Please note: All managers should continue using either the Review Time shortcut or the Time and Scheduling Hub to review and approve time.

What You'll See

• Access records of all prior absence requests by selecting the My Absence option within the hub.

With the new Absence Calendar Experience, you will be able to add one or multiple entries for the same date, request multiple types of time off for the same date, and change the date of existing entries.

All users can run the Report Catalog- UC report to view a list of all reports in Workday. Reports can only be run if the user has the appropriate security permissions.

What You'll See

• The list displays the report name, category (e.g. Suppliers, Expenses, Worker), description, and any comments provided by Workday.
• Each header is clickable, allowing users to filter or search by keyword—for example, to view all reports within a specific category

This centralized space allows Managers and Supervisors to access automated insights and recommendations to support their team’s growth and development. It provides a variety of tools to help you manage and support your team efficiently:

• Managers can quickly view and act on pending approvals, hiring requests, and staffing events.
• Hiring and Staffing: Access the Hiring and Staffing Overview to create job requisitions and positions, and monitor recent in-progress job requisitions at a glance.
• Time Management: Complete essential time management tasks and reports, including entering and correcting time off and reviewing worker time-off balances.
• The Team Highlights section displays pending approvals, upcoming team time off, workers on leave, and more.

The Workday Time Clock kiosk will now be supported on college-purchased Android tablets. Starting in October, multiple kiosks will be installed across campus for users who prefer not to use their personal devices for check-in/out or who prefer using a kiosk.
