What is required to create a benefit event in Workday?

To create a benefit event in Workday, Enrollment Event Rules and Benefit Defaults are essential. These are the guidelines and configurations that determine how benefits are applied and selected for employees. Enrollment Event Rules define the specific conditions and actions associated with benefits enrollment, such as eligibility criteria and the timing of enrollment periods. Benefit Defaults set the standard benefits options available to employees, ensuring that new hires or employees experiencing a life event are correctly guided through the enrollment process.

The other options listed do not directly relate to the creation of benefit events. While employee work history, performance reviews, compensation data, payroll information, job title, and employment status may play roles in the overall benefit management process, they are not fundamental requirements for initiating the creation of a benefit event. The focus is specifically on the enrollment rules and defaults that govern how benefits are offered and selected within Workday.
