## Quick answer

Use an approved Workday worker and organization extract to prepare a reference check for administrative reporting. Righthand can organize discrepancies while the Workday owner controls organizational changes and employment decisions.

Start with a **worker-and-organization reference check** that the Workday report owner can check against the original records. Righthand prepares the review artifact; the source application remains the operational record.

## Establish the input route

Workday’s public web-services directory describes Human Resources services containing worker and organization information and separates other business-service areas. [Official Workday reference](https://community.workday.com/sites/default/files/file-hosting/productionapi/index.html), checked October 6, 2026.

The tenant administrator should approve a bounded report extract and identify its effective date. For a connected route, verify the tenant, available operation, security scope, and report parameters with the owner before retrieving worker information.

Check the current [integration directory](/integrations) and [Righthand setup documentation](https://docs.righthand.ai/introduction). A listed app does not establish every read or write action. For a connected route, verify the assigned account, available operation, object scope, and one permitted sample read. This guide also works from an explicitly supplied, approved extract; it does not require an unverified native operation. Keep credentials out of the article brief.

## Worked input and output

These three records are synthetic illustrations, not customer results or a hands-on integration test.

| Approved input | Proposed review output |
| --- | --- |
| WD31: worker belongs to organization ORG7 in current report | Match roster entry to ORG7 by identifier |
| WD32: future-effective organization change listed separately | Keep current and future assignments separate |
| WD33: contingent worker shares display name with employee | Preserve worker type and distinct worker identities |

The reference check should state what date its organization assignments describe. WD32 must not silently replace the current organization with a future-effective value. WD33 illustrates why a display name alone is a poor matching rule in a mixed worker population.

## A complete first-run brief

> Use an approved Workday worker/organization report and reference roster for October 12–16, 2026. Fields: worker reference, worker type, organization reference, manager reference, effective date, report timestamp, source row. At Monday 9 AM America/Los_Angeles, prepare a worker-and-organization reference check as source-linked Markdown in my private review thread. Preserve record identities and the extract timestamp. Group unresolved items by next action and responsible owner. Reviewer: Workday report owner. Do not change jobs, titles, organizations, pay, worker status, or permissions; do not make employment decisions. Result check: Compare worker and organization identifiers with the approved report, including effective-date interpretation.

A permitted preparation step does not authorize a consequential write or an external send. Resolve proposed changes through the app's supported process after the responsible owner approves their exact scope.

## Reconcile before widening the task

A report produced today can include information effective on another date. A cross-tenant identifier also has no safe meaning without its tenant context. Request the report definition when the slice does not explain its date logic; do not infer a reorganization from a changed label.

Begin with one department’s administrative roster review. Ask the tenant owner to inspect WD32 and document the accepted effective-date rule. Keep any correction proposal separate, then verify a fresh authorized report after approved source changes.

For the first acceptance review, keep the original input slice beside the result and mark which items were checked. If access or evidence is incomplete, return that gap with its record identity rather than a confident completion statement. Review [Pricing](/pricing) using the actual preparation workload and correction effort.
