• Question 11:

  What action can you take after a business process completes?

  A. Cancel
  B. Reassign
  C. Rescind
  D. Delegate
  C. Rescind

  ---

  After a business process completes in Workday, the valid corrective action that can be taken is to Rescind the process. The Rescind action allows an authorized user (typically with HR Partner or BP Administrator access) to reverse the completed business process, effectively undoing the transaction and restoring the system to its prior state.

  This is often used when incorrect data was entered, or when the transaction was completed prematurely. Rescinding a process automatically generates related rescind events and notifications, ensuring system integrity.

  Option A (Cancel) applies to in-progress business processes only -- it stops a process before completion.

  Option B (Reassign) allows task ownership changes while a process is active but not after completion. Option D (Delegate) is a security feature for work delegation, not a post-completion action.

  Thus, Rescind is the only valid corrective action once a BP is finalized.

• Question 12:

  You created a Role-Based (Constrained) security group and a User-Based security group. Both security groups have access to approve compensation changes. What access will members of each group have?

  A. Role-Based (Constrained) can approve compensation of workers they are assigned to support. User- Based can approve compensation of all workers.
  B. Both security groups can approve compensation of all workers.
  C. Role-Based (Constrained) can approve the compensation of all workers. User-Based can approve the compensation of workers they are assigned to support.
  D. Both security groups can approve compensation of all workers they are assigned to support.
  A. Role-Based (Constrained) can approve compensation of workers they are assigned to support. User- Based can approve compensation of all workers.

  ---

  The correct answer is A - Role-Based (Constrained) can approve compensation of workers they are assigned to support. User-Based can approve compensation of all workers.

  In Workday, Role-Based (Constrained) security groups restrict access based on an assigned organization or supervisory hierarchy. Members of a constrained role (such as Compensation Partner) can perform actions-- like approving compensation changes--only for workers within their assigned supervisory organizations.

  Conversely, User-Based security groups are not tied to an organization unless specifically constrained, and typically have unconstrained, tenant-wide access. When both security groups have access to the same domain or business process (e.g., "Approve Compensation Change"), the User-Based group can approve changes for all workers, while the Role-Based (Constrained) group's access is limited by their assigned scope.

• Question 13:

  You want all managers to approve both hire details and proposed compensation. The consolidated approval chain step displays after Propose Compensation and the completion step, Review Employee Hire. What statement describes the action that happens next?

  A. You receive a warning because the consolidated approval chain step should be the completion step.
  B. You receive a critical error because the step order should be Review Employee Hire, Propose Compensation (completion step), and then consolidated approval chain.
  C. You receive a critical error because the consolidated approval chain step should be the completion step.
  D. You execute the business process successfully to meet the business need.
  C. You receive a critical error because the consolidated approval chain step should be the completion step.

  (Paraphrased from Workday Pro HCM Core - Business Process Configuration Guide 2023R2):

  A Consolidated Approval Chain Step allows multiple approval actions within a business process to be combined into a single, streamlined approval task. However, this stepmust be the final step before the completion step in a business process.

  If the Consolidated Approval Chain appears after the completion step, Workday will trigger a critical error because the step order violates the BP framework rules. The system expects the consolidated approval to act as the last step to ensure that all approvals are received before the event finalizes.

  Therefore, Option C is correct -- a critical error occurs because the Consolidated Approval Chain Step must immediately precede the completion step, not follow it.

• Question 14:

  Which staffing model requires each role to be created as a discrete position before a worker can be hired?

  A. Job Management
  B. Matrix Management
  C. Position Management
  D. Organization Management
  C. Position Management

  ---

  The correct answer is C - Position Management.

  In the Position Management staffing model, each position exists as a separate object that must be created, approved, and opened before hiring can occur. This model provides greater control over headcount, vacancies, and time-to-fill reporting.

  Job Management allows multiple workers to be hired under a job without individual positions, while Matrix and Organization Management are not staffing models used for hiring control.

• Question 15:

  Which of these are examples of user-based security groups (Select two correct answers.) ?

  A. Security Administrator
  B. Compensation Partner
  C. HR Administrator
  D. Managers
  A. Security Administrator
  C. HR Administrator

  ---

  From the Workday Module 2 Binder :

  "User-based security groups include roles such as Security Administrator and HR Administrator. These are assigned directly to individual users and determine their access and capabilities within the tenant."

  -Workday Module 2 Binder, Security Configuration Section

  User-Based Security Groupsare directly assigned to specific users, rather than based on roles or job positions.

  Security Administratorand HR Administrator are classic examples -- they're given to individual users based on need or access level.

  Compensation Partnerand Managers are role-based security groups, which are tied to a worker's role within an organization, not directly to a user.

• Question 16:

  Refer to the following scenario to answer the question below.

