Exam Workday-Pro-Benefits Topic 2 Question 27 Discussion

The correct answer is C because a Passive event in Workday is used when benefit changes must occur automatically without requiring employee action. In this scenario, the new plan is triggered when employees reach a 12-month service milestone , and the requirement is to automatically transition them to the new plan on their anniversary date. Passive events are designed for exactly this type of situation, where the system enforces enrollment changes based on predefined eligibility conditions or milestones.
Option A is incorrect because Open Enrollment applies to all eligible employees during a scheduled enrollment window and requires employee participation. Option B is incorrect because New Hire events only apply at the time of hire, not for service anniversaries. Option D is also incorrect because Worker Selectable events require the employee to actively make a choice, which contradicts the requirement for automatic enrollment. A Passive event ensures the system evaluates eligibility at the 12-month mark and applies the new plan without requiring any employee interaction, making it the correct configuration approach.
