If a worker changes positions, do any roles assigned to them automatically follow to the new position?

• A. True
• B. Only for supervisor roles
• C. Depends on the department
• D. False

Answer: (D)

Roles in Workday are tied either to the worker directly or to the position they occupy. When a worker changes positions, the system does not automatically transfer the roles from the old position to the new one. If the roles are assigned to the worker, those access rights stay with the person regardless of position unless you reassign them. If you want the new position to grant the same access, you must explicitly assign the necessary roles to the worker in the new position or ensure the new position is configured to provide them. In short, changing positions does not automatically carry over existing roles, so the statement is false.
