Some employees receive a payroll freeze notification after their time is approved in Workday. Have no fear, their time has been recorded and no additional action is needed.
When are my employees getting reminders about entering their time? When should managers and timekeepers expect notifications and reminders from the system to approve time? Employees who manually enter their time in Workday will receive a notification in Workday and an email reminder on Monday morning following the end of the pay period if they have not entered and/or submitted their time. Managers will receive a notification when time has been submitted by an employee or has been submitted on their behalf and is awaiting approval. Timekeepers will not receive system generated notifications or email reminders.
Timekeepers will have a few less clicks when editing and approving time for the employees they support. Previously, time entered and submitted by a timekeeper on behalf of an employee would route to the manager for approval. Now, these edits will be automatically approved once submitted enabling timekeepers to better support managers with time tracking.
Managers will notice a slight change to how time approvals are delivered to them in Workday. Approvals will now be delivered as a notification prompting you to utilize the Review Time task instead of a task with the Approve and Send Back buttons.
During the last pay period, many timekeepers reported they were unable to approve time for the employees they support. The team has identified the issue and corrected it.
