Further, Workday Financial Management is such a easy platform to use and only those eligible are given acces permission for safety measures.

It is a suitable ERP tool that is integrated into our different systems. It has made it easier to submit employee expense reports with necessary attachments. The cloud-based periodic save function helps with a clear audit trail. It also solved one big issue: integrating banking transactions into our purchasing and procurement departments. It is intuitive and somewhat easy to use!

Earlier, accessing systems such as expense and travel allowance records was quite lengthy. Now, with this tool, it is easy to maintain a seamless end-to-end process in the system. The interface is simple. It is mostly used in resource management systems to ensure that all data is secured in the system.

We use it for Pay, Time, absence, and onboarding documents. Pay gives you a good overview of your contribution to provincial and federal governments. Time and absence also give a good overall view. I did face a few problems when it came to the onboarding process. There were some sections that required a mandatory response from me, but I was unable to write or submit anything.

We use Workday for numerous functions. We find it super helpful as an HRIS, as it helps us manage our people, culture, and talent attraction functions. The system helps address business problems, namely housing employee documentation, licensing, and other important data. We also use the enterprise resource planning function.

We use Workday Financial Management for all HR information. Payroll... W-4's and I-9's, PTO requests and continuing education. Having an App handy for the quicker access if you are an hourly employee is wonderful benefit. Saves from having to log onto computer then go to a website then click into it and clock in.

Firstly, we love the UI so far. We have been using Workday for the last two years, and we mainly use it for our finance and accounting needs, as most of our processes are automated, we have to give our team a way to see all the reports in one place. Since Workday Financial Management has built-in integrations, we can able to see all our transactions in one place, and it helps us a lot for auditing purposes. And another important feature is time management, which helps us track our employees' working time/hours. And we can easily set up payroll for our employees, and keep their info in one place.

We use Workday Financial Management at my business as a tool for employee compensation, organization, and time tracking. It gives information such as compensation statements, tax deductions, employee organizations, pay history, and team management. It is the sole software we use for this type of tracking, and has done well for us up to this point.

Workday Financial Management is a huge success of a software. The general ledger is easy to use, view, enter. The AP side is streamlined compared to other previous used softwares. Cash management is reported easily for the controller. The financial reporting has helped aide in quicker financial audits. It has KPI available and built in scorecards for the visual employees.

Workday Financial Management has been a valuable tool for our company to better prepare and report on the financial statements. It allows for the team to review the transactional detail with ease. It has helped the team have a uniform reporting package and has sped up the time to perform their month end tasks. The financials are more accurate with the ease of use.

My frequency of usage involved planning cost strategies in managing AFE (Approval for expenditure) and field expenditure variability tracking for compression infrastructure and artificial lift equipment. Delivering custom reports to the field operation departments and flexible options of changing reported costs in Workday Financial Management systems enabled our supervisors to continue working on the development projects without any delay. It also helped determine the high-cost inconsistency areas where extra consideration will be required, due to the maturation of field assets or lack of skilled labor.

My primary involvement centered around formulating and implementing budget strategies, to include reporting and forecasting revisions. some of the main issues we have had to deal with recently was variability in our forecast due to Covid, as contrasted to normal ongoing variability. Historical comparisons and KPIs allowed us to highlight specific areas that needed additional attention.

Workday Financial Management is used by our entire organization. We use it on a daily basis to track our working hours, paid time off, our pay stubs and much more. It helps us stay on track by calculating the number of hours every employee works and when they hit their overtime. This, in turn, helps the company to avoid paying employees overtime and make sure that nobody gets overworked. All of the benefits are tracked via Workday as well. Any communication regarding requesting time off to rolling in new policies is all communicated via Workday.

It is being used in our five-year-old China affiliate organization, but not used globally. It is the base system for accounting, general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, asset management, sub-ledgers and financial reporting / operations. It does address our need for an enterprise resource planning system to support the backbone of the company and its financial management.
