Workday Absence and Time Tracking Consultant
Role overview
Albida is looking for a Workday Absence and Time Tracking Consultant to lead configuration, design, and delivery for clients running or implementing these modules. You'll work directly with client stakeholders — HR, payroll, and operations leaders — to translate business requirements into working Workday solutions.
What you'll do
- Lead discovery sessions to capture absence and time tracking requirements across client organisations
- Configure Workday Absence Management: accrual rules, eligibility rules, absence plans, and calendars
- Configure Workday Time Tracking: time entry templates, time calculations, overtime rules, and scheduling
- Design and build integrations between Time Tracking, Absence, and downstream Payroll
- Run workshops, prototype reviews, and UAT sessions with client teams
- Produce functional specifications, configuration workbooks, and test scripts
- Troubleshoot production issues and recommend fixes within Workday best practice
- Support go-live and hypercare phases, including data validation and cutover planning
- Mentor junior consultants and contribute to Albida's delivery methodology
What you'll bring
- 3+ years' hands-on Workday configuration experience in Absence Management and/or Time Tracking
- At least one full lifecycle implementation (design through go-live)
- Strong understanding of accrual calculations, overtime rules, and complex scheduling patterns
- Experience gathering requirements directly from client stakeholders, not just internal teams
- Comfortable working across multiple concurrent client engagements
- Clear written and verbal communication — you'll be presenting to executive sponsors
- Workday Pro Certification in Absence Management and/or Time Tracking preferred
If you like wild growth and working with happy, enthusiastic over-achievers, you'll enjoy your career with us!
