How are workers included in a location hierarchy in Workday?

• A. By being hired or contracted into a location that is part of the hierarchy
• B. By manually selecting a location at the time of hire
• C. By payroll region only
• D. By assigning a location after performance review

Answer: (A)

In Workday, a worker is included in the location hierarchy by being hired into a location that is part of that hierarchy. The worker’s primary work location is recorded on their job data, and when the hire points to a location within the defined location tree, the worker automatically becomes part of that branch. This placement enables location-based reporting, security, time tracking, and related processes to use the correct location context. Changes to a worker’s location are made by updating their job data to a different location in the hierarchy, not by a later performance review.
