With Workday’s time and absence features, you’ll actually look forward to logging your time. The new tool will make it quicker and easier to log time off as well as time worked. You can also see where your requests are in the approval process.
The Manage Absence Calendar replaces our current tools to track time off and leaves of absence, plus includes new features — so you can manage your time all in one place.
The Absence Calendar will make it easier to:
- Request time off and track the approval process
- See your past and future time off requests
- See your absence balances in real time
- Forecast your time off balance based on proposed time off
- Request and view time off for all positions
For times when you’re on the go, you will have the option of using the Workday Mobile app (iOS and Android) to complete tasks like:
- Enter, review, or approve time worked
- View time off balances
- Submit or approve time off requests
- Check and modify work schedules
Managers will use the Time and Scheduling Hub to approve time off and time worked, plus create work schedules. The Team Absence Calendar will show all time off requests for the team in one place to help supervisors anticipate staffing needs.
