Welcome to Operation Tiger Cloud! We're hard at work to bring Workday to RIT in January 2026!
We’re replacing Oracle Self-Service with a modern, user-friendly system that makes managing your information—like pay, benefits, expenses, and more—easier than ever!
Workday's built-in workflows streamline approvals, making the process faster and smoother while eliminating forms and email chains.
Highlights of what's moving to Workday on Jan. 2, 2026
- University finances: All financial processes move to Workday, including gifts, grants, endowments, budgeting, and more.
- Pay and expenses: All payroll, state and federal tax withholdings, and expenses are processed in Workday.
- Timekeeping: Kronos is retired. Nonexempt (hourly) employees, including student employees, enter time via kiosks, desktop, or app.
- Job postings: Staff job profiles align to the Staff Career Architecture project and auto-fill during hiring requisitions.
-
Benefits: Open enrollment for the 2026 plan year will be in Oracle. Starting in 2026, all new employee enrollment and existing employee open enrollment move to Workday.
- Talent acquisition: Kenexa/BrassRing is retired. Recruiting and hiring for staff, student employees, and faculty move to Workday.
- Learning: Talent Roadmap, our current home for professional development courses, is replaced by Workday Learning, which is also the new location for LinkedIn Learning courses.
- Performance appraisals: The staff appraisal process moves from Talent Roadmap to Workday for a more consistent experience.
- Reporting: Workday's core functionality improves data entry in both HR and Finance, and offers real-time reporting and transaction drilldowns, reducing tedious manual reporting.
Our Progress
End user training takes place during the Deployment phase. Employee Self Service (ESS), Manager Self Service (MSS) and Timekeeper independent study resources are now available on Talent Roadmap.
