Workday-HCM: Hiring for HR and Managers
- Tammy Voigt
Overview:
This document explains how Managers and HR can hire employees.
There are two types of Hiring: from Recruitment and Direct Hires. Hires from Recruitment are Regular, Fixed Term, or Temporary Openings that need a search. Direct Hires are Temporary Openings that do not need a search.
If an employee is being rehired, they will go through the Hire process.
HR confirms the details for the worker and position, including FTE, job classifications, and key dates.
Contract details may be automatically populated based on position and contract attributes and then editable by the preparer before sending for signatures.
See Appendix on how to create a Pre-Hire.
Recommendations:
The recommended browser for accessing Workday is Google Chrome. However, Mozilla Firefox and Apple Safari may also be used.
Considerations by Institution
FSU, Ubalt and SU have an additional approval for the Central Budget Manager after the HCM Division Executive review.
