Delegation End Dates may not exceed five years into future

As a general guideline, delegation in Workday is intended to be a short-term arrangement. To align with this intent, we are limiting delegation end dates to no more than five years into the future. This ensures that delegations remain temporary and are periodically reviewed for accuracy and relevance.

If an end date exceeding the 5 year limit is entered, when the Delegation is submitted, the process will require the user to change the end date.

For information on how to submit a delegation request for yourself, review the Delegation reference guide.

To submit a delegation for someone else, submit a “Request Delegation for a Faculty/Staff member who is NOT available to request it themselves” ticket in the Workday Service Desk.

To view actions that have been delegated to you, review the instructions in the Workday My Tasks (Inbox) and Notifications reference guide.

Those with questions or concerns may reach out to Wendy Weber, Modernization team analyst, for further clarification, or to discuss security alternatives.
