1. OPP-Workday Important Changes

2. What is WorkLion?

3. Why are we here?
OPP work management and billing processes require continued use of Abacus – post Workday
OPP is different – we require additional and customized training to obtain OPP specific details that are not captured in Workday
Abacus will capture labor hours worked and integrate to Workday
Workday will capture absence hours and integrate to Abacus

4. Message from Leadership
Unlike other PSU entities, OPP bills for our services based on actual labor and material charges.  Specifically for the labor piece, those charges are captured via our work orders through timecard entry.  Due to the fact that we generate hundreds of thousands of work orders, Workday was unable to capture all of that data therefore requiring us to continue to utilize “Abacus: Timecards” for labor hours worked (billable) timecard entry only. However, Workday will be utilized for all absence entry and approval.
There will be no more padding of paid hours. Therefore, it is imperative that you and your employees adhere to timely and daily timecard entry and approval.

5. Integrations Integrations/information transfer will run 365 days/yr.
The ‘Load from Maximo’ timecard function will remain as is.
