Reminder: Human Resources Cutover Dates
The Workday cutover period is when we will transfer business processes from Banner to Workday. To ensure a smooth transition, there will be several dates in the fall when we will begin to limit or temporarily suspend certain kinds of activities. This will help ensure we have accurate data to move to the new system and will minimize the errors that could occur if transactions are entered into Banner after we begin moving information to Workday.
Key Dates and Actions for Human Resource Transactions:
- October 1, 2024: Limit new hiring, reorganizations, position evaluations, and salary adjustments. Effective dates for any of these activities will be January 13th.
- October 15, 2024: Last date for new one-time payment requests until January 1st.
- November 1, 2024: The Office of Human Resources will focus on supporting Workday training and will therefore suspend most other annual HR training offerings.
What Continues Without Interruption:
- Employee "Open Enrollment" for calendar year 2025 benefits and qualifying benefit changes
- New employee orientations
- Interim pay that is already in effect
- Processing resignations and retirements
- Recruitment efforts for open positions with start dates on or after January 13th
- HR's review of positions and reorganization requests (with effective dates January 13th or later)
