Workday, the workplace software company used by millions of employees worldwide, is experiencing a widespread outage affecting major businesses including Walmart, Target, Chipotle and Skechers.
\n\nThe company, based in Pleasanton, California, said it had placed some of its systems into maintenance mode while it worked to resolve the problem.
\n\nThe disruption has left some employees at affected companies unable to log in or carry out tasks through the platform, including checking pay information and requesting time off.
\n\nWorkday said the outage began after an issue was identified during testing of its backup systems. The problem left some information in an inconsistent state, potentially causing errors when users tried to access their accounts or complete workplace tasks.
\n\nThe company apologised for the disruption and said it was investigating the best way to restore services. It also said it would provide updates every 30 minutes.
\n\nWorkday is used by more than 11,500 organisations around the world for a range of workplace functions, including payroll, recruitment, employee benefits and leave requests. Its customers include major retailers such as Walmart, Target and Nordstrom.
\n\nAs of Friday afternoon, the company had not given an estimate for when the affected services would be fully restored.
