A company needs a $500 monthly car allowance , paid as a flat amount ,...

In Workday, amount-based allowance plans are used when a fixed monetary value is paid on a recurring basis, independent of base pay, units worked, or expenses incurred. Since the requirement is a flat $500 monthly allowance , an amount-based allowance plan is the most appropriate and straightforward configuration.

This plan type allows administrators to define:

A fixed amount ($500)

A payment frequency (monthly)

An eligibility rule limiting the plan to employees in the Sales job family

Percent-based plans fluctuate with base pay and are not suitable for flat allowances. Reimbursable plans are used for expense reimbursement and require submitted expenses. Unit-based plans are intended for variable, output-driven compensation and would unnecessarily complicate the configuration.

By combining an amount-based allowance plan with a Sales job family eligibility rule , Workday ensures that only eligible employees receive the allowance and that it is paid consistently through payroll.

Therefore, option B is the correct and Workday-recommended solution.
