The HRIS Analyst provides hands-on Workday administration, configuration, reporting, data management, integration monitoring, and user support. Working within governance and change-control standards established by the HRIS Manager, the Analyst administers assigned functional areas, translates approved requirements into controlled changes, supports releases and implementations, and resolves Tier 1 and Tier 2 issues. The Analyst develops transaction instructions, validation rules, and technical support for basic Workday data entry performed by the HR Coordinator and other approved users; complex corrections, mass loads, security, configuration, and production changes remain with HRIS. The role also provides designated secondary support for selected U.S. payroll activities under documented controls, while the US Payroll Manager retains end-to-end payroll ownership.
