Workday has upgraded several features to maximize the user experience. The changes took effect on March 17 and include the following:

Pay Worklet Retirement

To enhance and streamline the Workday experience, the Pay Worklet has been retired from the Global Navigation Menu. All pay-related information and transactions are now accessible through the Benefits and Pay Hub, which provides a centralized location to manage benefits, compensation, and payroll details. All pay-related information, including Payment Elections, Tax Information, and more, can now be found in this hub. 

  • To access the Benefits and Pay Hub, navigate to the Global Navigation Menu (hamburger menu) on the top left and select Benefits and Pay.
  • Click Benefits and Pay Hub for an introductory video.

  • View Withholding Elections (for Federal Withholding and State/Local Withholding)
  • Hide or show information such as Deductions, Most Recent Pay, and Current Benefit costs. You can display or hide these features by clicking the eye icon next to each item.

Redesigned Assign Costing Allocation Task

Workday has enhanced the Assign Costing Allocation task to streamline the process of adding, editing, and reviewing costing allocations. These improvements simplify workflows for revising, approving, and managing costing allocation changes, providing a more intuitive user experience.

  • Inbox Accessibility: Users can now access both the Proposed Costing Allocations and Existing Costing Allocations tabs directly from their inbox.
  • Enhanced Review & Revision Capabilities: Users can revise proposed allocations after an approver requests changes and can easily review adjustments within the Proposed and Existing Costing Allocations tabs.
