Workday Overview

Allows us to log personal contact and work data and also log all of our performance and goals from an incentive perspective. Quarterly goals can be logged and monitored and accessed and approved by managers. Each quarter we'll use HCM Workday to register our quarterly objectives and allow us as users to track them.

It is being used across the organization, to streamline business efforts with HR, Benefits, Payroll, and integrations with our student systems and other vendors, but provides us with a more flexible and modern system to manage our information among those systems.
The Payroll module is lacking some major reports "out of the box". For example, coming to Workday from a payroll service provider, we realized Workday doesn't have a clean Payroll Register or Payroll Summary report that can be used for audits or top-level reconciliation. We had to build custom reports to manage that, but most reports only output to Excel, so Workday lacks some clean PDF versions that satisfy Auditors needs when looking to compare top-level payroll information. The Payroll module does not come with in-house training. The realization is that the consultants your organization uses, are also going to be your trainers, leaves many facing challenges of information not being passed to the end-users properly. Workday needs to provide more web-based training, at no extra cost, to users of the system. Payroll is an important module within Workday, and users need to understand the "how's" and "why's" of the system - because it is quite different from other in-house and SaaS payroll systems. The Payroll Module is still very young, so there are many developments needed to make it more effective for large organizations. From reports, to tax configurations, to exports and imports of data from 3rd parties, Workday needs to put more focus on listening to its users and making things available more quickly than years down the road. We have had issues with tax calcs and had to identify necessary changes Workday needed to make, which are things other payroll systems have already tackled. In some ways, it can feel like you are redesigning the wheel as you move forward with Workday Payroll.
