19. I made changes to my benefits during the recent 2017 Open Enrollment period. Do I
need to resubmit those changes?
A: No, you will not need to resubmit changes. As part of the launch, your new benefits
effective 1/1/2017 will be reflected in the benefit section of your profile when Workday
goes live on December 27th.
20. What does this project have to do with Workday Student?

more about Workday Student in 2017.
Training Questions

Procedural Questions
25. Can I continue to change my tax withholding and direct deposit options in ADP through
the end of 2016?
A: Yes, but with these important exceptions:
12/15/16: Last day you can make changes in ADP, with changes automatically
being reflected in Workday.
12/16/16 through 12/22/16: All changes you make in ADP during this period,
you will also need make in Workday. Workday will be available on 12/27/16.
26. When is my payslip available in Workday?
A: It is available Thursday of the payroll week, as it is now.
27. Is the pay schedule for adjunct faculty changing?
A: Yes. Today adjunct faculty are being paid monthly. When Workday launches, adjunct
faculty will be paid bi-weekly starting with the 1/13/17 payroll. Receiving more frequent
paychecks increases cash flow for adjunct faculty and helps with personal budgeting.
This does not apply to the Colleges of Law or Saybrook whose adjunct faculty are
already on a bi-weekly payroll.
28. Is the time entry and review frequency for hourly employees changing?
A: Yes. Today hourly employees enter and review their time every other week, prior to
the payroll week. When Workday launches, hourly employees should enter and review
their time weekly, and preferably daily.
Once the employee submits their timecard their manager will get an email in the
Workday Inbox to approve that time on weekly basis.
29. Is Payroll still accepting manual timesheets?
A: No. One of the features of Workday allows time entry in three periods - the current
period plus the two previous periods. This allows for the ability to adjust and input time
for the current and two prior pay periods. Hourly employees can input time not
previously entered and adjust time entered incorrectly. Retroactive pay will be
calculated in the current pay period.

34. When I enroll for direct deposit, will there be pre-note pay cycle?
A: No. We no longer require an initial pay cycle for the pre-note. You will be enrolled in
direct deposit in the next available payroll cycle.
35. Why can’t I see my PTO or vacation balances?
A: Between 12/27/16 and 12/29/16 you will not be able to see your PTO or vacation
balances in Workday. Starting 12/29/16 those balances will display in Workday.
Functionality Questions
36. The company names in the dropdown are not what I am used to seeing. Why is there a
difference?
A: We are using the following legal names in Workday so various outputs from the
system are correct:
37. I understand from the information sessions that Workday processes replace the PAF
(Personnel Action Form) in many places. Will we still use the PAF?
A: If your school is fully utilizing the Manager Self-Service module, the PAF will no longer
be used. Your local HR department will communicate if anything is different.
38. I don’t see my benefits deduction detail on my paycheck or pay stub. Where can I find
it?
A: You can use the Benefits Worklet to see what benefit plans you are enrolled in.
39. Where can I make changes to my paycheck, including direct deposit and withholding?
A: Under Employee Training > Manage Payroll Options you can find information about
how to manage your withholding elections, direct deposit, withholding and more.

A: All changes must be completed by end of business the Friday prior to pay day in order
to be reflected in your paycheck.
41. Where can I make changes to my address and other contact information?
A: Under Employee Training > Modify Your Personal Information you can find
information about how to manage your personal information, including adding or
changing your contact and personal information, your emergency contacts, your photo
and more.

your benefits elections, dependent information and more.

A: Under Employee Training > Manage Your Time Off you can find information about
how to review and manage your time off information in Workday, including submitting,
cancelling and checking on your time off requests. See your Employee Handbooks for
your time off policies.
Support Questions
44. Who do I contact for Workday support?
