“County” field now required as part of address records in Workday

WSU now requires “County” values to be entered on several address records types in Workday.

In August 2025, Modernization and HRS announced that “County” is now a required field for all primary home addresses for benefits eligible employees. For additional information and guidance related to the County field on employee address records, review this article.

“County” is now also required as part of the address records for the following:

• Suppliers
• Customers
• Sponsors
• External Committee Members

When completing the County field, individuals should enter only the name of the County. For example, for an address located in Pullman, the County field should be entered as “Whitman,” not “Whitman County.”

Please reach out to Modernization via the Workday Service Desk with questions regarding this change.
