Managing Delegations in Workday |
Employees can designate delegate(s) to complete certain business processes on their behalf through the use of Workday delegations. Key points to keep in mind:
|
- Delegations can be set up for a maximum of 12 months at a time.
-
Employees may delegate specific business processes or all business processes (their entire inbox).
- It is not recommended to delegate all business processes, as this allows delegates to take action on and view all of your personal information, including your benefits.
