Migrate your Workday HCM data

Workers is the central person record in Workday, encompassing employees, contractors, and contingent workers. We map Workers to the destination's employee object, preserving the full profile including compensation, benefits eligibility, and supervisory relationships. Effective-dated changes are sequenced chronologically during migration.

Positions represent the organizational 'boxes' on an org chart — a defined job or role, independent of who holds it. Where the destination uses a job-based model instead of position-based, we merge Position attributes into the employee record and preserve the position hierarchy as a custom field.

Workday Organizations (cost centers, business units, regions) form a hierarchical graph. The destination may represent this as a flat department list. We map the hierarchy tree and preserve organization-level attributes as structured metadata rather than flattening the structure.

Pay changes, bonuses, and stock grants are effective-dated compensation entries tied to a Worker. We export each compensation event with its effective date, type, amount, and currency, then map to the destination's compensation history or pay-change log.

Benefits elections, coverage levels, and dependents are stored as benefit enrollment records tied to benefit plans. The destination's plan taxonomy may differ, so we map plan types and coverage tiers rather than assuming a 1:1 plan name match.

Leave accruals, balances, and pending requests are tied to Worker and Plan combinations. We export current accrual balances and pending requests as separate record sets, handling plans that use different accrual rules or carry-forward policies.

Custom Objects extend Workday's delivered schema and are tied to business objects like Worker or Position. The destination may not have an equivalent. We identify every Custom Object, capture its field schema, and map available fields to custom fields in the target — unmapped fields are flagged for manual review.

Worker documents (offers, contracts, performance reviews) are stored as attachments against the Worker object. We export documents as binary blobs with their associated document category, attach them to the target employee record, and flag any category that has no equivalent in the destination.

Supervisory orgs define the reporting hierarchy and manager assignments. We extract the supervisor-to-worker chain and map it to the destination's organizational hierarchy, handling cases where the destination uses a flat reporting model.

Workday payroll summaries (gross pay, deductions, taxes, net pay) are available via the payroll reporting APIs. We export pay period summaries as structured records rather than raw payslips, mapping deduction categories and tax codes to the destination's payroll schema.

Job profiles define the qualifications, skills, and competencies associated with a Position. We export profile attributes and map them to the destination's job classification or competency taxonomy, flagging skills that have no equivalent term.
