Steps: Set Up Contingent Worker Spend

Steps: Set Up Contingent Worker Spend

Before you use Workday Procurement to generate contingent worker purchase orders and invoices:
  • Configure procurement.
  • Configure supplier accounts.
Automate contingent worker procurement processing to create purchase orders, log contingent worker time against them, and create invoices for approved time.
  1. In the
    Maintain Contingent Worker Types
    task, check
    Require Cost Information on Job Requisition
    for each contingent worker type you use.
    Security:
    Set Up: Position
    domain in the Jobs & Positions functional area.
    This option indicates that you require additional, procurement-related information on contingent worker job requisitions.
  2. Edit Business Processes.
    Access the
    Contract Contingent Worker
    business process and optionally specify:
    1. Approval routing steps and other company requirements.
    2. Action step to
      Assign Tax Authority Form Type
      .
    3. Action step to
      Edit Government IDs
      for independent contingent workers.
  3. Add the
    Create Purchase Order from Contingent Worker Contract
    subprocess step to the
    Contract Contingent Worker
    business process.
  4. Add the
    Create Change Order from Contingent Worker Contract
    subprocess step to these business processes to generate change orders, if applicable:
    1. End Contingent Worker Contract
      .
    2. Edit Position
      .
      See Change a Worker's Current Position Details.
      If you change the supplier assigned to a contingent worker, you’ll lose the worker's track history.
  5. Access the
    Create Time Code
    task to set up time codes for contingent worker timesheets.
    Security:
    Set Up: Timesheets
    domain in the Time Tracking functional area.
  6. Add the
    Create Supplier Invoice from Receipt
    subprocess step to the
    Receipt
    business process. Workday then automatically creates supplier invoices from approved timesheets against purchase orders.
    Invoices against contingent worker purchase orders can also be manually created by using purchase order or timesheet information from the
    Supplier Invoice Workbench
    task.
  7. Request the HR Partner to designate tax information for independent contingent workers:
    Option Description
    1099 or W-2
    Access the
    Edit Government IDs
    task and specify the
    National ID Type
    .
    1042-S
    Access the
    Assign Tax Authority Form Type to Contingent Worker
    task and specify the
    Tax Authority Form Type
    .
