On this page you can access Reference Guides with step-by-step instructions for how to complete processes in Workday.
Please note: The steps in reference guides cannot be performed outside of training activities until December 16, 2020 when Workday becomes available for all of WSU.
The Reference Guides below are subject to change as Workday for WSU is refined during sustainment, and afterward, twice-yearly system updates.
Please be wary of storing outdated training materials locally, and always check back here for the most up-to-date and accurate materials.
Workday Reference Guides are meant to provide step-by-step guidance at the highest level for each business process, with emphasis on standardization.
