Sodales for Workday Customers

The only HR compliance software platform integrating health and safety, employee and labor relations inside Workday

Organizations running Workday need more than core HR to stay compliant. A single workplace event can trigger obligations across health and safety, disability management, job accommodations, and labor relations.

Fragmented records from multiple systems increase compliance and liability risks.

Sodales - Workday Design Approved Badge

Sodales handles what sits outside Workday

Workday provides a strong foundation for workforce management, payroll, talent, and business planning.

However, complex compliance obligations require a platform integration that saves operational time without working with multiple systems and point solutions.

Enterprise organizations dealing with employee complaints, occupational health (OHS), FMLA cases, disability claims, grievances, and unions require an all-in-one platform that merges with Workday’s ecosystem.

Employers can see how one incident sets off a compliance chain reaction. This creates an opportunity for preventive measures instead of reactive processes like fragmented data, scattered files, and disconnected tools that create endless manual work for HR and EHS teams.

Extending Workday for Compliance

While Workday excels at core HR, it lacks depth in health and safety, investigations, and compliance-specific workflows. This often forces organizations into manual processes, fragmented tools, and limited reporting visibility.

Sodales fills these gaps with structured workflows, integrated case management, and audit-ready tracking across EHS, employee relations, and labor relations …

… fully connected within Workday.

How do companies run compliance tools alongside Workday without it getting messy?

Bi-directional APIs let companies integrate external compliance tools with Workday while keeping compliance logic centralized in one system.

Organizations sync user data from Workday into the compliance tool while keeping Workday as the system of record.
 
Access approvals, audit rules, and risk checks are handled in one place instead of split across HR systems, ticketing tools, or spreadsheets, preventing issues like outdated permissions, missed approvals, and incomplete audit trails.
Workday provides strong access controls and audit trails, but companies often extend it to manage compliance workflows, case tracking, and audit documentation in one place.
 
Access is controlled through roles, approvals, and audit logs, but many compliance processes like grievance handling, investigations, accommodations, or return-to-work tracking are managed across separate tools or manual processes.
 
Organizations use extensions to centralize these workflows, track decisions, and maintain complete case histories tied to employee data, making audits easier and ensuring compliance activities stay consistent without changing how Workday operates.
 
That’s where Sodales comes in.

Health and safety software that integrates with Workday include EHS incident management, disability and return-to-work, workplace violence prevention, occupational health, FMLA and proactive risk management.

Sodales combines EHS software with employee and labor relations software in one platform that integrates natively with Workday.

Compliance platforms that integrate with Workday include employee relations, labor relations software / union grievance management, and health and safety systems like incident and disability management.

These support multi-state requirements by applying union-specific workflows (CBA rules, grievance steps), generating jurisdiction-specific compliance forms (e.g., OSHA, WSIB), and tracking cases, deadlines, and decisions based on local regulations.

These are all tied to employee data in one system – which is what Sodales does.

Sodales integrates OHS medical with Workday by using employee, role, and job assignment data to trigger fit‑for‑work and medical testing workflows.

Medical requirements like drug and alcohol tests, physical exams, or role-specific clearances are assigned based on the employee’s job in Workday and tracked directly against their record.

This ensures all required testing is completed, documented, and aligned to role-specific safety requirements before employees perform high-risk work.

No, Sodales does not replace Workday; it extends it by adding HR compliance workflows, case management, and tracking capabilities alongside core HR.

Workday remains the system of record for employee data, roles, and transactions.

Sodales builds on that data to manage processes like grievances, employee investigations, safety cases, and compliance documentation without changing core Workday functionality.

This allows organizations to handle complex compliance workflows in one place while pulling employee data from Workday.

Sodales connects with Workday Core HCM, Time Tracking, and Talent Management modules.

Employee data, job roles, and organizational structure from Core HCM are used to trigger compliance workflows and case management processes.

Integration with Time Tracking and Talent Management supports use cases like job bidding and workforce eligibility compliance workflows.

This allows Sodales to run operational and compliance processes directly alongside core Workday data.

Yes, workflows can be configured according to specific CBA rules, timelines, and policies, supporting multiple unions and CBAs in one system.

Depending on the union or CBA, the workflows automatically apply the location-based policies, forms, and compliance steps.

This lets teams manage complex variations in one system tied to Workday data.

Yes, Sodales configures workflows to manage labor relations and union grievance processes within a Workday environment.

Each grievance runs its own workflow with defined steps, timelines, and preventive steps prior to arbitration. Cases are tracked with full documentation and history tied to employee data.

This keeps dispute handling consistent, structured, and audit‑ready.
