Workday has two major releases of enhancements and new functionality annually, and the next release is March 12. This update includes a new search feature on the external careers site that allows a split view so applicants can view job details without leaving the search results page.
While this will primarily impact our external job applicants, the HR community needs to be aware of the changes should they receive questions.
Changes include:
New look and feel of the external career site starting March 12. Workday now appends the search filter/keywords to the end of the URL allowing for a direct link to filtered search pages, providing HR Recruiters with the ability to directly advertise specific filtered positions for their area(s). The page will retain the search criteria after clicking into a posting providing a split view, whereas before, the applicant had to reenter the search upon returning to the search page.

Many of the changes coming in the release are behind the scenes and will not be immediately noticeable. A Workday 2021R2 job aid is available in the Administrative Resource Center that explains the system changes that will be noticeable in more detail .

Workday plans to release a new user interface for payroll costing allocations as part of the March 15 2025R1 update.
The changes will provide a new display for the "Proposed Costing Allocations" tab that enables users to perform the functions listed below.
Add, edit, remove, and sort ranges of costing allocations by start date or end date Copy costing allocations of a specified date range
The updates also include an "Existing Costing Allocations" tab where users can view the items listed below.
Existing costing allocations for the specified costing criteria An empty grid when a worker doesn’t have any costing allocations
The two tabs will be accessible from the user’s inbox whenever the Assign Costing Allocation task is used as a subprocess (for example, as part of the Create Position or Hire Process).
Workday is adding a new Salary Over the Cap (SOC) Default Costing Allocation Details grid with the new user interface for payroll costing allocations, as part of the March 15 2025R1 update.
This gives users a new option to specify SOC costing defaults instead of entering SOC costing overrides in the SOC "Bubble" for each individual costing allocation where SOC applies. The SOC costing overrides can still be used at the individual costing allocation level. A summary of these new levels of functionality is listed below.
The new SOC default costing allocation overrides the Default Org assignment. The SOC “Bubble” costing will override the SOC default costing allocation. If the bubble or the SOC default costing allocation are not used, the SOC will use the default Organization Assignment.
The new grid will display columns for each primary worktag and group any additional worktags into the Additional Worktags column.
During the week of Monday, January 27, a new interface was released for Payroll Accounting Adjustments (PAAs) for retroactive payroll posted on a paycheck. Listed below is a high-level summary of the changes.
If there is a retro pay period associated with the earnings they are trying to move, PAA Specialists will need to select the correct retro period. Due to this change, the Retro Period Date will now associate the PAA with a pay period. The budget date will default to the budget date of the retro period. This update ties Effort and PAA's for retroactive time in a more efficient way and allows for cleaner effort reporting.
The help resources listed below are newly created or updated to assist with this change.
