Welcome to the SPS Timekeeping Help Center. SPS Timekeeping launched March 16, 2016 as part of Phase II of the SPS project. Timekeeping functions in the SPS system replaced an assortment of automated and paper based time recording methods across the State, and help the State streamline and modernize the way that we track time and attendance, manage requests for leave and manage time off. The Timekeeping Help Center offers information to help Agencies post launch of the new system.​ ​

Roles in Workday Timekeeping

Roles in Workday Timekeeping are central to how the system functions. Roles determine what you can see and what you can do. They provide individuals access to appropriate data within the assigned organizational structure, and they determine functional responsibilities and how information is routed in pre-determined business process. There are Inherited roles, or default roles such as Employee and Manager, as well as Assigned roles such as “HR Partner”, “Timekeeper”, etc. Below is a matrix of roles involved in the timekeeping process:
