Compensation Transaction Best Practice

Compensation Transaction Best Practice - Comment Field

Workday recommends that best practice for compensation related transactions is to document detailed information within the ‘Comment’ field. Additional info within the Comment field is critical to assist with the business process action, completion, review, and approval. Comment fields are found on numerous business processes with Workday including Period Activity Pay, Hiring processes, Compensation, One Time Payments, time off requests as well as time entry. You will find fields that allow you to add comments for most of the actions you can take in Workday. An example is shown below.

Additional information can include: 

  • PTAO (split funded or not)
  • If compensation transaction is budgeted
  • If compensation transaction is not budgeted, provide approver name
  • Other information to assist with compensation transaction approval / review
