The Total Rewards team in LATAM notices that the 13th-month period salary plan for employees...

In Workday, total base pay calculations are controlled by grade profiles, specifically through the Base Pay Elements field. 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 a period salary plan with the Brazil 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 adding Brazil Holiday Pay to the Base Pay Elements field on the Brazil grade profiles, Workday will include the 13th-month payment in total base pay calculations for employees in Brazil.

Therefore, option D is the correct and Workday-supported solution.