  You need to group members of multiple organizations to track and report on revenue and expense-related financial transactions.

  What task allows you to assign someone to lead the members of a new organization?

  A. Assign Roles
  B. Edit Name/Code
  C. Change Visibility
  D. Create Position
  A. Assign Roles

  ---

  The correct task to assign someone as a leader of a new organization is "Assign Roles." In Workday, each organization (e.g., Cost Center, Company, Supervisory Organization) can have one or more roles assigned to manage that organization's transactions and activities. These roles might include Manager, HR Partner, Finance Partner, etc.

  When creating a new organization or modifying an existing one, the "Assign Roles" task is used to designate the individuals who will hold specific responsibilities over that organization. This action ensures proper workflow routing, approvals, and visibility across business processes like Staffing, Compensation, and Financials. This is essential for cross-functional reporting and financial oversight.

• Question 17:

  What options are available when configuring a business process notification?

  A. Sender based on Workday Account
  B. On exit
  C. Trigger on In Progress
  D. Recipient based on Workday Account
  D. Recipient based on Workday Account

  ---

  When configuring Business Process Notifications in Workday, administrators can define the recipient based on a specific Workday Account. This allows precise targeting of individuals or security groups (e.g., HR Partner, Manager, or specific role-based accounts) who should receive the notification.

  Option D is correct because "Recipient based on Workday Account" ensures the system routes the notification to the appropriate user or group dynamically, based on the context of the business event. This is essential for process transparency and timely action.

  Option A (Sender based on Workday Account) is incorrect -- the sender is system-defined ("Workday Notification"), not configurable by user account.

  Option B (On exit) and Option C (Trigger on In Progress) are not valid notification configuration options; triggers are defined by process status changes such as "Awaiting Action," "Completed," or "Denied."

• Question 18:

  What must your client do before they can start hiring within a position management staffing model supervisory organization?

  A. Use the Edit Staffing Model task to select the staffing model.
  B. Have an open, approved position.
  C. Set hiring restrictions on the supervisory organization.
  D. Have at least one member hired into the supervisory organization.
  B. Have an open, approved position.

  ---

  The correct answer is B - Have an open, approved position.

  In Workday's Position Management staffing model, each hire is tied to a specific position. Before a worker can be hired, a position must exist, be opened, and be approved through the appropriate business process.

  Once a position is approved, it becomes available for the Hire Add Job or process. Without an approved position, no worker can be assigned under that supervisory organization. The position serves as the structural foundation for trackingheadcount, job details, and time-to-fill metrics.

  Options and refer to configuration prerequisites, but the question specifically focuses on the operational A C readiness to hire. Option is incorrect because a hire cannot occur until after a position exists. D

• Question 19:

  You want the company organization to default in when you hire workers. What task should you run from the supervisory organization to accomplish this?

  A. Edit Supervisory Organization
  B. Create Position
  C. Edit Name/Code
  D. Assign Roles
  A. Edit Supervisory Organization

  ---

  Comprehensive and Detailed

  (Paraphrased from Workday Pro HCM Core - Organizations Configuration Guide, 2023R2):

  To have the Company Organization automatically default when hiring workers into a supervisory organization, you must update the organization settings through the Edit Supervisory Organization task.

  This task allows you to define default organization assignments, including Company Cost Center Region,,, and Custom Organizations. Once these defaults are set, Workday automatically populates these values during staffing events such as Hire Add Job or, reducing manual entry and ensuring consistent data alignment across the hierarchy.

  Option B (Create Position) is used to define positions within the supervisory org, not defaults.

  Option C (Edit Name/Code) modifies identifiers only.

  Option D (Assign Roles) relates to security role assignments.

  Therefore, Edit Supervisory Organization is the correct task to establish the default Company for new hires.

• Question 20:

  Scenario:

  A new supervisory organization has been created. The staffing model has been assigned so that there isno limit on the number of jobs that are filled.

  The Worker Type available for staffing in this organization is for workers who are paid by a third party.

  What business process do you use to staff for this worker type?

  A. Hire Employee
  B. Contract Contingent Worker
  C. End Additional Job
  D. End Contingent Worker Contract
  B. Contract Contingent Worker

  ---

  The correct answer is B - Contract Contingent Worker.

  In Workday, Contingent Workers are individuals who perform services for the organization but are not on the organization's payroll (they are paid by a third party). To bring a contingent worker into the system, the appropriate business process is Contract Contingent Worker.

  This business process mirrors the Hire Employee process but is designed for contingent workforce management. It captures key details such asvendor, contract dates, location, job profile, and supervisory organization. The process is typically initiated when the organization wants to assign contingent workers under a supervisory org for project or temporary work.

  The Hire Employee process (option A) is used for direct employees only, while options and are termination C D or ending processes, not staffing ones.
