Stacey is a new hire who has not started work yet. She can’t get in Workday to complete her tasks that have been assigned to her. How can you help her?

1. Pull her up in WD to see if she has a candidate profile or her new hire profile

2. If she is good to go, we will go to reset her password in WD

3. We will only reset her password if she still has her numerical ID instead of her actual EID. 

4. IF you cannot reset password- look to see if her service dates have been accepted. If they have not contact Yvette (or Teia if Yvette is out) to approve the service dates.

5. If they have a candidate profile connect the new hire and TAP
