How many Workday leave types can I map to each Tilt leave type?

One Tilt leave type, one Workday leave type — here's the mapping rule and what it means for your setup.

Tilt supports mapping exactly one Workday leave type to each Tilt leave type — you can't split a single Tilt leave type across multiple, more granular Workday leave types.

Who this applies to / Prerequisites

  • HR admins deciding whether to enable the Workday leave data push.
  • Applies to any business currently using more granular Workday leave types (for example, separate FMLA (Family and Medical Leave Act) vs. non-FMLA, disability vs. bonding, or paid vs. unpaid leave types).

Steps

  1. Review your current Workday leave types and compare them to Tilt's leave types: Parental, Medical, Caregiving, Military, and Other.
  2. Decide whether your business can map one Workday leave type to each Tilt leave type.
  3. If yes, either adjust your existing Workday leave types or create new ones to match this 1-to-1 structure.
  4. If your business needs more granular mapping than this supports, don't enable the leave data push — wait until Tilt supports more complex mappings.
  5. When creating or adjusting leave types, loosen or remove eligibility criteria in Workday, since Tilt — not Workday — manages leave eligibility and payment decisions once the integration is enabled.
  6. Take leave payments directly from Tilt's payroll reports rather than calculating them in Workday.

What if it doesn't work

  • If you're not sure whether your current setup fits, list out your Workday leave types side by side with Tilt's five leave types before deciding.
  • If your business tracks FMLA vs. non-FMLA (or similar splits) and can't consolidate them, don't enable the data push portion of the integration yet.

Limits and exceptions

  • You can map only one Workday leave type per Tilt leave type — you can't map multiple Workday leave types to a single Tilt leave type.
  • You can map the same Workday leave type to multiple Tilt leave types (for example, Workday Leave Type A can back both Parental Leave and Medical Leave in Tilt).
  • You can't use the leave data push if your business requires distinctions Tilt doesn't support yet, such as FMLA vs. non-FMLA, disability vs. bonding for birthing parents, or paid vs. unpaid time.
  • Enabling the data push isn't required — you can use the 1-way integration only if this mapping structure doesn't fit your business.
