We’re pleased to announce that GT Clocks is now an official Silver Tier Workday Partner. This milestone represents the bringing together of over two decades of timeclock hardware expertise with one of the world’s leading HCM platforms.

Why This Partnership Matters

Those familiar with Workday’s T&A solution, Workday Time Tracking, likely already know the platform’s impressive capabilities for managing workforce data, streamlining payroll, and ensuring compliance. But there still remains a challenge: all of that depends on one critical factor – the accuracy of time data from the moment an employee clocks in.

At GT Clocks, we have seen the vulnerabilities that mobile apps and manual tracking methods create. Buddy punching happens. Time gets ‘rounded up’. Data entry errors slip through the net. And suddenly, your enterprise-grade HCM system is working with compromised data.

That’s the problem GT Time solves.

Hardware That Workday Users Can Trust

GT Time connects our timeclocks directly to Workday Time Tracking through secure, cloud-based integration. And with our biometric solutions, every employee punch can be verified at the source through fingerprint or facial recognition – preventing buddy punching before it ever reaches your payroll system.

But these timeclocks are not just stopping fraud. They’re enabling:

  • Data Integrity from Day One
    Biometric verification means every punch represents actual work by the actual employee. No approximations. No assumptions. Just verified, audit-ready data flowing into Workday in real-time.
  • Self-Service Where Employees Work
    Your team shouldn’t need to log into a computer to request time off or check their schedule. Our timeclocks bring self-service capabilities directly to the shop floor, warehouse, or facility entrance – reducing HR admin burden and improving employee experience.
  • Enterprise-Grade Reliability
    Our timeclocks are engineered for demanding industrial environments. They work when connectivity drops, as demonstrated in the recent global Azure outage. They last for years, not months. And every device includes our lifetime warranty – because downtime isn’t an option when you’re managing payroll for hundreds or thousands of employees.

Built for How Workday Customers Actually Work

We’ve spent over 20 years understanding what enterprise organizations need from time collection hardware. It’s not about flashy features – it’s about reliability, security, and data you can trust.

Workday customers often operate across multiple locations, manage shift workers, navigate complex labor laws, and require absolute audit accuracy. GT Time was created for exactly these things:

  • Multi-site deployments managed from a single cloud platform.
  • Compliance automation with built-in attestations and consent management.
  • Real-time visibility for managers making staffing decisions.
  • Zero manual reconciliation between timeclock and Workday.

GT Time: An Integration That Just Works

Here’s what happens when an employee clocks in on a GT timeclock:

  1. Biometric authentication verifies their identity in under a second
  2. The punch is captured with job code, cost center, and location data
  3. GT Time’s cloud platform instantly syncs to Workday Time Tracking
  4. Managers see real-time attendance data in their Workday dashboard
  5. Payroll processes verified, audit-ready time without manual intervention

No middleware complexity. No data gaps. No manual exports and imports. Just seamless, secure synchronization that works the way enterprise IT expects.

What This Means for Workday Customers

If you’re already using Workday Time Tracking and struggling with time theft, manual data entry, or mobile app limitations, GT Time offers an immediate upgrade path. You keep your Workday investment and workflows – we simply ensure the data feeding into them is uncompromised.

If you’re implementing Workday and need reliable time collection hardware, we’ve solved the integration challenge. GT Time is built for the Workday ecosystem, with pre-configured mappings and deployment processes that get you live faster.

Looking Ahead

This partnership is just the beginning. We’re committed to evolving GT Time to take advantage of Workday’s innovation while maintaining the hardware reliability our customers depend on.

Because at the end of the day, great HCM software deserves great data. And great data starts at the punch.

Think dedicated timeclocks might be the missing piece of your Workday solution? The GT Clocks team are ready to help you find out. Visit www.gtclocks.com/gt-time-for-workday for more information.
