Employee Time and Absence in Workday
Telework Outstate
Time Entry
- All employees will have access to Workday on 7/01/2024.
- All time and time off entries are based on an employee's work schedule. We recommend all employees review their scheduled for accuracy and request any necessary changes for manager approval.
- Time in Workday begins with the payroll period beginning 7/03/2024.
Time Off Requests
- All time off requests and approvals must be (re)entered in Workday beginning 7/03/2024.
- All requests for time off previously scheduled and approved on or after 7/03/2024 must be re-entered into Workday and re-approved by the employee's manager - even if the requests have already been entered or approved in eTime.
- NOTE: Time off requests re-entered in Workday will not provide historical data indicating when the employee originally made the request. That history will remain viewable in e-Time, however.
Holiday Pay
- Full-time employees’ holiday pay for 7/4/2024 will auto-populate based on their current work schedule in Workday when they enter time or time off for the day before and the day after the holiday
- Employees who are less than 1.0 FTE will be required to enter their holiday pay hours using the Holiday earn code, which is available in the drop-down menu in the time block.
- We have directed employees to contact their manager or Campus HR with questions on holiday pay hours. For reference, Labor Relations created a Holiday Pay Matrix as a helpful tool to assist in determining holiday pay eligibility. For employees who will need to have a three pay period look back to determine the number of hours of holiday pay they should receive, it will be important to gather that information prior to 7/3/24 before eTime moves to view only.
- Central payroll reviews holiday pay hours and coding. However, there is a short turnaround time for payroll processing, so any assistance from Campus HR is appreciated. NOTE: Paid leave cannot be taken on a holiday to make up or augment hours.
Leaves of Absence (LOA)
- All LOA beginning on or after 7/3/2024 will be recorded by your Campus HR Office and provided to the system office Absence Administrator to load into Workday. Instructions and the excel document will be sent in a separate email directly to Campus HR.
- If an LOA requires a corresponding time off (Paid FMLA, etc.), those time off requests must be entered into Workday by the employee and approved by the manager.
