Workday

Work tasks and employee records on your phone

Workday is a business app for employees and managers whose organizations use Workday. Employees can use it for work tasks such as submitting timesheets and expenses, checking payslips, requesting time off and recording when they start or finish work. It also includes colleague information, training and internal job or gig listings. What you can use depends on your organization’s Workday setup.

Managers have additional tools

For managers, the app can handle employee request approvals, team profiles, timesheets and hours tracking. It also offers tools for payroll-related tasks, role changes, compensation requests, performance reviews and reports. These are workplace administration features, not general-purpose tools for people without a Workday account through an organization.

What you give in return

The app’s practical value depends on your employer using Workday and enabling the features you need. The supplied information does not state whether the app contains advertising, what it costs to use, or which device permissions it requests. Check the app’s Play listing and your organization’s policies for those details before relying on it. Work tasks and employee information may be sensitive, so consider who can access your account and follow your employer’s guidance for using it on a personal phone.

Popularity and fit

Workday, Inc. is the developer. The app has a 4.18 out of 5 rating from about 268,700 ratings and more than 10 million installs. Those figures show broad use, but they do not tell you whether your employer has enabled a particular feature or how well it fits your workplace. It is most relevant if your organization already manages employee processes through Workday; otherwise, many of its tools may not be available to you.
