For WorkdayHR information, including training and support listings, see the Workday @UofL website.

Two-factor authentication adds a second layer of security to both WorkdayHR and old HR info by requiring a second piece of information before you can log-in to a site. UofL uses Duo as our second factor or two-step confirmation for your identity. The authentication is separate and independent from your UofL userID and password in order to confirm that you are the one accessing your account. See the ITS UL2FCTR webpage for more information.

When UofL implemented WorkdayHR in January of 2023, our PeopleSoft HR system went view-only so that employees could still access information such as reviewing old paystubs, other tax information, etc.
