Workday
Can I check my pay stubs and request time off directly from the Workday app?
Yes, the app makes it easy to view your pay stubs with a simple notification every payday, and you can request vacation days in just a few taps—even from a grocery store line. It also includes a company directory with photos and job titles to help you identify colleagues.
Does the Workday app let me update my tax forms on my phone?
Absolutely, you can update tax forms and other HR documents directly in the app, which is much more convenient than waiting to log in on a laptop. Just be aware that you may need to re-enter your password fairly often due to frequent logouts.
Why does the Workday app log me out so often, and is there a way to stay logged in?
Frequent logouts are a built-in security measure to protect your sensitive work data, especially since the app contains personal info like your salary and Social Security number. Unfortunately, there’s no way to disable this, but it helps keep your information safe if your phone is lost or stolen.
Some sections in the Workday app are hard to read on my phone—what can I do?
Certain areas, like retirement plan details, are copied from the desktop site and aren’t optimized for small screens, making them look like a wall of text. For those sections, try rotating your phone to landscape mode or use the desktop site on a laptop for a better view.
How does Workday compare to apps like ADP or BambooHR for managing HR tasks?
Workday offers a more modern, smooth experience for everyday tasks like pay stubs and time-off requests, but its mobile app can feel cluttered with complex HR data. Competitors like ADP are often simpler for payroll, while BambooHR excels in user-friendly design, but Workday’s company directory and instant approvals are standout features.
