UHR Workday Tip of the Month - New Change Job Updates Are Coming to Workday September 19th!

The Change Job task will now help guide you through common job-related updates by showing only the fields needed for the change you are making. The goal is to create a simpler, more intuitive experience while helping ensure requests are submitted accurately and processed efficiently.

What's Changing?

To begin the new task, select the Start Job Change task from the global search bar and choose the change reason that best matches the update you need to make.

Workday will display only the information needed for that specific transaction. Example Change Job reasons include:

  • Title Change
  • Location Change
  • Reduced Pay Leave of Absence (Faculty Only)
  • Extend Job End Date (Fixed Term)

Why This Matters

  • Less clutter - You will only see fields that apply to the change you are making.
  • Faster transactions - Fewer unnecessary fields means less time spent completing requests and faster approvals for simpler transactions.
  • Better accuracy – Fewer fields help ensure the right information is entered the first time.
  • Consistent processes - The same streamlined process is used each time a change is requested.

Quick Tip

Need help choosing a change reason? Select a reason and read the help text at the bottom of the task to see if it is appropriate for your needs.

If you are unsure which change reason to use, submit a Get Help ticket to UHR, and a member of the team will be happy to assist.
