Workday is UBC’s human resource (HR), finance, payroll operations and student information systems (formerly SSC, SISC and FSC). All UBC employees – faculty, staff and student employees – use Workday for personal tasks related to their position (e.g. view payslip, submit vacation request). Some also use Workday as part of their job at UBC (e.g. run reports, post a job, pay an invoice, move a student off a waitlist).
UBC students use Workday to manage their academic journey, from course registration to graduation.
Workday is managed by the Integrated Service Centre (ISC).
