All faculty and staff were enrolled in Workday Basics training at the beginning of May. This 30-minute training provides an overview of Workday and how to navigate it.

Access or self-enroll in Workday Basics through Tiger Training. 

Upcoming Trainings

• Instructor-led training: These in-person courses will cover key functions for finance, HR and payroll-related roles. 

• Self-paced training: Additional self-paced courses in Tiger Training will cover specific functions, like manager tasks and approvals, and navigating Employee Self-Service. Some courses will be assigned to faculty and staff, while others will be available for optional learning.  

• Additional training materials and quick reference guides will be added to the Workday Training Library ahead of launch to provide on-demand support.

With less than 30 days until launch, faculty and staff can take a few steps now to prepare for Workday.

• Employees should submit any leave requests through June 30 through Kronos as soon as possible. Requests for leave happening after July 1 should be held and submitted in Workday.

• Managers should review and approve timecards and leave requests weekly. This helps ensure accurate data transfer into Workday.

• Review direct deposit and W-4 elections. June 19 is the last day to update these elections in PeopleSoft before the data is moved to Workday.

• Complete Workday Basics training. This course will help faculty and staff navigate Workday on day one.

Here are a few exciting things to look forward to when Workday launches: 

• Access in the palm of your hand! The Workday Mobile App lets you manage tasks on your phone, including time entry and expense approvals. The app is available via Android and iOS. 

• Connectivity between systems. With all HR, payroll and finance tools in one platform, faculty and staff no longer need to switch between systems to complete daily tasks.

More HR, payroll and finance actions will become restricted as we get closer to July 1. This cutover period temporarily limits some actions to ensure data transfers accurately into Workday. 

• The next major cutover date is June 12. A full list of Workday cutover dates is available on the Workday@Clemson website. 

Several support resources are available:

• Explore the Workday@Clemson website, which includes a new glossary of terms and additional informational resources.

• Find the leader of your area’s Local Resource Group, who is available to answer questions about Workday.
