Workday rollout on schedule: payroll self-service set for Dec. 14, county staff say

Technology Services presented a progress update on the "Wilco on Workday" implementation, reporting that the county is in the end-to-end testing phase and that HR/payroll self-service functionality is scheduled to go live Dec. 14. Procurement and other modules are expected to be available Jan. 1.

Richard Semple said the project remains on budget and that small issues and workarounds are being resolved through testing. County teams are preparing training materials and a change-champion network; training will begin in mid-October with remote and recorded sessions to reach all shifts. Semple and staff emphasized that training and communication will be critical for a successful transition and that county subject-matter experts will lead most user training sessions.

Commissioners praised staff work and stressed the importance of departmental engagement in training. No action was required on the item; the presentation was informational.
