Print

This job aid outlines the Request Delegation Change process used by HR Partners to view and modify a worker’s delegation settings, including the ability to view current and past delegations for the worker.

Important Information

  • Delegation temporarily reassigns tasks to another user, enabling that user to perform individual actions on the delegator’s behalf.
  • Delegation(s) can be set up for a maximum of 12 months at one time.
  • Workday only allows HR Partners to delegate Inbox tasks, thus leaving the Start on My Behalf section blank since initiating a business process cannot be delegated.
