In Workday HCM,allowance plan profilesare used to localize compensation amounts for specific employee populations based on eligibility criteria such as location. When an employee meets the eligibility for a plan profile, Workday defaults the amount defined in that profile.
However, when an employee doesnotmeet the eligibility criteria for any existing plan profiles, Workday defaults to thebase default valuedefined on the allowance plan itself. In this scenario, the default value is$100 USD, and the available profiles only apply to employees in Toronto, Paris, and Sydney.
Since the employee is being hired inDublin, Ireland, they do not qualify for any of the defined profiles. As a result, Workday applies the plan’s default value rather than a profile-specific amount.
Workday does not automatically convert currencies or default to zero unless explicitly configured to do so. Therefore, the default amount remains $100 USD.
Options A and C incorrectly assume that Workday defaults to zero, which is not standard behavior. Option D applies only to Paris employees.
Thus, the correct answer is$100 USD, making option B correct.
