AU + Workday Key Changes

The Workday implementation will create a strong foundation of standardized, integrated, and effective HR and financial systems and processes that provide accurate, timely, and relevant information. Key changes that will benefit the user experience for faculty, staff, students, and retirees are shown below.

Please keep two fundamental principles in mind as we go through this process:

  • This will be a big transition that will require patience with each other as we learn together; help will continue to be available throughout the transition to Workday.
  • Workday will improve over time as the University learns and adapts to the simplicity and efficiency of an integrated system.

Employee Self-Service in Workday will allow staff to complete personal information changes in one system of record. Self-Service activities include:

  • Address changes, including phone numbers and personal email addresses
  • Tax Withholdings
  • Payment elections (i.e., setup up to 5 direct deposit accounts)
  • Manager Self-Service provides onboarding dashboard and probation period review
  • Offers visibility to direct reports’ leaves and time off
  • "One stop shop" for faculty, staff and retirees
  • Evidence of Insurability (EOI) submitted in Workday
  • Equal deductions for 9-month full time faculty
  • Retirement savings elections in Workday
  • Benefits deduction amounts will be spread across 24 periods.
  • Employee self- service functionally will allow faculty and staff to initiate requisitions to request goods and services directly in Workday.
  • Procurement processes, from requisition to PO to Receipt to Invoice, will be tracked in Workday.
  • The process history functionality in Workday will allow faculty and staff to monitor the procurement process.
