Lived experience sits next to the community vote. Official sources never override either.
Workday has been down since Friday afternoon and people at Walmart, Target, Chipotle and others are posting that they can't see pay stubs or request time off. Half the replies are saying direct deposit is going to bounce this week. Workday says it came from backup system testing and it's in maintenance mode. Does an HR portal being down actually stop payroll from running, or is that panic?

The portal being down and payroll not running are two different systems at most big employers. Seeing your stub ≠ getting paid.
depends when the payroll file gets cut. if it was already sent before the outage you're fine. if not, yeah it could slip a day
