General HCM and Staffing

HCM stands for Human Capital Management. HCM is the area of Workday which refers to the tools and practices used to recruit workers, onboard new hires and manage jobs for employees.


General HCM iconGeneral HCM

The general HCM hub covers foundational concepts including worker types and staffing models, supervisory organizations, the job catalog, worker profiles, security roles, and worktags.

Terminology

  • Supervisory Organizations – A supervisory organization (sup org) groups workers into a management hierarchy, laying out who reports to whom.
  • Job Management – A job management staffing model defines one set of hiring restrictions for all jobs in a sup org without limits on the number of seats to be filled.  
  • Position Management – A position management staffing model defines different staffing rules and restrictions for each position in a sup org. 
  • Job Profile – Job profiles contain job details including title, pay rate type, compensation, skills, and other qualifications. A job profile includes a general summary, position description, and key characteristics. 
  • Worker Profile – The worker profile contains basic information about a worker, including an overview of their position and contact information. This is the worker’s "account" page and many of their self-service actions can be initiated from their worker profile. It can be viewed by other workers and the visibility of sensitive information is controlled by a worker’s security role. 
  • Employee – An employee is a worker type that is paid by a partner institution. 
  • Contingent Worker – Contingent workers are not paid by any of the partner institutions and who need access to Workday or downstream systems controlled by Workday.
  • Academic Affiliate – An academic affiliate serves as a Special Member of the Graduate Faculty. It is a non-paid worker type. 
  • Security Role – A security role is a data security assignment for workers in Workday to provide access permissions to initiate certain business processes, access information, and review or approve business processes, requests, and tasks.

Form I-9 in Workday iconForm I-9

U.S. employers must ensure proper completion of Form I-9 for each individual they hire for employment in the United States. Workday is the system where the I-9 Form will be completed and submitted to E-Verify for verification. E-Verify is an internet-based system that compares information from a completed Form I-9 to records available to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and Social Security Administration to confirm authorization to work in the United States. All paid workers must complete an I-9; an individual must accept the offer of employment before the Form I-9 can be initiated and completed.  

Each worker holding the I-9 Partner security role must complete the I-9 Form in Workday course and the required training with their university's human resources office. Contact your university human resources office to learn more about the process.

 

Applications (Apps)

  • I-9 Dashboard – I-9 Partners and Central I-9 Partners use the I-9 Dashboard app to view I-9 reports and actions in Workday.

Hire and Onboarding iconHire and Onboarding

Employees can be hired through a search and recruitment process or as a stand-alone, or ad hoc, hire. Onboarding is a sub-process that happens once the hire is in a status of completion. Hire and onboarding workflows are determined by the partner institution, the type of position, and hiring conditions.

Key Concepts

  • A position must be available to hire a stand-alone, or ad hoc, hire into the Position Management (PM) staffing model.
  • If a current employee in one partner institution leaves to accept a position with another partner institution, they are not processed as a new hire. A Change Job is completed.
  • Once hired, a new employee uses their single sign-on credentials to access Workday and their Worker Profile to complete their onboarding tasks. They keep the same account throughout their tenure with the partner institutions, even if hired at another campus.
  • There are many tasks associated with Hire and Onboarding. Some of the tasks are conditional meaning that they do not occur for every hire.
