The Await Calibration Completion is a purpose-built service step designed to link the performance review business process with the calibration process. When this step is added to the Complete Manager Evaluation for Performance Review business process (typically after the manager submission step), it automatically pauses the workflow for each employee. The process for each employee remains in a "waiting" state until the Talent Administrator has launched, conducted, and formally completed the calibration event that includes those employees. This configuration ensures that calibration occurs after manager evaluations are submitted but before the performance review is finalized and shared with the employee, thereby meeting the requirement.

B. A To Do step is a generic notification or reminder. It does not systemically pause the business process or enforce the required dependency on the calibration event's completion.

C. A Shared Participation step is used to allow multiple users to contribute to a single step simultaneously, which is not applicable to pausing a process for verification.

D. The Update Performance Review Rating step is a standard action for entering or modifying ratings and has no functionality for process control or coordination with calibration.

2. Workday Documentation

"Talent Calibration Steps": This documentation outlines the end-to-end process for calibration. It explains that for calibration to be integrated with a performance review

the review's business process must contain the Await Calibration Completion step to ensure the review process waits for the outcome of the calibration event before proceeding to completion steps. (Reference: Workday Talent and Performance Guide
