News and Announcements

We are transitioning to Workday on July 1, 2025.

Workday training courses are available in Canvas.

 

To stay up-to-date during this transition period, please see UW HR's tranisition page: https://uwservice.wisconsin.edu/administration/transition 

 

This transition will include migrating several of our current processes, including those in HRS and PeopleAdmin, which will have a significant impact on our recruiting and onboarding procedures in the coming months. There will be a freeze period from June 14, 2025 – July 6, 2025, that we will be unable to make any changes to current employee records or onboard new employees.

 

To ensure a smooth transition, we are making the following adjustments:

Slowdown in New Recruiting Requests: 
•    We encourage you to enter any positions for which you plan to recruit into BP Logix now or in the coming days. Our aim is to see these request steadily decline toward the end of March with all Request to Recruit (RTR) form submissions entered by April 1, 2025. This will provide time to complete recruitment before the system transition.
•    All recruited positions posted and finalized in PeopleAdmin by May 1, 2025. Reminder: a posting must remain open for a minimum of 2 weeks for general positions and 4 weeks for faculty positions. 

New Employee Onboarding Freeze Period:
•    All hiring proposals for Faculty, Academic Staff, University Staff, and Limited Appointments must be submitted by June 1, 2025, to allow up to two weeks for background check processing. 
•    We will be able to onboard new and rehired employees in HRS until June 13, 2025. During the freeze period, we will not be able to onboard new hires until Workday is live on July 7, 2025.  This includes student employment.

Timely Submission of New Hire Summer Appointments in PeopleAdmin:
•    To allow sufficient time for processing, please submit ad hoc hiring proposals before May 23, 2025.  As a reminder, any ad hoc hiring proposals should be submitted at least 2 weeks before the start date.
•    Please allow time for reference check processing through Skill Survey where applicable.  We recommend allowing at least one week prior to the deadline for processing.
•    As we anticipate a high volume of onboarding leading up to the freeze period, please make every effort to submit your appointments to HR as early as possible. This will help ensure a smoother process and avoid delays.

BP Logix Summer Appointment Forms:
•    Please submit all summer appointment forms for rehires by June 1.
•    Those not submitted before the June 1 deadline will need to be processed in Workday after July 7.

Hiring Pool Adjustments:
•    If you are utilizing a hiring pool, please do not direct candidates to apply if they will not be onboarded before June 14, 2025. Any applicants who apply and are not onboarded by this date will need to reapply to a new posting after the Workday transition. To ensure a better candidate experience, it is recommended that you hold off on directing such candidates to apply.
•    All pool applicants not on a summer appointment, regardless of prior employment, must reapply in Workday.  

Please note, we will share more information on fall hiring and provide guidance once we learn more about how this will function in Workday.
