How is a contingent worker distinguished from an employee in Workday?

• A. A Star Next to the Name
• B. A [C] Notation Next to Their Name
• C. A Color Tag
• D. A Different User Type

Answer: (B)

In Workday, a contingent worker is identified by a [C] notation next to their name. That bracketed C serves as the clear visual cue that the person is not a regular employee, and it appears in the worker directory and related lists. This designation helps HR, managers, and payroll distinguish how the worker should be treated for payroll, taxation, benefits eligibility, and access to systems. The other cues like a star, a color tag, or a different user type aren’t the standard way Workday marks contingent status, so the [C] notation is the reliable indicator used across the platform.
