Updates coming for several HR business processes

We presented several potential changes to Workday business processes during the August 16 Finance and Administrative Officers (FAO) meeting, and are moving forward with the following:

• No change for Compensation Partners on Hire or Change Job actions. Instead of changing which Workday security role receives the task, we recommend using the comments section in Workday or another communication method to ensure the Compensation Partner knows the rate for the position, especially if they do not have first-hand knowledge of the rate.
• Change to the Change Job, Hire, and Add or End Additional Job business processes. Starting on October 1, the Assign Costing Allocation step in these processes will go to the HR Partner instead of the Accountant.
  • For areas in which the same person holds the HR Partner role along with any of the financial approver roles for this action, please note the initiator will still not be able to be the approver. This means that the HR Partner doing the Costing Allocation step will not be able to also perform the approval as Gift Manager, Grant Manager, Program Manager, Project Manager, or Cost Center Manager. If these roles are held by one person, please consider adding additional people to them or having someone other than the financial approver initiate the action in the HR Partner role.
  • This change will start on October 1 to give ample time to discuss with your teams and adjust work or security assignments if desired.
