Business Process Delegation Updates for Finance and Human Resources

Beginning on Friday, May 24, delegation will be enabled on several Workday business processes. Prior to this change, delegation was only enabled on time tracking and financial business processes.  These changes will make the functionality available to human resources business processes. 

 If you have a step in the process, you will be able to use the "Request Delegation" task to temporarily delegate your work to an appropriate individual because you will be out of the office or otherwise unavailable to complete or approve transactions in Workday. Delegation will be available for the business processes listed below.

• Add Additional Job  
• Assign Costing Allocation (Cost Center Manager was added with the position control project)   
• Change Job  
• Change Organization Assignments for Worker  
• Create Payroll Accounting Adjustments  
• Edit Position 
• Edit Position Restrictions  
• Job Requisition  
• Offer  
• Period Activity Pay  
• Request Compensation Change   
• Request One-Time Payment 

This expanded functionality offers the benefits of (1) a formalized process for assigning work to appropriate and responsible parties when planning time away and (2) assurance that your time-sensitive tasks have been appropriately delegated and can be managed in your absence, thereby providing peace of mind while away.

 Delegation requests should be for 30 days or less unless there are extenuating circumstances (e.g., employee on a leave of absence) that may require up to 180 days of delegation. Refer to the delegation job aid in the Administrative Resource Center for more information. Additionally, an enhancement was made to include the worker job profile on the "Delegations History - OSU" (Tableau Report). Please make sure to monitor the report monthly to ensure delegations are appropriate.
