Access to Workday reference guides during Jira outage

How to access Workday reference guides

We have compiled a list of alternate links for time & leave and October Blackout Dates guides on the HRS website.

What is the issue?

ITS and Atlassian are working to resolve an issue in Jira that currently prevents employees from accessing Workday reference guides via the Workday Service Desk. This issue does not impact the Workday Service Desk ticketing system.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this issue and appreciate your understanding and patience.

Questions or concerns regarding this issue or the resources listed above, can be sent to the Modernization team via the Workday Service Desk.
