Catch Up and Go Hires

Depending on what stage of the recruitment process you are in and if the incumbent was hired in HRS, will determine the hire process in Workday.  Follow this process to ensure hires are entered in Workday to receive a paycheck.

NO Catch Up and Go Action Needed  

Hires made with an effective date prior to 6/28 and fully entered in HRS by 4:30 p.m. on 6/16, the full position was converted to Workday and no action is necessary.  HR Business Partner or Faculty Recruiter should double check that everything converted correctly to Workday. 

YES Catch Up and Go Action Needed

Appointment in HRS - Connect Employee to Position in Workday 

Hires with a start date of 6/29-7/31 (Dual Faculty 6/29-11/1) that were entered in HRS by Monday, June 16th by 4:30p.m. (guaranteed pull date) or June 27th by 4:30p.m., (another potential pull date) - the position and employee will be available in Workday to connect.  These need to be on your transaction tracker.

There are three separate business processes used to hire depending upon the situation: search for the employee in Workday to determine which business process (hire/add job/change job) you will follow for the hire: 

  • Hire - use this process if the employee does not have any current job and will be hired into a job. 
  • Add Job - use this process if the employee has an existing job and you are trying to hire them into an additional concurrent job.  
  • Change Job - use this process if the employee has an existing job and you are trying to transfer them out of that job and into a new job with no break in service. 

New Hire

Use this process if the employee does not any current job and will be hired into a job.
