Workday (accessible at workday.emerson.edu) is the HR, Finance, and Payroll system for the college. For help submitting/approving time, managing budgets, or anything related to finance/payroll, visit finance.emerson.edu for assistance. For help with recruiting, benefits, or anything related to HR, visit hr.emerson.edu.
Workday requires logging in with your Emerson account via Duo—if you have any problems logging in, there may be an issue with your Emerson account, which would require you to reset your password. If you can log into all other Emerson services (Canvas, Gmail, etc.) but NOT Workday, please place a ticket (email helpdesk@emerson.edu) for assistance.
New Staff/Faculty: As a first step, Emerson HR will send you an email with subject "Welcome to Workday!" with Workday credentials (firstname-lastname and a temporary password, and a link to https://wd5.myworkday.com/wday/authgwy/emerson/login.htmld?redirect=n. This is a temporary URL used just for Workday onboarding, to be used before you have Emerson Duo credentials, and you will no longer use this once you fully onboard your account). After you've completed onboarding in Workday, within 24 hours you'll receive an email to your personal email on file with subject "Emerson College - Finalize Your Account." This will provide your Emerson username and temporary password with a link to our password reset page. Reset your password to one only you know, and you will be able to log into gmail.emerson.edu, workday.emerson.edu, and others with your email address (firstname.lastname@emerson.edu) and the password you just set. Please discard the original Workday credentials and link you originally received.
