Updated Features in Workday’s Benefits, Comp and Pay Hub
Get ready for a smoother, more streamlined Workday self-service experience. On September 20, Workday will unveil an updated Benefits, Comp and Pay Hub, allowing faculty, staff, postdocs, temporary, and student workers to access information and manage self-service transactions more easily. The update includes the following:
- You can use the hub’s Pay tab now to access the same information and tasks as the standalone, legacy Pay App. Workday will eliminate its standalone, legacy Pay App during its second major release of 2025 on September 20. (Additional details regarding the hub’s features are below).
- On September 20, the hub’s Pay tab will display any arrears balances that occur if a pay period’s net pay is insufficient to cover a deduction, such as benefits, commuter and parking, and union dues.
- Also on September 20, the Compensation tab will provide an improved view of a worker’s total rewards.
The Benefits, Comp and Pay Hub is under the personal category in Workday’s global apps menu. Faculty, staff, postdocs, temporary, and student workers have quick access to current and former payslips, tax records, and eligible benefits information and documentation. Workers can make updates to tax withholding elections, payment elections (direct deposit), benefits, and beneficiaries.
In the hub, Workday automatically hides financial values to provide data privacy for sensitive information. You can simply select the eye icon to reveal the information.
The hub consists of tabs you can find in the left navigation panel.
- The Overview tab provides access to tasks and reports such as withholding elections, payment elections, change benefits, and tax documents. It displays the most recent pay, deductions, and current benefits costs.
- The Benefits tab provides details on benefits such as the pay period’s cost of benefits, details on healthcare and accounts, other insurance coverages, as well as any additional benefits. Workers can find benefits by date, dependent and beneficiary information, and make changes, as necessary.
- The Pay tab provides worker payment information, including payslips, access to compare periods, pay history, and earnings/deductions history. The “Model My Pay” helps workers see how making changes to deductions and tax elections may impact their “take-home” pay.
- The Compensation tab provides access to staff merit letters, total rewards, and compensation summaries.
- The Suggested Links tab consolidates access to important resources such as enrollment guides and key service providers who help manage worker benefits, compensation, and pay.
Step-by-step instructions for self-service access and transactions are available in the self-service category of Workday tip sheets. For additional assistance, please contact the Penn Employee Solution Center online or by calling (215) 898-7372.
