Introduction to Hiring Staff, Part 1: Posting a Job Requisition

Benefits

We’d like to remind employees that you can change your retirement contributions at any time, not just during open enrollment. Additionally, if you are switching from the monthly to biweekly payroll and have a fixed dollar amount that you contribute per pay period, you might want to change that after the final December monthly payroll is run. Read instructions on how to change your retirement elections.

Recruitment

Any current employees who are interested in applying for an open position, please submit your application through the Jobs Hub within your Workday employee account. This ensures your application is properly processed and considered. 

Student employment

GOOD NEWS! Student supervisors can now access all training guides related to student employment in one place! Visit the Workday Support Hub and click on the Student Employment category of knowledge articles. 

• There is a NEW knowledge guide on how to review and validate student worker wages for fund Managers (Cost Center, Gift, Grant and Designated Funds) called View and Validate Student Wages. We realize that supervisors without these security permissions still cannot access student payroll information, which is something that is under review. However, these guides will assist fund managers to find this information as needed.

  • A previous knowledge guide was expanded to assist with the general management for student worker supervisory organizations called Managing Student Workers - "Cleaning up your Roster"  From this knowledge guide supervisors will learn:

    • how to review their current sup org and review key features about their workers such as: their position title, pay rate, expected end employment date and funding source (Cost Center and Program only);

    • how to End a Job and remove a student from their sup org if they are no longer working;

    • extend a student's job end date if they are continuing in the position into the next semester or academic year.

Financial services

If you can't see a gift in Workday, first check that your Workday cost center is the cost center reported on previous Report2Web reports.  If the cost center on the Report2Web reports is not correct, please email Charlene Bellows (cbellows@mtholyoke.edu) and Victoria Mueller (vmueller@mtholyoke.edu) and note the gift and the Report2Web cost center and the correct Workday cost center.
