General

• Workday How-To Hub

• Calling all Workday aficionados! We created the Workday How-To Hub, a voluntary, collaborative Google Space chat group in which you can ask and help answer quick Workday questions, and share tips and tricks you’ve picked up over the last year. While this won’t replace the ticket system for technical or access fixes, we hope it can be another tool in our toolbox that helps us get our work done faster! 

• Things you can do in the Workday How-To Hub:

• Ask questions about Workday!

• Offer suggestions or help with tasks if you can!

• Be kind and respectful- we’re all still learning!

• Things you should not do in the Workday How-To Hub:

• Post anything specific about people or data (ie, names, addresses, budget, salary, etc).

• Solicit/Encourage/Proliferate *negativity about Workday- we understand there is still frustration, but lots of people are working very hard to make Workday better at MHC-  let’s make this a positive, helpful space! 

*Group moderators reserve the right to remove any posts or attachments that show private information or can be considered disrespectful or negative. 

• Reminders & expectations

  • This group is opt-in only.

  • This group is open to users 24/7, but is not being formally monitored. Feel free to contribute during your normal working hours, but please don’t expect answers immediately (or at all in some cases, depending on the nature of your question).

  • This group is intended to complement, not replace, the formal help ticket system; for complex issues or security access questions, or just when in doubt, please submit a help ticket.

  • Drop in Workday help sessions and one-to-one time with Yvaine Neyhard are still offered; check the training calendar!

To join, please sign up here, say hello, and start asking your questions!

• Need to clear the number in your notifications? Open the Notifications menu (bell icon 🔔) and click the blue circle to mark an item as read. Notifications will stay active for 30 days or until they are marked as read. 

Human resources

• Staff performance evaluations launch in Workday: HR announced last week that the performance evaluation process will take place through Workday, and it’s ready now! Be sure to read the full announcement, and access training guides for how to complete your evaluation this year. 

Payroll

• Student and staff payroll reminders are back! Email reminders will go out each Monday, the week of payday, before 10:00am.

Finance

• We heard you! Users now receive a notification when they have an open order that has not been received with the “Create Receipt” task. Please continue to create receipts as soon as you receive orders. However, if you receive a "missing receipt" alert, but the item is backordered or canceled, do not make a receipt. Instead, email payables@mtholyoke.edu for next steps to reconcile the order.
