Student Employment

Student Employment Management in Workday for Supervisors

As we approach the spring semester, please take a moment to review and manage your student employment processes in Workday. Key actions to ensure smooth transitions include:

1. End Job Assignments for Students Not Returning: If any student workers are not returning to their roles, please reference the Cleaning up your Roster training guide to properly end their job assignments.

2. Extend End Job Dates for Returning Students: For students who will continue in their roles for the spring, but the End Job Date is set for December 2024, read the End Job Date training guide.

3. Review Job Requisitions: Read the new training guide on Managing Student Job Requisitions.

   • Learn the difference between an open/closed job requisition and a posted/unposted job requisition, and how to manage them.

Financial services

We heard you!

Based on feedback from faculty, the Provost’s Office, and Financial Services, the MHC - Grant Budget vs Actual (Life to Date by Object Class) report has been given an upgrade. You can now see names of students, staff and faculty in the report for all categories of pay and benefits. This will be very valuable in reconciling expenses and ensuring that employees are being properly paid in your grants.

• • Please note: this change only applies to all Salary & Wages or Benefits paid after the implementation of Workday (April 1, 2024). Salary and benefits paid before were brought into Workday via a General Ledger conversion and there is no employee linkage.
