Functional Docs

The Person API returns over 36,000 unique worker records. Some applications may require the entire WashU population, while others may only use a small fraction of that total. This document will detail various options to filter the population to the desired results for each application.

WashU currently groups employees by department or division in HRMS and AIS. In Workday, employees are grouped by supervisory organization; fiscal responsibilities and financial transactions are grouped by cost center. This presentation explains these concepts and also details cost center hierarchy and cost center hierarchy rollup.

This document defines worker types and worker sub-types in depth so applications can better understand how people are managed in Workday.
