Fieldworker Designation in Workday

This document outlines the process the HRBP will follow to add the fieldworker designation for employees in Workday.

What is a Fieldworker?

Field Work generally refers to learning or work done outside the classroom, involving real-world observation, data collection, or hands-on application of academic concepts. The question regarding Field Work in the Flexible Work Arrangment will be removed and replaced by a Fieldworker designation on the Worker Profile.

Fieldworker Designation:

  • Job requires presence at multiple locations
  • At least 33% travel as a job requirement
  • Work is performed "in the field," not from a single remote work location
  • Not considered remote work under the policy, so no FWA is required
  • "Fieldworker" designation must be added to the Worker Profile by the HRBP
  • Field Worker Headquarter Location is designated as either Home or Assigned Office (at the Institution's discretion)
