WORKDAY SPS LOGIN
The State of Maryland has added a security layer to Workday SPS that includes an additional authentication method (personal identifier) for signing in to Workday. If you have not used this system or are a new hire, you must complete this one-time setup before using the benefits enrollment application. You cannot log into Workday if this authentication method is not established. Click HERE to review the Workday SPS instructions.

DEPENDENT ENROLLMENT - IMPORTANT!

You MUST SUBMIT (upload) the required supporting documentation for ALL NEWLY ADDED or RE-ENROLLED DEPENDENTS. If you do not attach the necessary documentation, the dependent will be removed from coverage and will be ineligible to enroll until the next qualifying life event or Open Enrollment.  "NEWLY ADDED DEPENDENTS" are dependents that you have NEVER covered before. "RE-ENROLLED DEPENDENTS" are dependents who had been covered at one time in the past, but are not currently covered.

DEPENDENT RESOURCES

• Dependent Documentation Requirements
• Affidavit of Domestic Partnership
• Affidavit of Domestic Partner's Federal Tax Status

LEAVE BANK ENROLLMENT 2026
Newly hired employees must complete a Leave Bank Enrollment Form to enroll in the plan (enrollment is NOT available through Workday). Employees are enrolled in the Leave Bank Program for 2 years. It is the employee's responsibility to monitor their enrollment to re-enroll. If your enrollment is nearing expiration and you wish to re-enroll, you can ONLY do so during the Open Enrollment Period. If you have never been active in the Leave Bank Program and would like to enroll, you can ONLY do so during the Open Enrollment period. Please email leave@morgan.edu for enrollment forms and assistance. (NOTE: You cannot enroll in the Leave Program through Workday.) For new hires seeking to enroll in this program, you must enroll within the first 60 days of employment.

MAKING MID-YEAR CHANGES

Generally speaking, the benefit choices made upon hire are in effect for the remainder of the calendar year. Changes to benefit elections can only be made during open enrollment (typically held in October) OR consistent with a life event such as the birth of a child, marriage, etc. Employees have a limited amount of time to make mid-year life event changes - often 30 days. Review the 2026 Health Benefits Guide for additional information. Changes made during open enrollment are effective January 1 of the following year.
