Updating Your Contact Information & Emergency Contacts in Workday

Your Contact Information

Your contact information should always be completely up to date in Workday. Critical information, such as tax documents, are sent to your home address as listed on Workday. Your phone number and personal email address can also be updated in Workday.

If you need to update your work contact information, such as your phone number/extension or work location, please submit an Office Move Request.

To check or update your contact information in Workday:

1. Start by going to your "Personal Information" app
   • 
2. From here, you can "View" all of your information or choose to "Change" your contact information:
   • 
3. If you click on "Contact Information" in the Change menu, you will be taken to a screen that shows your full contact information. You will also see what any address you have in the system is used/designated for. Click "Edit" to begin changing the information on this screen:

5. Once everything is updated, click "Submit" at the bottom of the screen.

Your Emergency Contacts

Your emergency contacts should also be fully up to date in Workday, in the event they need to be contacted on your behalf. You can also add multiple emergency contacts and assign them priority, so that if your initial contact cannot be reached, someone else can be contacted in an emergency.

To view and edit your emergency contacts:

1. Start by going to your "Personal Information" app
   • ​​​​​​​
2. From the Change menu, click on "Emergency Contacts"
   • 
3. You will be taken to a screen that shows all of your current emergency contacts and the "priority" that you have designated for them. To edit this information, click "Edit" at the top of the screen:
   • 
4. Use the pencil icon to edit a particular emergency contact's information. Fields with an "X" icon available mean that you can remove this information. Since Primary Emergency contacts are required, you will need to change your primary contact before removing them entirely.
   • 
5. You must have at least 1 emergency contact designated in Workday. Other contacts can be added or removed under the "Alternate Emergency Contacts" section at the bottom of this page:
   • 
6. When complete, click "Submit" at the bottom of the page and your information will be saved and updated.
