Sell PTO
Let employees sell PTO for cash through a self-service Workday Extend process.
Overview
Sell PTO is a Workday Extend application that lets eligible employees elect to sell paid time off for cash directly within Workday. It replaces manual, form-based processes with a self-service dashboard, automated eligibility handling, and generated confirmation documentation.
Key features
- Integration to load eligible employees into the application
- Employee dashboard showing scheme details and current PTO-for-cash balances
- Quarterly election windows for employees to elect to sell PTO
- Configurable table for administrators to manage groups eligible outside standard election periods
- Automatic generation of a PDF confirmation statement, delivered to the employee's Workday inbox and stored in Worker Documents
- Administrator page to configure election periods and maximum sale limits
The challenge
Organisations that let employees sell paid time off for cash often manage eligibility, elections, and confirmation documentation through manual processes and forms outside their core HR system. Exceptions, such as additional eligibility groups, add further manual administration.
The benefits
- A simplified, unified experience for employees electing to sell PTO
- Considerable time savings for administrators, who no longer manage eligibility lists and forms manually
- Automatic validation of election rules, including configurable maximum limits
- Confirmation statements generated and delivered automatically, with no manual document creation
- Reduced reliance on manual, cross-system processes for managing PTO sales
