Exempt Staff
Exempt Staff
Exempt staff do not have a timesheet in Workday. However, absences still need to be requested in Workday. Please see the below section, "Absence Management," for more details.
Non-Exempt Staff
Non-Exempt Staff
Non-Exempt staff must add all worked hours to their timesheet. View Job Aid: Enter, Edit, and Submit My Time for detailed instructions on how to enter, edit, and submit time.
Retroactive Time Entry
Retroactive Time Entry
To avoid potential pay errors, Workday prohibits employees from editing past timesheets. If time that you worked during a previous pay period was not added to your timesheet, you will need to submit a Retro Time Entry request in Workday. This will cause your payment for these hours to be delayed.
Absence Management
Absence Management
In Workday, annual, personal, and sick leave are managed as an "absence" or "time off". Absences are short-term. In Workday, the term "leave" refers to times when a full-time employee requests off work for a long-term reason, such as a medical condition.
