Workday FAQs

Endicott College’s Strategic Plan outlines four themes: Power of Place, Innovative Culture, Transformational Learning, and Strength of Story. Certainly, Workday supports all of these; however, most obviously, it lends itself to Innovative Culture. With the help of Workday, we will see a college that is more Data Informed & Technology Energized; competitive in Talent Acquisition, Retention & Development; and, committed to An Inclusive & Engaged Community. Ultimately, current Workday higher education institutions report an increased ability to channel resources to our number one goal: student success.

Workday is a provider of cloud-based software that specializes in applications for financial management (FIN), payroll (PATT), human capital management (HCM), and student information system (SIS).

Workday allows Endicott College to modernize our systems and centralize them into a single integrated medium. Currently, we house information across systems that are outdated, not fully integrated and difficult to use. Workday allows for an intuitive and self-service user experience, as well as on-demand access, increased efficiency, less error, and greater access to data.

Everyone at Endicott uses Workday. Employees manage payslips, tax documents, compensation, time off, and performance appraisals, while hourly staff clock in and out. Managers handle recruiting and budgeting, and designated users process purchasing, invoices, and expenses.

Through Workday Student, students, faculty, and staff manage course registration, advising, grading, and financials. Overall, Workday provides a self-service platform for Endicott’s core business operations.

All training resources for students, faculty and staff can be found on our internal Workday@Endicott website. Access the website from your okta dashboard or by typing workdayhelp.endicott.edu into your browser. (note: you will need to be logged onto your Endicott Google/Gmail account to view this website)

Workday Platform (Finance, PATT, HCM) is replacing ADP, JazzHR, financial, and budget modules of the Jenzabar CARS/CX system, and electronic (Etrieve) and paper forms dealing with hiring, purchasing, credit cards, and check requests.

Workday Student is replacing registration through MyEndicott, many etrieve forms, Jenzabar CARS/CX system for student records, financials, financial aid and more.

Workday also replaces Parent Portal. If you are a parent or family member of an Endicott student and you previously used Parent Portal to access your student’s information and make payments, please work with your student to set up your new Workday Friends & Family account.
