How to Ensure PTO Visibility in Time Entry Approvals Using Workday HCM

Imagine this: A manager receives a Time Entry Approval notification, reviews the details, and everything seems fine—except for one crucial detail. The Paid Time Off (PTO) hours are missing. They check the employee’s timecard, and the hours are there, but they didn’t appear in the notification. While this doesn’t affect payroll, it can certainly lead to confusion and unnecessary back-and-forth conversations.

This is a common scenario for many Workday users. Managers rely on approval notifications to quickly review and sign off on time entries, and missing PTO details can cause unnecessary delays or even approval mistakes. If you’ve been facing this challenge, there’s a simple and effective way to resolve it—CloudApper hrPad.
