Workday Updates & Insights
- As of today, employees and managers are no longer able to make retroactive changes to timesheets. Only timekeepers will be able to make retroactive changes to timesheets.
- We have recently made an update to the Terminate Employee Job Aid to reflect that the Pay Through Date field should be the same as the Termination Effective date.
- We have added four new finance reports that provide current month actuals, revenues and expenses (net) by driver worktag, obligations and more.
- We've recently updated the Assign Costing Allocation job aid to provide more guidance on the costing allocation process, including sample scenarios and common errors and alerts.
- An issue with RPT314 GRANTS Award Budget to Actuals is now resolved.
- Due to updates agreed upon in the most recent MOU, Bargaining Acting positions receive an acting allowance effective 21 days after the employee is working in the position. When processing a change to an acting position within the bargaining unit at UMCP and UMES, the HR Analyst receives a Task to enter an acting allowance effective 21 days after the employee has been working in the acting position.
- Workday has powerful search capabilities to find what you need. However, there’s a few tricks to ensuring that your results get you the answers you’re looking for.
- Did you know there are specific forms within ServiceNow to help you resolve common issues? Often when helping resolve your case, the support team will need key pieces of information.
- During the pre-hire stage, there is a step to enter either a home or work address. A home address must be entered and Home selected as the type. Entering only a work address and selecting Work as the type could result in payroll delays.
- Entering correct and complete Costing Allocations is a critical component to ensuring employee salaries and benefits are charged to the appropriate worktags and funding sources. Costing allocations are required for each job and earning. Costing allocations can not have overlapping start/end dates as well as any gaps between start/end dates. We’ve developed improved guidance (Guide to Costing Allocations in Workday) to help ensure this critical activity is executed accurately.
