Our students had a hard time navigating some of the hiring processes and the required items. Also - sometimes the way the administration had put in how to navigate hourly wages/vacation/sick were a bit comfusing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Workday Student:

Make sure you're working closely with customer support when making UI when it comes to vacation/sick/hourly wages. Sometimes you may mess up and have your workers navigating unfortunate work-arounds for documenting information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Workday Student solving and how is that benefiting you?

Hiring Student Workers. It was accessible through both mobile and desktop technology - and it was easy to connect students with required data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"tide and clean UI"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Workday Student?

UI is easy to navigate and use.

Has a lot of functions/features combined in one website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workday Student?

Sometimes hard to find certain things I want.

Too less tutorial to go through the dashboard and explain the items. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Workday Student:

It would be better if I can see the current status and also expected received time for things I'm waiting to get.

The website could be more interactive rather than just presenting a lot of information for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I was recording my work-time at school using Workday Student.

"Review of Workday Software"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Workday Student?

The workday interface is clean and easy to use. The calendar format for entering work hours makes it easy to log and keep track of your work hours.

Another useful feature of Workday is that it is possible to complete documents for Tax and other legal requirements using the software. The fields are easy to fill and the information is then used to generate the required documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workday Student?

It is difficult to open documents using the Workday interface. When you request to view a document, it asks you to wait for few minutes or to be notified later.

The names of the generated documents are very complex. Using the current system of notification and complex names, when I click on multiple documents to be opened, it gets very confusing as to which one is what.

Its notification system can be improved. There are times when I was not even aware that I had important messages in my payroll system. Email notifications and other forms of notifications that highight the importance of the message can be very useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Workday Student solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Workday student version to fill in my everyday work hours and get paid accordingly. The biggest benefit of using the system is that it stores all kinds of employment details and documents that include payroll information.

It was a fairly easy to onboarding and I did not struggle to understand how to use teh software. I liked the way that the information and buttons have been placed. The informations are in the right category. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Works well - probably one of the better solutions on the market"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Workday Student?

Definitely one of the most user-friendly SIS's I've come across. Most places tend to rely completely on Oracle (nightmare). Ease-of-use, to me, is just as important as utility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workday Student?

Could use more functionality and would love for it to "feel" faster, tighter, more responsive, and overall more a tad more enterprise - but hopefully that will be resolved in future versions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Workday Student:

I think it's the right bandwagon to jump on. They have an excellent product and it ties in nicely with other HR solutions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Workday Student solving and how is that benefiting you?

The obvious - offering our student body an information system to manage and view records. It's a given business need if you're in the higher education space. More competition in the arena has been good to see. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good UI, Intuitive design"

4/5

What do you like best about Workday Student?

The user interface is nicely designed, with large and clearly labeled buttons and other features. Also, the design is fairly intuitive. Most students easily pick up on how to use this tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workday Student?

Some features are redundant and not obvious. As a result, they require continuous explaining and it can be difficult to contact students to train them correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Workday Student:

Overall, this product is very helpful. It significantly cuts down on the amount of paperwork and outside tracking of students. As someone who has worked in different higher education institutions managing students, Workday is not significantly better in terms of practical applications of student management. However, it is mostly easy to use for students and staff and is a powerful took in terms of being able to do many different tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Workday Student solving and how is that benefiting you?

Easy communication, reduce hard copy paperwork, reduce back up file storage needed (since Workday stores everything) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
