WORKDAY: Setting Up Your GMID, 2-Step Verification Preferences & More

Every GM Canada employee is required to make the following changes themselves to their employee file in the HR program called Workday:

• Update personal information and emergency contacts
• Add or change your banking information
• Request leaves of absence like parental leave or sick leave
• Complete the Employment Equity Survey
• Access to your paystubs and T4 slips

To access Workday, every employee has to have an active GMID. 

To set up your GMID:

1. Use a non-GM computer or cellphone (must not be logged into someone else’s GMID profile) – a personal computer is the easiest option
2. Open the document entitled '2-Step Verification Set-Up Instructions’
3. Visit gmid.gm.com and click Activate Your GMID to begin

Note: you will need the nine-digit number on your employee badge and the last four digits of your SIN number to get started.

NOT WORKING?:

If you have questions or need assistance contact the Global Shared Service Centre, at 1-800-930-9130 or gmnapeopleservices.us@gm.com.

THEN WHAT?

Setting up your GMID and 2-step verification preferences gives you access to our company intranet Socrates and directly to Workday. From there:

• An option will appear asking if you have InTune - if using a personal device click "NO"
• Then log in using your newly created GMID and password
• Do a quick 2-step verification and then you're in

OR, download the Workday app. Please note, you cannot change banking info using the app at this time.
