You must make a change to an employee's salary without changing other worker details. What task will you use to make the ad hoc change?

The Request Compensation Change business process is the designated task in Workday for making ad-hoc modifications to an employee's compensation package, including their base salary. This task is specifically designed to be initiated independently of other staffing events. It allows a user with the appropriate security permissions to alter salary, allowance plans, or other compensation components without changing the employee's core job details like their position, job profile, or supervisory organization. This directly fulfills the requirement of changing salary while leaving other worker details untouched.

A. The Transfer, Promote or Change Job task is a comprehensive staffing event that modifies core job attributes and is not used for an isolated salary change.
C. The Request Grade Change task alters the employee's compensation grade, which is a distinct attribute from salary, although it often influences the salary range.
D. The Request One-Time Payment task is used for non-recurring payments like bonuses or spot awards and does not affect the employee's regular base salary.
