Your honest feedback is much appreciated. It can be hard to navigate review periods. As a potential solution, we suggest speaking to your manager to better understand the system of raises and bonuses. At Workday, performance-based payment is standard and each team designs the relevant criteria. This should help address any confusion. If you have any other worries, consider sending in a Peakon survey, getting in touch with our Employee Relations at employee.relations@workday.com, or making use of our SpeakUp reporting hotline, which guarantees anonymity.

Unreliable software.

Pros

I've yet to see them.

Cons

This software makes employee payroll problematic. There is no one to contact when your payments are not made, email or leave a message and it takes weeks to get it corrected.
