Workday Release 2022R2 Coming Sept. 10

The second of Workday's two major releases in 2022 of enhancements and new functionality is scheduled to move to production on Saturday, September 10, from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. Workday will be unavailable during the maintenance period.

Changes that all users will see for this release include global navigation menu changes and table navigation enhancements. A Workday 2022R2 job aid is available in the Administrative Resource Center (ARC) where expected changes will be explained in more detail as they are identified. The OTDI and central business area teams are continually evaluating the release to determine what additions and updates are needed to the job aid.

As with the monthly and quarterly planned maintenance communicated throughout the year, Kronos and external dormakaba time clocks will be available during the maintenance, but employees using Workday to clock in and out should enter their hours once Workday is available again.
