Move to New Manager

Print

This job aid outlines the activities for an HR Contact, HR Partner and Organization Partner to move an Employee to a Manager who was not previously a Manager of that Employee. A new Supervisory Organization will be automatically created because one does not already exist for this new Manager. This business process will create the new Supervisory Organization and move the Employee to be a member of the Supervisory Organization at the same time.

Login with SSO to see this content.

Prerequisites

Verify which individual is to be designated as the new Manager of the new Supervisory Organization in case their name is not unique to one person in Workday. For example, there may be more than one Employee named Roy Smith in Workday, and you want to verify that you are selecting the correct Roy Smith.

Important Information

  • The Initiator (HR Contact or HR Partner) should provide the preferred Supervisory Organization name and ADLOC number in the comments section of the initiation task to assist the Organization Partner in creating the new Supervisory Organization.
  • The Move to New Manager business process should not be used to move a Contingent Worker to a new Manager; in those cases, use Create Subordinate first so the staffing model and hiring restrictions can be setup for a Contingent Worker. Contact workdaysupport@tamus.edu for assistance with editing the staffing model.
