Human Resources & Payroll (HRP)

The eFAST team does not provision HR/Payroll security roles. While Workday is one platform, security roles related to Human Resources and Payroll are completed by the ISC. Please visit the ISC webpage to learn more.

Delegating Financial Tasks due to Employee Vacations or Sick Leave

If an employee will be out of the office for some time, it is best practice to request that their inbox be delegated. This will allow co-workers with the right training to act as a backup and complete any tasks that only the absent employee can do. For instance, if the employee initiated an expense report and it was sent back, only that employee can complete the “to do” tasks that may be associated with it. Delegating allows others to act on their behalf. Any delegation will allow an employee to still act on their behalf and have access to their inbox. All requests for delegations should be sent to efast@uw.edu with the following information:

  • Employee Name
  • Employee NetID
  • Start Date of Delegation
  • End Date of Delegation
  • Which workday financial Business processes should be delegated
  • Names of Delegates with their NetID
  • What tasks will each delegate perform (you can list multiple delegates for a single task)

Please note that the shared environment team does not delegate Human Resources/ Payroll delegations. The shared environment only processes Workday Financials Requests.
