Suggested Answer: D Vote an answer

In Workday,total base paycalculations are controlled bygrade profiles, specifically through theBase Pay Elementsfield. This field determines which compensation elements are included when evaluating base pay ranges such as minimum, midpoint, and maximum.
In this scenario, employees are correctly assigned aperiod salary planwith theBrazil Holiday Pay compensation element, but that element is not included in total base pay. This indicates that the grade profiles for Brazil do not currently include this element in the Base Pay Elements configuration.
Compensation bases are used for plan calculations and validations, not for defining base pay composition.
Compensation elements must be included in the grade profile to affect base pay ranges. Salary plans and period salary plans reference compensation elements but do not control base pay inclusion.
By addingBrazil Holiday Payto theBase Pay Elementsfield on theBrazil grade profiles, Workday will include the 13th-month payment in total base pay calculations for employees in Brazil.
Therefore, optionDis the correct and Workday-supported solution.
