3. Update your eHR security
Do you approve time for other employees?
After activating your Ryerson ID, you may need to update your personal eHR security to get access
to other parts of system. If you will approve time, or report payable time as part of your job, then
update your eHR security to get access as an alternate for Manager Self Service.
You will find the Manager Self Service form under Main Menu > Self Service > System Access
> Security Access Requests.
Will you perform recruiting functions?
Recruiting enables administrators, hiring managers, and approvers to recruit and hire candidates to
complete the full cycle of local recruitment online. Currently the system is limited to the CUPE Unit
3 and CUPE Unit 2 hiring only. If you will create job postings and manage the recruiting process for
CUPE Unit 3 or CUPE Unit 2 applicants for short term contracts as part of your job, then update
your eHR security to get access to Recruiting menus as a recruiter or an approver.
First, complete the training online (http://www.ryerson.ca/hr/learning-workshops/how-toeHR/index.html), and then complete the recruiting security access form for your role as either
recruiter or approver under Main Menu > Self Service > System Access > Security Access
Requests.
Will you initiate or validate appointments?
eAppoint is a system that enables faculties and departments to appoint people in eHR. Faculties
and departments recruit their temporary and contract employees for a variety of jobs and process
these appointments locally using eAppoint. If you will appoint employees for short term contracts
as part of your job, then update your eHR security to get access to eAppoint as an initiator or
validator.
First, complete the tutorials (http://www.ryerson.ca/hr/learning-workshops/how-toeHR/index.html) and then complete the security access form under Main Menu > Self Service >
System Access > Security Access Requests.
If none of the options described above apply to you, no further action is required on your
part.
