Workday Human Capital Management (HCM)
Workday — Your All-In-One Time and Resource Optimization Solution
Worky is a time and resource management app that helps individuals and teams track time on tasks and projects, manage expenses, organize teams, and use a built-in HR module for employee data. It offers dashboards and reports to compare estimated vs. actual time, track billable and non-billable hours, monitor project progress and finances, and export data to Excel, CSV, or PDF. Time can be logged via a real-time timer or manual entries.

Retention & deletion
On written request before the contract ends, Workday provides limited access for up to 60 days to retrieve customer data.

Backup copies remain until their scheduled deletion and continue to be protected.
