensation plans—such as salary plans, allowance plans, bonus plans, and one-time payments—that reference an eligibility rule.

This report is especially useful for:

Impact analysis before modifying eligibility rules

Auditing which compensation components rely on shared rules

Understanding eligibility dependencies across compensation configuration

The Employee Compensation Audit focuses on worker assignments, not configuration. Compensation Changes tracks transactional history. Compensation Spreadsheets are manual tools and do not reflect rule usage.

Therefore, the correct report for identifying all compensation components using eligibility rules is Compensation Rule Assignment , making option B correct.

The correct answer is Filter .

In Workday reporting, filters are used to narrow down report results based on specific data criteria, such as location, supervisory organization, or worker type. By applying a filter condition to include only workers whose location equals Toronto or Montreal , the report output dynamically restricts data to meet those parameters.

Filters can be added to both custom and advanced reports and can include multiple conditions combined with logical operators (AND/OR). Unlike Sort (which arranges results in a specific order) or Share (which defines who can view or edit the report), a Filter directly controls which data rows appear in the report output, ensuring that only relevant workers are displayed.

The Compensation Spreadsheet is a powerful Workday reporting and analysis tool that allows managers and HR partners to view detailed compensation information for employees across one or more organizations they manage or support. It supports side-by-side viewing of key metrics, including:

Total base pay

Compensation package

Compa-ratio

Position in range

Allowances and bonuses

The spreadsheet format is specifically designed for managerial review, planning, and analysis , with optional inclusion of subordinate organizations. It is widely used during compensation review cycles and off-cycle analysis.

Other reports have more limited scope:

Employee Compensation Audit focuses on eligibility mismatches

Job Profile reports focus on structure, not worker-level pay

Total Rewards is employee-facing and not manager-analytic

Therefore, the correct answer is Compensation Spreadsheet , making option D correct.

In Workday, the Review Step within a business process is specifically designed to enable a user to review, edit, and approve information that was submitted by the initiator. This step allows designated participants to view the transaction details, make permissible edits, and approve or send it back for correction. It serves as an intermediate checkpoint before final approval or completion, ensuring data accuracy and compliance with policy.

By contrast, the Approval Step (Option C) only permits approval or denial — it does not allow data modification. The Consolidated Approval Step (Option B) groups multiple approval steps for simplification but also lacks edit functionality. The Integration Step (Option D) is used for system integrations and automated data transfers, not for user data review.

Thus, the Review Step uniquely provides both review and edit capabilities, which makes it ideal for validating and refining information early in the process lifecycle.
