Workday brings changes to earnings statements

Employees will receive their first paychecks issued from Workday on January 11, 2021. The switch to Workday means several changes to the appearance of employees’ earnings statements.

Here’s what you need to know before you look at your first earnings statement from Workday:

• Earnings statements, called “payslips” in Workday, will be available 3 days before payday. Previously, earnings statements were available 5 days before payday.
• Payslips will only be available in Workday. Employees cannot use myWSU or WebPBS to view their payslips.
• Payslips can be downloaded and printed directly from Workday.
• Workday payslips are more detailed than previous earnings statements. Employees will notice changes to how line items, contributions, deductions, and reduction appear, including:
  • Paid leave (sick leave, annual leave, etc.) will be shown as a different pay type, in addition to Regular Pay
  • HCA contributions are split into pay periods vs. one. This change reflects the schedule on which the University pays this contribution on employees’ behalf, and does not affect employee pay.

Employees can learn how to view their payslips in Workday by reviewing this Reference Guide.
