What is Workday and why do I need it?
Workday empowers employees (Full-time, Part-time and Casual/Adjunct) to manage personal data easily and accurately. Workday will allow the remote employee to view and update personal information, view and print payslips, view position details, compensation and much more.

When will I receive my Workday log-in information?
As a new hire, you will receive an email with a link to Workday within 30 days of your start date.  If you do not receive this Welcome email from Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health, please contact Human Resources.

Is there a guide to help me navigate Workday?
Yes, there is. Upon receiving your offer letter, you should have also received a PDF with useful tips to help you complete your tasks. If you did not receive this document, please contact Human Resources.

Can I download the Workday application for my phone?
Yes, for quick access to Workday you can download the mobile app on your iPhone or Android. To access Workday outside of the PA College or Penn Medicine LG Health secure networks, you will need to sign up for DUO (Two-Factor Authentication). DUO is a two factor authentication used to strengthen the protection of data. DUO is required for any Workday login taking place outside of the PA College or Penn Medicine LG Health secure networks.

Click here to learn how you can enroll. Duo Security requires a device (mobile phone/landline phone) that can receive an automated text message or phone call to validate you as an authorized Workday user. This process is also necessary to access Workday through a Mobile Application. To download the Mobile App, you will need to enter tenant ID – LGHealth./p>
