Retiree instructions

  1. Browse to https://www.myworkday.com/macombgov/login.htmld
    1. You may want to save this page as a bookmark or favorite
  2. Enter your Username in the Username box. Your Username is your Retiree ID – this can be found on your paystub. This is an R followed by 6 digits (example: R099999).
  3. Enter your temporary password in the password box. Your temporary password format follows Macomb.(capital M and a period at the end), Month (your birth month with first letter capitalized), Day (your birth date, 2 numbers), Exclamation mark.
    1. For example, if you were born January 8, 1935, your temporary password would be Macomb.January08!
  4. Once you enter your temporary password in the Password box, click the sign in button.
  5. You will be presented with a new screen to create a password of your choosing. You will enter the following:
    1. Old password box: enter your temporary password from step 3 above.
    2. New password box: enter a new password of your choosing.
    3. Verify new password: enter the new password again and click submit.
  6. Once you click submit, a secondary passcode will be required to complete the login. To receive this one-time passcode, click the set up now button.
  7. The next screen will ask for a verification code. Notice the continue button is dimmed until the verification code has been entered. Check your email. The email address displayed with the **** should resemble the email address of the user logging in that the Macomb County HRLR Retirement Department would have on file for you.
  8. Copy the verification code, which is called the passcode in the email from Workday.
  9. Paste the code into the verification code field and click continue.
  10. Each time a user logs into Workday, that user will receive an email. By checking this box, the system will remember the computer and the user will no longer receive an email that a user logged in. This is a security feature. If an email is ever received that you have logged into Workday and you have not, contact the IT Helpdesk immediately at 586-469-5697
