You asked US! – Answers to Common Questions
Why can't my new employee log in to Workday and begin onboarding?
The Hire process must be final approved and Onboarding launched before a new employee can log into Workday to begin onboarding. Once they can access Workday, the Onboarding Workday Process Overview (WPO) will help you and your new employee know which tasks they can perform before their first day of work. For more information, continue reading Onboarding Gotchas that can Trip-up Future-dated Hires.
Who can copy a department's code scheme into the next fiscal year?
Only an electronic office manager or delegate can copy code schemes. For more information on performing this task, continue reading Copying Department Code Schemes.
We hired a worker for a position, but they ended up not starting. What do I do?
You can take action to resolve this situation by following the No Call/Never Workday Instructional Guide (WIG). For more information, continue reading Using "No Call/No Show" Reason for Termination.
How do I use DEFINE across the fiscal year?
If you move back and forth between the old and new fiscal year, pay attention to the year shown in the DEFINE command line. You can switch between fiscal years by changing the year in the command line. If you have trouble viewing information or performing a particular task, double-check the fiscal year to ensure you use the correct one. To learn more about using DEFINE during the fiscal year change-over, continue reading Tips for the New Fiscal Year 2022-2023.
