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:
- Use a non-GM computer or cellphone (must not be logged into someone else’s GMID profile) – a personal computer is the easiest option
- Open the document entitled '2-Step Verification Set-Up Instructions’
- 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.
