If you’re taking time off this holiday season, take a minute to set up your delegations in Workday. Delegations allow you to assign certain tasks to another person while you’re away, helping to keep things moving until you’re back. See details below:
- The person you delegate to can only act on the specific tasks you assign, and only within the security access you already have.
- Delegating a task doesn’t shift ownership, you’re still the original owner. When your delegation period ends, any unfinished tasks are returned to your inbox.
- If an employee is already out or unable to manage their own delegations, a manager or business manager can submit a Delegation Request for Other Worker.
- Refer to the Delegate Inbox Tasks job aid for instructions.
