Workday Points of Interest: What You Need to Know Advanced Compensation
Advanced Compensation has been developed in Workday to enhance our compensation planning process. While this new functionality will not be used for the upcoming October rate increases, it will be implemented for the March 2026 review cycle. Starting with the March 2026 review cycle, performance reviews will be completed prior to compensation change recommendations to better align evaluations with compensation decisions. Advanced Compensation will strengthen the connection between a non-trade employee’s performance evaluation and their rate increase, creating a more consistent and transparent process. Additionally, it will streamline compensation planning by providing online access to data, eliminating the need for the previous BGL individual worksheets. More information and training materials on Advanced Compensation will be shared in the coming months. Certified Payroll Reports We’re pleased to announce that Certified Payroll Reports are now available within Workday. We recognize there was a delay in making this important report accessible and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. This report has been a high priority, and we appreciate your patience as we worked to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the data before release. If you have any questions or concerns regarding Certified Payroll Reports, please contact the Corporate Payroll Department for assistance. Fall Performance & Development Reviews We’re excited to announce that the Fall Performance and Development Review cycle is being launched and managed through Workday for the first time! This new process allows for a more streamlined, user-friendly experience for both employees and managers. To help guide you through the steps, a recorded training is available and can be accessed here: Fall Employee Reviews in Workday - Recorded Training.
We encourage everyone to take a few minutes to review the training and familiarize themselves with the new system to ensure a smooth and successful review process.
Jobsite Rates Update During implementation, we experienced a brief hiccup with jobsite-specific pay rates; however, this issue has now been fully resolved. Employees who receive a jobsite-specific rate have been assigned an additional job (position) in Workday that reflects that rate. When entering time on their Workday timesheet, it is important that employees select the correct position associated with the jobsite where the work was performed to ensure accurate payroll processing. Workday Security Workday security remains a key area of focus, and it is something we will continue to evaluate and improve over the coming months. We fully understand that there is a business need for certain roles to access specific employee data in order to support day-to-day operations and decision-making.
As we move forward, our goal is to ensure that Workday access is aligned appropriately with the responsibilities of each position. This means setting up the right level of access based on business needs, while maintaining the integrity and privacy of sensitive data.
Workers’ Compensation Payroll Report The Workers’ Compensation Payroll Report has now been finalized and fully implemented in Workday. This report was not available at the time of our initial go-live, but has since been developed and is now active. Risk Management has resumed distribution of these reports and is back on the regular schedule for sending them out to the jobsites that require them.
