Preparing for Workday@Penn: Go-Live on July 1
Workday@Penn goes live on July 1, 2019. As we make the transition from legacy systems to the new platform, a “freeze” period during the last few days of June will restrict changes to information in the affected systems. If you have a change to make to your personal information, we suggest you make it in the current systems before 5 p.m. EDT on June 12. Otherwise, you will be able to make your changes in Workday@Penn starting July 1. Some examples of these changes include:
- Changing your direct deposit information
- Changing your home address or emergency contact
- Declaring a qualifying life event for your benefits
If you have an emergency request during the freeze, please contact the Penn Employee Solution Center at (215) 898-7372 or hcmsolutioncenter@upenn.edu
The freeze will allow the rapid transition from legacy systems, also known as cutover, to Workday@Penn; the final snapshot of data is used for conversion. Some human resources and payroll administration systems may freeze at different dates.
Your current personal record, payroll data, benefits information and more will convert to Workday@Penn automatically, with no action needed from you. Workday@Penn is the new human resources and payroll platform, replacing many separate and aging systems with one state-of-the-art platform. More information on the freeze is available on Your Workday webpage at https://www.workday.upenn.edu/home/your-workday for general University users, or on the Cutover Calendar webpage at https://tinyurl.com/yypl362n for human resources, payroll, and business partners and administrators.
