My org uses it for managing hiring, onboarding, payroll, and organizational changes.

Easy to access payslips.
Does a good job facilitating the yearly goal setting process.
Quickly sort through internal job postings.

The tasks function is somewhat clunky, and its hard to see who the task is sent to next in order to follow up with them.
In-process referrals don't always show up in the "My Referrals" tab
Filters on tasks don't always work.

Positive ROI because it streamlines the goal setting process in a way that is visible.
Positive ROI because it cuts down on requests to HR to see payroll info.
Positive ROI because it cuts down on requests to HR to access tax documents.

We recently switched to Workday Payroll and Workforce Management and so far I love it. It's much easier than other payroll management programs and has the ability to be used on a mobile device as well.

it logs the user out too quickly with dormant status

When we used Workday Payroll, staff would input their hours worked, and I was responsible for approving their time. As a hiring manager, I also completed Workday Management training to manage the onboarding process for new employees. This included tracking completed tasks, communicating with candidates, contacting references, and monitoring the progress of background checks. I collaborated closely with HR to ensure the entire process was completed smoothly and efficiently.

Collaborate with HR on completed tasks
Review and Submit Timesheets for staff
Submit personal time off for supervisors to review and approve or decline.

Some flexibility in bypassing required fields that cannot be filled out is needed, as sometimes the answer is truly unknown. You can get stuck in the form until you can answer the required question.
Have the option for a light or dark screen mode, especially for mobile app users.
Option to customize workflow chart design of the hierarchy of supervisors and staff.

More staff felt comfortable using Workday Payroll and Workforce Management to complete tasks
Having a mobile app made it possible to submit or approve hours when you're on the go and not at your desk in front of a computer.
Because of the mobile app, it made it easier for student worker to submit their time when they are at home.
