The second of Workday's two major releases of enhancements and new functionality in 2026 will move to production on Saturday, September 19. Workday will be unavailable from 2 a.m. to 5 a.m. while the release is applied. This release includes updates to the Workday user experience, including refreshed visual design elements like rounded page elements, menus, and buttons and changes to My Tasks and Notifications. See the 2026R2 job aid for details. The job aid will be updated regularly as new information becomes available, leading up to and through the release on September 19.
Kronos and external dormakaba time clocks will be available, but employees using Workday to clock in and out should enter their hours once Workday is available again. Important downtime information for Health System Supply Chain users is available on the secure Workday maintenance page (login required).
