D: Events are configured using your company's requirements. Correct answer
Correct Answer:
D. Events are configured using your company's requirements.
Explanation

Benefit events in Workday are highly configurable to meet a company's specific requirements. Administrators define enrollment event rules, eligibility rules, waiting periods, and how events are processed through business processes. While Workday provides a framework of event types (e.g., New Hire, Marriage), the logic and behavior of the resulting benefit events are determined by customer-specific configuration, not by a rigid, delivered-only model.

Why Incorrect

A. Workday delivers Enrollment Event Types as a template, but the rules and processing for the actual events are configured by the customer.
B. To maintain a complete audit history, benefit events for workers cannot be deleted. They can be corrected or rescinded, which creates a new corrective event.
C. The timeframe for an event to close is not a fixed 30 days; it is configured by the administrator in the Enrollment Event Rules.
