Can tenanted Change Job Reasons be mapped to Workday-delivered Change Job Types?

• A. True
• B. It Depends on Permissions
• C. Only for Certain Tenants
• D. False

Answer: (A)

Understanding how tenant-specific Change Job Reasons relate to the standard Workday categories hinges on the ability to translate customized tenant values into the built-in Change Job Types. Tenanted Change Job Reasons are the custom, tenant-defined reasons an organization uses when an employee changes jobs. Workday-delivered Change Job Types are the predefined, system-wide categories used for processing, reporting, and analytics.

The mapping capability lets you link each tenant-specific reason to a corresponding Workday Change Job Type. This preserves your own business terminology at the tenant level while ensuring the system consistently recognizes and classifies the change in its standard taxonomy. In practice, administrators configure this translation so that, regardless of the tenant’s local wording, downstream processes and reports interpret the change in the same way.

While who can configure or view these mappings depends on permissions, the capability itself exists across tenants, so tenanted Change Job Reasons can be mapped to Workday-delivered Change Job Types.
