Workday Cutover

The Workday Cutover webpage provides a centralized resource to support employees during the transition to Workday. It outlines key deadlines for completing activities in current systems, identifies when those systems will become unavailable, and highlights when tasks will begin in Workday. This page will be updated regularly to ensure employees have access to the most current information throughout the cutover period.

Employees are encouraged to reference this page regularly, as it will be updated with the latest information throughout the cutover period.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Workday cutover?

Cutover is the transition period when we move from our current systems into Workday. During this time, certain activities and tasks in existing systems will be limited or frozen while we transition to using Workday.

What are freeze dates?

Freeze dates are the period of time when certain systems are unavailable for updates or processing. These temporary freezes are necessary to ensure data is accurately transferred to Workday.

What happens if I miss a deadline?

If a deadline is missed, additional steps may be required to enter or correct information in Workday after go-live. Missed deadlines can also result in delays in processing. Specific guidance may be provided if this occurs.

Will training be available?

Yes. Training resources and support materials will be provided to help employees prepare for using Workday.
