"Seamless Time, Attendance, and Payroll Integration That Reduces Manual Work"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Workday Workforce Management?

Workday Workforce Management makes it easy to manage time, attendance, and scheduling in one place without jumping between systems. The biggest upside is how seamlessly it connects with core HCM and Payroll when worker data changes, schedules, time entries, and calculations update automatically. The mobile experience is also strong, so employees can clock in, request time off, and check schedules without needing help. For administrators, the audit trails, validations, and real-time visibility into exceptions make it much easier to catch issues before payroll runs. Overall, it reduces manual work, improves accuracy, and keeps everything consistent across the worker lifecycle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workday Workforce Management?

Some areas of Workday Workforce Management can feel overly complex, especially when configuring eligibility rules, time calculations, or custom schedules. Small configuration changes sometimes require multiple layers of testing because one rule can impact several downstream processes. The user interface for managers can also feel dense when they're trying to quickly review exceptions or approve time. Reporting is powerful, but building custom time reports can take more effort than expected. When organizations have unique union rules or multiple pay groups, setup can become time-consuming. Overall, it works well, but it requires strong governance and knowledgeable support to keep everything running smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Workday Workforce Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

Workday Workforce Management helps solve the challenge of keeping time, attendance, scheduling, and payroll aligned without relying on disconnected systems. It reduces manual corrections by validating time entries in real time and flagging exceptions before payroll runs. It also solves compliance issues by centralizing rules for overtime, meal breaks, shift differentials, and eligibility so managers don't have to interpret policies manually. For HR and Payroll, it eliminates duplicate data entry because worker updates flow automatically across time, scheduling, and pay calculations. Overall, it improves accuracy, reduces administrative workload, and gives both employees and managers a clearer, more reliable view of their schedules and time.
