Workday & Adaptive Release – 1.23.26

HIGHLIGHTS:
What’s New or Improved
Demotions access clarification
To better align with role expectations and our HR policies, demotions will now only be processed by a Manager or HR Director in Workday. PAR Partners will no longer see the Demotion option in the Job Change menu, aligning the system with HR policy and role expectations.
- Who’s impacted: Managers, HR Directors, PAR Partners
New required step required for Candidates
A new step has been added to the Ready to Hire process: candidates must submit their date of birth from their Candidate Home page before PAR Partners can complete the Hire business process.
- This ensures required employee data is collected earlier, supporting a smoother hire and onboarding process.
Recruiting FAQ
Why don’t I see the “Ready to Hire” step for a candidate?
- Internal candidates:
Recruiters must manually check the YL Screening boxes in Workday for the Ready to Hire step to appear. - External candidates:
YL Screening must be completed by the candidate. Once finished, the required checkboxes will automatically populate, allowing the candidate to move forward.
Adaptive
What’s New or Improved
Create and modify Adaptive reports
Users can now create and modify reports in Adaptive, allowing them to tailor reports to local or team-specific needs.
- Supports customized reporting (e.g., committees reviewing specific expense types)
- Provides flexibility without impacting organization-wide shared reports
- Ideal for cost centers that analyze data differently
