Workday Terminology: Non-Employee Population
After Workday is live, you will see the term Non-Employee Population (NEP), which refers to any person affiliated with the university who does not have employment status. These types of individuals are often also referred to as “Guests.”
While certain types of NEP records will only be visible via Find People (such as Visiting Students), other NEP records will be visible in Workday. Guests whose information resides in Workday are classified in two distinct ways: Contingent Workers and Academic Affiliates.
What you need to do:
- Review the Non-Employee Population (NEP) Summary.
- Contact enterprise-project@osu.edu with questions.
