  title: Workday Request Compensation Change
  summary: Read a worker's current compensation and available grades, then request a compensation change.
  description: >-
    A compensation flow. It resolves the worker, reads their current
    compensation plans and the catalog of compensation grades so the proposed
    grade is valid, and then submits a compensation change request. Every step
    spells out its request inline so the flow can be read and executed without
    opening the underlying OpenAPI description.
