Workday Interface Updates

As a result of a planned Workday user interface update, you'll notice some changes beginning on September 22. If you have any questions about these changes, reach out to HR Services.

Time Off Requests in Workday

  • Instead of requesting "Time Off" and "Correct Time Off," the terminology has changed to "Request Absence" and "Manage Absence."
  • The "Request Time Off" calendar is now known as the "Request Absence" calendar.
  • The calendar has a different look and feel.
  • For more information on these updates, see the Request Time Off System Guide [pdf].

Embedded Analytics

A new feature at the top of data tables in Workday allows you to open the data in a new window, which allows for side-by-side analysis and better usability.
