• Run periodic system audits, review and distribute to users for corrections.

HRIS Analysis and Maintenance

• Analyze Workday modules such as Core HCM, Compensation, Recruiting, Talent & Performance, Time Tracking, Benefits and Payroll and make recommendations for improvements.
• Design, build, and test business processes, notifications, condition rules, calculated fields custom notifications, help text, and other system enablement activities.
