What Workday data does Tilt use, and how?
Weekly sync, real purpose — see exactly which Workday fields feed your Tilt profile, pay, and eligibility.
Once your company connects Tilt and Workday, Tilt pulls your employee data from Workday once a week and uses it to build your Tilt profile, calculate your leave pay, and determine your leave eligibility.
Who this applies to / Prerequisites
- You work at a company that's both a Tilt customer and a Workday customer.
- Your company has connected with its Tilt Customer Success Manager (CSM) to set up the Workday integration.
- This applies to HR users and employees at companies using the Tilt/Workday integration. It doesn't apply if your company doesn't use Workday.
Steps
- How to Set Up Tilt Integration in Workday:
- Once setup is complete, Tilt pulls (syncs) your employee data from Workday once a week.
- Tilt uses specific Workday data fields for specific purposes in the platform:


What if it doesn't work
- If your company doesn't use Workday for payroll, Tilt won't receive pay schedules, hours worked in the last 12 months, or pay history from Workday — that data has to come from another source.
- If information in your Tilt profile looks wrong (wrong job title, hire date, and so on), check with your HR team first. This data comes from Workday, so it usually needs to be corrected there, not in Tilt.
- If you're not sure whether your company has the Workday integration set up, contact your Tilt Customer Success Manager (CSM) or Tilt Support.
Limits and exceptions
- Data syncs once a week — recent changes made in Workday (a new manager, an updated hire date) won't show up in Tilt immediately.
- Tilt can't pull pay schedules, hours worked, or pay history for companies that don't run payroll through Workday.
- You can't turn the Workday sync on or off yourself from inside Tilt — it's configured by your Tilt CSM during setup.
- This article covers what data syncs and how it's used. It doesn't cover the technical setup steps.
