Workday

Workplace tasks in one app

Workday is a business app for employees and managers who use Workday at their organisation. It brings everyday HR and work administration into a mobile interface, including time tracking, timesheets, expenses, payslips and time-off requests. Employees can also check in or out, view workplace information and find internal jobs or gigs.

Useful for employees on the move

The app suits people who need to handle routine work matters away from a desk. You can review payslips, submit expenses, complete timesheets, request leave and receive reminders for outstanding tasks. It also includes access to training content and information about colleagues, making it more than a simple attendance or payroll tool.

• Submit timesheets and expenses
• Request time off and check work status
• View payslips and workplace notifications
• Access training and internal opportunities

More than an employee portal

Managers get a broader set of controls. They can approve requests, review employee profiles and timesheets, manage roles, handle compensation changes and complete performance reviews. Reports, dashboards and hours tracking are included for teams that already use Workday for workforce administration.

How it compares

Workday makes the most sense when your employer already runs its HR processes through Workday. Its advantage over a collection of separate payroll, leave and scheduling apps is having those tasks in one place. The trade-off is that its usefulness depends on what your organisation has enabled, so the experience may be broader for one employee and narrower for another.

With a 4.31 rating from about 246,782 reviews and more than 10 million installs, Workday is widely used. It is published by Workday, Inc., and is aimed at workplace administration rather than personal productivity or general team chat.
