Concept: Job Posting End Date and Time Left to Apply

Workday displays the

Job Posting End Date

and the

Time Left to Apply

on all internal, external, and agency sites job postings.

Displaying the

Job Posting End Date

and

Time Left to Apply

fields enables potential candidates to track application deadlines, ensuring they don’t miss job opportunities. This also ensures regulatory compliancy in jurisdictions where job posting transparency is a legal requirement.

If you've opted in to the Workday 32 - Time Zones feature, then Workday uses the user's local time zone.

Job Posting End Date

The value of the

Job Posting End Date

field will display on all internal, external, and agency site job postings. The job posting will end and Workday will unpost the job after 23:59 on the previous day.

Workday follows this time zone logic for the Job Posting Start Date
and Job Posting End Date
:

If the job requisition has a

Primary Location

, it uses the time zone of the Primary Location.

If the job requisition has no

Primary Location

, it uses the default time zone on your tenant.

If the job requisition has no

Primary Location

, and there’s no default time zone on your tenant, it uses Pacific Standard Time (PST).

Time Left to Apply

The

Time Left to Apply

is the time difference between the

Job Posting End Date

and the current time in the job requisition location.

Example: If a job posting has the

Job Posting End Date

as November 2, 2024 and the current datetime is November 1, 2024 at 23:00, the

Time Left to Apply

field will display as

1 Hour Left to Apply

. Workday will remove the job posting on November 2, 2024, at 00:00.
