Human Resources Key Dates and Actions

With the implementation of Workday and our last payroll in PeopleSoft quickly approaching, we wanted to share some important HR and Payroll deadlines so you can plan accordingly.  

The last payroll in PeopleSoft will be PPE June 23, 2022.

Job Postings and Hires*

WHY? The recruiting/hiring process is transitioning to Workday.

Jobs will be posted for up to two weeks after the June 17 deadline. All postings must have an end date of June 30th at the latest.

Departments can continue to finish their recruitments in PageUp.  Managers will maintain the applicant flow through PageUp to the point of offer. At hire, Managers will use Direct Hire in Workday.

WHY? The recruiting/hiring process is transitioning to Workday.

There will be a freeze period on these actions from June 1-30. 

WHY? PeopleSoft was cloned on April 28 and actions that take place between April 29 and June 23 will need to be caught up in Workday. The goal of this freeze is to reduce the number of transactions that will need to be caught up in Workday.

Due to this transition from PeopleSoft to Workday and the critical importance of ensuring accurate information into Workday for new hire payroll, there will be a hiring and onboarding pause for 9 business days beginning June 24, 2022, through July 7, 2022.

Please note there will be exceptions to this hiring pause, including:
• Medical resident hires who require insurance by July 1
• Hires who signed offer letters as of May 19th and who will begin employment during this pause period
• Individuals who must be hired on a specific date due to immigration requirements
• Adjuncts for Summer B sessions

WHY?  As the university plans for conversion to Workday, the Knight Vision team continues to identify changes in processes that in the future state will provide efficiency and reduce the cost of doing business. In this spirit, as Workday goes live, the university will no longer require purchase orders (POs) for travel.  Authorization to travel will be documented through another process within Workday, which will be fully revealed later.  As such, all travel requisitions and POs will be closed at the end of this fiscal year.

WHAT ACTIONS SHOULD YOU TAKE?

  • Identify current and noncurrent expenses.
    • Generally, current expenses are those that under normal university procedures should be paid prior to July 1, 2022.
    • Noncurrent expenses should be paid after July 1, 2022.
  • Identify travel POs currently open or future travel requisitions and POs
    • Only current expenses should be included or paid. Examples include conference registration, airfare, and other expenses that are required to be paid prior to travel.
    • Examples of noncurrent expenses include lodging, transportation, per diem, etc.
    • POs with noncurrent expenses will have those lines canceled.
    • Requisitions with noncurrent expense lines will not be approved.

WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?

  • After Go-Live, on July 1, 2022,  the university will no longer require purchase orders (POs) for travel and will utilize a different process via the Workday system.

WHY?  Beginning July 1, 2022, all UCF employees will be utilizing the Workday system for HR and financials – replacing PeopleSoft HCM and Financials. Personal information currently accessed through Employee Self Service will not be transferred to Workdayso employees will only have direct access to documents from any date earlier than July 1 prior to Go-Live.  

WHAT ACTIONS SHOULD YOU TAKE?
