Welcome

Welcome to the November edition of our monthly e-newsletter, Workday@Yale, with information on the University’s transition to the campus-wide unified Human Resources, Payroll and Finance information system, Workday.

The HR/Payroll team is moving into the Testing Phase of the timeline. During this phase, they will be focused on validating the functional configuration of Workday with Yale’s HR/Payroll business processes.
