HOW TO VIEW HELP ARTICLES
There may be times in Workday where you want to open a help article on one screen or tab and complete the tasks in Workday on another screen or tab. The best way to do this is to create a duplicate web browser which will allow you to have Workday open twice while still allowing you to complete all necessary tasks. The instructions below will walk you through that process.
- Open one of the help articles listed below.
- Right click on the title tab in your browser and select Duplicate. This will open a new tab with an identical window.
- In that second window, sign into your Workday account. All tasks can be completed in this window with the first window being used as a help article reference.
We know it can be overwhelming trying to find a part-time job. As a college student, this may be your first time seeking employment. For those of you already employed, maybe it is time to begin thinking about a new part-time position that will help you gain more transferable skills and experience for your future career. Students searching for on-campus jobs can use our online system, Workday. Click on the links below to learn more about how to complete these tasks.
After being hired into an on-campus position, there are specific onboarding tasks you will need to complete before your first day of work. If you have already worked on campus, you will not need to complete these steps again.
INITIAL ONBOARDING
The first steps you need to complete in Workday are "Update Personal Information" and "Edit Government IDs." Both of these tasks will show up in your Workday inbox AFTER you have been hired. If you have not yet been prompted to completed these tasks in Workday, please ask your manager to request your hire.
EMPLOYMENT PAPERWORK
After updating your personal information and government details, you will be prompted to complete your Federal Form I-9, tax withholdings, and direct deposit elections.
If you are an hourly student employee, your hours will need to be tracked in Workday. All of your hours must be approved by your manager and they will work with you to create a work schedule. Different departments manage time reporting in different ways, so please work with your manager to learn the best way to enter your hours for your specific position.
