UPDATE Monday, June 9th, 2025 / 11:00 AM America/Los Angeles -07:00 GMT

We wanted to provide an update on the exact conditions in which this issue occurs. 

The personal information step must occur after the completion step in one of the following business processes: 

  • Change job
  • Contract Contingent Worker
  • Edit Position
  • Hire 

Additionally, the following ordering of conditions must also be met: 

  1. Start one of the above parent events with the subprocess Personal Information Change and ensure the Personal Information Change step is triggered in the process. 
  2. Correct the parent event at a later time. 

Workday is developing a report that you can run to identify impacted persons and a task that can correct the impacted events. This will be delivered to Preview on June 20th, and subsequently to Production on June 27th. We will provide another alert update next week with further details on the report and task.
