Our campus is on a mission to modernize our Enterprise Resource Planning systems. The Elevate Program will replace our Human Resources, Finance, and Student systems with Workday, a cloud-based system used by higher-education institutions across the country.
Key goals of the Elevate Program include streamlining our processes and providing a positive user experience for students, staff, and faculty. With this in mind, we are delighted to announce that with Workday Go Live, exempt staff and faculty will no longer have to complete a bi-weekly timesheet unless they are documenting leave. Hourly employees, student workers, contingent 1 employees, as well as nonexempt staff (regular and contingent 2) employees will continue to report time worked, either through manual timesheet entry in Workday or time clocks as they do today. All leave eligible employees will request time off via the Absence Calendar.
The Board of Regents approved this requested amendment to the Policy on Sick and Safe Leave for Faculty in September 2022. The transition for exempt staff and faculty to only entering timesheet data when taking a vacation, sick or personal day will go into effect in July 2023, when Workday is expected to go live at the University of Maryland College Park, University of Maryland Eastern Shore, University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science and University System of Maryland Office.
If you’d like to learn more about Time and Absence Management in Workday, you can register for the Elevate Program’s upcoming Functional Overview session. The Elevate Program team will provide a sneak peek at what Time Off and Time-related activities you will be able to complete. Register below:
