Workday@Brandeis

Anyone with an academic appointment can see their own historical, current, and future appointment(s) in Workday. The provost, dean of your academic unit, and other administrative personnel will be able to see academic appointments as well.

Track types differentiate appointees based on rank, eligibility for promotion, sabbatical programs, etc. into logical groupings such as tenure-line faculty, visiting faculty, postdoctoral scholars, etc.

An Identifier is a designation to indicate whether an academic appointment track is primary, dual, joint, administrative, etc. The Primary identifier is the home department. Other academic appointment identifiers include Dual (additional appointments within the same school [e.g., appointments in Biology and Chemistry in Arts and Sciences]), and Joint (additional appointments across schools [e.g., Economics in Arts and Sciences and International Business School]). Administrative appointments, such as, department/programchairs or deans, are indicated by the Administrative track type and identifier.

An association is used to identify a relationship with a school, department, or program that is not a formal appointment. 

Academic affiliate records are created for visiting scholars, scientists, and researchers who are coming to Brandeis for academic purposes such as research or special use of Brandeis facilities and receive an academic appointment. Appointees may either be uncompensated (Courtesy) or paid a stipend (Visiting Scholar) for their appointment. Affiliate appointees are not considered employees of the University and do not receive benefits.

Courtesy appointees are members of the Brandeis community who are not paid, but who require a formal affiliation with Brandeis for an academic purpose such as research, special academic use of Brandeis facilities or other special arrangements. A faculty sponsor is required to supervise the appointee. You can learn more about courtesy appointments and the different types on the Office of Research Administration’s website. Courtesy appointments must be entered into Workday by the department sponsoring the appointment.

Workday requires all instructors of record assigned to a course to have an appointment. This includes graduate students as well as faculty. Job aids are available to guide you through the process.
