Reference: Health Savings and Spending Accounts Enrollment Options

If you need to approve or correct the plan entries, you can view these enrollment records:
  • Health Savings Account (HSA).
  • Spending account.
You can see additional fields in the enrollment record that the employee can't.
Employees can change health savings and spending account contributions as long as Workday can take the payroll deduction during the same plan year.
This table displays the available fields and identifies the additional fields that you can use to view employee enrollments. Both HSA and spending account enrollments use the same fields.

  • The employee has a benefit event on 12/23.
  • The pay period frequency occurs biweekly: 12/16 and 12/29.
  • The pay date occurs on 1/3 of next year.
  • The period ends in the current year, but Workday can't take the deduction until the next year.
  • Workday prevents the enrollment from completing.
