Workday HR: Manager Self-Service (MSS)

What is Manager Self-Service (MSS)?

What is a Supervisory Organization in Workday?

How can a manager use delegation in Workday?

  • Delegation allows managers to give another user access to initiate and approve tasks on their behalf in Workday. There are three types of Delegation available in Workday:
    • Business Process Initiation Delegation - Allows users to delegate the ability to initiate selected business processes to another user
    • Inbox Delegation - Allows a user to give access to their entire Workday Inbox (or specific business processes from their Inbox) to an individual for a specified period of time
    • Task Delegation - Allows users to delegate a task that is already awaiting user action in their Inbox
  • It is recommended that Managers should use delegation when out of office for extended periods of time to prevent unnecessary delays of approvals/transactions.
