Business and Finance Tips: Delegations

Business & Finance Services

If you need someone to perform tasks and approve actions on your behalf while you’re away from the office, Business and Finance Services wants you to know that you have a variety of delegation options.

You may delegate access to your entire Workday inbox, or just to specific actions. You can opt to have the tasks remain in your inbox for you to act on when they are delegated.

In addition to delegating approvals, it’s also possible to delegate the initiation of processes on your behalf. Delegations are flexible and can be stopped or extended based on how long you’re away, or if you return to the office sooner than planned.

If you are an approver for Amazon Business Prime or Office Depot orders and will be out of the office more than one-to-two days, please email finance.medicine@wsu.edu and include the dates you will be out. Finance staff will act as your delegate in your absence.
