Workday Project Update

Issue 10

Dear Colleagues,  

I write with enthusiasm as we arrive at our Workday launch. A best-in-class platform, Workday will streamline and aid work for everyone who currently uses Banner.   

Learning any new system requires patience and practice. I ask that you extend grace to yourself and your teams as we make adjustments and get to know the system’s features and capabilities. Each small step moves us toward long-term success.  

Please consider sending a note of appreciation to our colleagues in IT, UHR, Finance, Payroll, Supply Chain and Budget as well as the representatives on the Change Network. They have shepherded this project with gritty determination for over 18 months and prepared us for a successful transition.  

With appreciation,  

– Katherine

With Workday officially launched, now’s the perfect time to complete a few key tasks to get started smoothly.

Be sure to: 

Ahead of go-live, salaried employees were instructed not to submit a timesheet in Banner for the June 10-24 pay period. Now that Workday is live, salaried employees will need to enter any leave they took during that pay period in Workday by July 15.

Follow the steps on the Request Absence job aid (pdf) to enter any time taken between June 10-24.

*Scheduling is still in progress with more training sessions to come!

Workday training is designed to support a smooth transition and empower you with the knowledge to succeed. Explore a range of resources including tip sheets, job aids, microlearning videos, and in-person sessions - all tailored to help you navigate Workday with confidence. 

The Workday support portal is intended for Workday-specific questions. The support team will prioritize issues causing work stoppages with no workaround. This ensures that critical issues are addressed promptly to minimize disruptions.
