Grants Management in Workday
Workday is the university’s information system for human resources, financial operations, procurement, expenses, and grants. Workday is a cloud-based ERP solution that provides enhanced accessibility, an intuitive UI, self-service tasks for employees and managers, integrated business processes on financial and human resources tasks, and data transparency to drive decision making.
Workday supports principal investigators, administrators, and staff by providing insights across finance, payroll, HR and planning for grants users. Grant management through Workday eliminates reporting errors, losses from unspent funds, and the risks associated with noncompliance – providing transparency into stuck processes and a clear audit trail of what occurred.
Through Workday, there is full visibility on an award into terms and conditions, dates, balances, and more to ensure PIs that all grant requirements are met. PIs can see costs and revenue in real time for a complete view of financial position on awards in order to control unnecessary spending. Workday also provides the ability to ensure that individuals have met their commitments to a sponsored project and their wages are commensurate with their work for effort certification.
