Add children to Workday

What does this process mean?

In Norway you can use up to 10 days of ‘leave of absence related to children’ until your child is 12 years old. In order to get these days assigned to you, you need to add your child(ren) and their date of birth in Workday. 

You can only add children to Workday if you are logged into Workday on a Computer

Here you can read more about what to do if your child is sick.

How does it work? 

In the Workday app you are only able to see already added child(ren). You need to log in on a computer to add child(ren)

1. 🔎 Find your own profile in Workday by clicking on your profile picture - View profile in the top right corner

2. Click on the Action button and scroll to benefits - View dependents (see screenshot at the bottom of the page)

3. Click on add to register your child(ren). If you already have added your child(ren) you will see them on this page as well. 

4. Fill in Given name, family name, date of birth and relationship. Country will automatically default to the country you work in, this is not the nationality of the child. 

5. Click on submit. You are now done with the process 

If your child has a chronic illness or a disability, please check the box under "disabled". This will extend the right for ´absence due to sick child´ until the calendar year of the child’s 18th birthday.
