Smart Test for Workday Advanced Compensation is here
Today, Kainos has launched Smart Test for Workday Advanced Compensation, which provides automated test coverage for your compensation cycles within Workday.
Workday Advanced Compensation gives you the flexibility to reward employees for a job well done, maximise workforce engagement and satisfaction, and attract talented new hires. But flexibility can introduce complexity.
With requirements and rules changing right up to and during the test cycle of the compensation review process, the risk of error increases dramatically, and the worst-case scenario of an employee not receiving their correct award becomes a real possibility.
Manually testing the processes that ensure that employees receive the correct rewards, from salary increases to bonus and stock awards, is almost impossible. Smart Test provides support at these busy periods by reducing risks to ensure that Workday Advanced Compensation works as intended
Smart Test automates testing for:
Plan eligibility & defaults: Confirms the correct merit, bonus and stock plans default when required–during the creation of a new Job Requisition, or Position, during the job application, or when the worker is hired or goes through a job change.
Compensation grid validations: Ensures that the correct validation errors appear for employees within the planning grid or for budget pool limits.
Calculations: Confirms your complex calculation configuration setup on each merit, bonus and stock plan—including proration, compensation matrices, waiting periods and rounding rules
Coordination of Events: Checks that only the allowed parallel events can still occur when your compensation review process is in progress, helping you to understand the impact that each event has to budget pools, your workforce and their awards.
Do your compensation SMEs feel overwhelmed every compensation cycle?
