What’s New in GMS – March 15, 2024

Workday Assistant is now live and is a conversational chatbot in GMS designed to help users complete common tasks, discover information and get support. Workers may enter phrases such as “Enter My Time,” “Request Time Off” or “How much are my benefits” to receive immediate support.

The Career Worklet was replaced with the Jobs Hub. The Jobs at Georgetown report will now be located in the Jobs Hub, as well as where you may access your job applications and referrals. This will provide a more streamlined process for users to access the internal job site.

Workers may now enter time in the time entry calendar across end-of-week day breakers. Previously, if workers wanted to enter time that crossed the end-of-week day breaker in the Enter My Time report, they had to create two separate time blocks, one before the day breaker on Sunday and one after the breaker on Monday. Workers may now save time and effort by entering a single time block that Workday automatically splits into two separate blocks, which can be viewed and edited.

Time tracking reports and a link to the quick reference guide for the Time and Scheduling Hub have been added.
