You can enable earning frequency overrides so that you can adjust payroll commitment accounting to align with the payroll actual calculations.
Workday applies the override frequency value to calculate commitments when:
  • The earning frequency override value is different than the position pay period frequency value.
  • The pay group on the frequency type uses the same earning as the override frequency type.
  1. (Optional) Review your payroll configuration to determine whether commitments that drive the earning need to follow the same rules as payroll.
