Workday

Workday integrates finance, human resources and student information systems into a single cloud-based platform, tailored for the modern workflow. The right tools and resources are key to supporting Wofford’s commitment to improvement. With Workday, Wofford can reduce manual processes, eliminate paper transactions and increase our ability to make real-time, data-driven decisions.

Workday’s finance and human resources functionalities will go live in July 2024. Leading up to this date, you will receive important updates and training on how to use Workday effectively from day one.

Workday Student will go live in 2026.

As of July 2024, Workday will replace Banner’s finance and human resources functionalities. This means tasks previously completed in BannerWeb related to finance and human resources will transition to Workday. You’ll also use Workday, instead of Employee Navigator (E3), to enroll or change your employee benefits. Additionally, Workday Student will go live in 2026, replacing Banner Student admin pages, Banner Student self-service, Ellucian DegreeWorks, and Faculty Reports@Wofford reporting, along with many Connect.Wofford.Edu web applications.

While Workday will eventually replace certain academic software systems, including Ellucian DegreeWorks, this transition is planned to occur gradually over the following two years. Rest assured, detailed information and training will be provided well in advance of these changes.

• A single location to manage your HR and finance information: With Workday you no longer need to remember multiple passwords for different sites or go through time consuming paper approval processes. Manage your personal information, submit expense reports, select your benefits and review organizational information in one place – Workday!
• Available on any device: Whether you are working from campus, the comfort of your home or on the go, Workday is available via your desktop and on mobile devices (both iOS and Android).
• User friendly, intuitive cloud-based system: From more reliable and relevant search capabilities to suggested tasks and featured applications, announcements and personalized recommendations – you’ll have a Workday experience that is uniquely yours.

Starting July 1, 2024, users will use their normal Wofford credentials to sign in to Workday.

As an employee, you’ll manage your personal information—changing your home address, adding an emergency contact, updating your payroll information—without having to submit a request form or reaching out to Human Resources.

If you’re a manager, you’ll be able to approve various requests from your direct reports and see real-time data on your teams, such as PTO calendars.
