Worker Profile Overview
Click your picture (or cloud icon) on the top right of the screen to access the profile page.
When you arrive at your Worker Profile, you’re presented a summary of your employment record:
- The Blue Ribbon Menu
- Your Manager
- Your Job Details
- Summary card (if you have other profiles like student, you can switch between your profiles in this area)
Blue Ribbon Menu
The Blue Ribbon Menu of the Worker Profile is a ‘one-stop-shop’ for your employment record. By default, you arrive on the ‘Summary’ tab. Each section offers information related to that subject, and many sections (e.g. Time Off, Contact, Personal, Performance, & Career) offer quick access to various actions (e.g. requesting time off, changing contact/personal information, and updating career history).
You can also use the Actions Button, just under your name, to view a list of all available actions you can take; more on this in the next section.
Ribbon Menu / Actions Button
The Actions Button is synonymous with ‘Additional Actions’ buttons that you will find next to business objects in Workday. Actions buttons allow you to see available actions for whatever object you’re viewing.
In the case of the Actions Button on your Worker Profile, the menu that appears provides you with available actions you can take on your own record.
Below is a limited list of the sections (most common) within Actions and a brief description of what they offer. Your records may look different depending on your position or access rights in Workday.
| Action | |
|---|---|
| Benefits | The Benefits section in the Actions menu allows you to request a Benefit Change, View Benefit information (current elections, beneficiaries, dependents, forms, history, etc). |
| Business Process | Primarily for managers, the Business Process section in the Actions menu allows you to manage delegation settings and view specific information related to business process actions for you as an employee. |
| Payroll | The Payroll section of the Actions menu allows you to manage your Tax Documents printing elections and view your tax documents, in general. |
| Personal Data | The Personal section of the Actions menu offers you access to View/Change your Contact Information, Emergency contacts, and Personal Information. You can also manage your self-identification items (Veteran Status and/or Disability), Complete an I-9 form (as needed), and/or Maintain Payment Elections/Direct Deposit. |
| Time and Absence | The Time and Leave section offers access to Enter Time (for hourly employees), Request Absence, or View Absence Balances. |
| Worker History | The Worker History section is your go-to place to find all actions that pertain to you as an employee. Clicking ‘View Worker History’ presents a table with Business Processes (such as your Hire), associated Dates, and statuses all in one place. |
