Refer to the following scenario to answer the question below. A company pays its employees a monthly allowance. Plan targets are dependent on plan profile eligibility rules. There are 100 different types of plan profiles, each with a specific target amount for the eligible population. Sample plan profile eligibility criteria include: Job Family = Human Resources $50 USD Job Family = Sales $70 USD Job Family and Country = Human Resources / Australia $78 AUD Job Family and Country = Sales / Australia $110 AUD The HR administrator has made some changes to the Sales job family. The job family now contains the job profile Sales Analyst. When accessing the Employee Compensation Audit report, what column will highlight the allowance plan for the Sales Analyst?
Answer options
A: This plan won't appear on the report
B: Assigned Eligible Compensation Components
C: Unassigned Eligible Compensation Components Correct answer
D: Assigned Ineligible Compensation Components
Correct Answer:
C. Unassigned Eligible Compensation Components
Explanation

The Employee Compensation Audit report is designed to identify discrepancies between an employee's assigned compensation and their eligibility based on current rules. When the 'Sales Analyst' job profile was added to the 'Sales' job family, employees in that role inherited the eligibility for the allowance plan tied to the 'Sales' job family. Since this change only established eligibility and the plan has not yet been assigned to the employee, the report will flag this as a component for which the employee is eligible but is not currently assigned. Therefore, it will appear in the 'Unassigned Eligible Compensation Components' column.

Why Incorrect

A. This plan won't appear on the report: The primary function of this audit report is to highlight such changes in eligibility, so the plan will definitely appear.
B. Assigned Eligible Compensation Components: This column is for plans that are correctly assigned to an employee who is also eligible for them. The scenario implies the plan is not yet assigned.
D. Assigned Ineligible Compensation Components: This column would be used if an employee was assigned a plan but a change made them no longer eligible for it.

Report: Employee Compensation Audit. The documentation for this standard report specifies its purpose is to audit employee compensation against eligibility rules. It defines the 'Unassigned Eligible Compensation Components' column as displaying compensation components (plans) for which a worker is eligible but that are not part of their current compensation package.

Set Up Compensation Eligibility Rules. This guide details how eligibility rules function. It explains that when a rule is based on a Job Family

all Job Profiles within that family inherit the eligibility. The change described in the scenario directly impacts the eligibility of the 'Sales Analyst' based on this principle.
