Background

Continuous Service Date Automation

The project focused on automating the management of Continuous Service Dates within Workday HCM for employees who returned to the University after a short break in service. The solution automatically identified eligible rehire scenarios and updated employee records based on defined business rules. This eliminated manual HR processing, improved data consistency, and ensured accurate employment history across the Workday platform.

Rehire Eligibility Validation

HR teams needed to determine whether employees met the required business rules for continuous service eligibility.

03

Administrative Overhead

Manual processing increased workload for HR teams and delayed employee record updates.

Data Consistency Challenges

Maintaining accurate employment history across Workday required a consistent and automated approach.
