Managing student employees in Workday: Supervisors, Timekeepers and Recruiting Coordinators

Managing student employees in Workday: Supervisors, Timekeepers and Recruiting Coordinators

September 17, 2024

As we prepare for the Workday launch, we wanted to share information with you about supervision of student employees.

To be a supervisor of student employees you must already hold a supervisor role for a regular employee.

Managing student employees in Workday: Supervisors, Timekeepers and Recruiting Coordinators:

In Workday, every person that has an employee that reports to them is considered a Supervisor.  Workday creates a Supervisory Organization for each supervisor. For managing student employees, there are two additional position types, as noted below: 

Student Employee management positions types:

  • Supervisor = Supervisor of record, responsible for managing student employees.

  • Timekeeper = Oversees and approves timecard, can act as student employee leader.

  • Recruiting Coordinator = Requests positions and completes requisitions for posting jobs on the Workday Student Job Board, This person does not have to be a Supervisor, i.e. the Timekeeper can also be assigned as the Recruiting Coordinator. An organization does not have to have a separate timekeeper and/or recruiting coordinator.

More information about these new procedures was provided to campus in an email today.
