Term employees WILL have an end date on their resource record but their computer account will not. When their term ends. HR offboarding processes ensure their end date is changed. At that point, their Unit 4 record will become inactive and their computer account will be disabled and moved into the deletion process.
Contractors of all kinds will have a ‘contract end date’ on their resource record but not on their computer account. When their contract ends, their Unit4 record will become inactive. Their computer account will be disabled and moved into the deletion process.
...
CHEF does not manage end dates. The computer account management process relies on dates in Unit 4. This means it’s very important to keep Unit 4 - the system of record for resource records - up to date.

A new contractor?
Employees | Contractors (academic and non-academic) |
|---|---|
Everything leading up to when a new employee accepts a job offer and signs their acceptance letter stays the same. | Everything leading up to when a contracted resource signs their contract stays the same. This is true for all contractors. |
At the same point a hiring manager would have entered information into CAMP to create a computer account, they’ll go to CHEF instead. (A computer account will be created and integrations will be made with systems in the background, as required for other business processes to function as expected.) | At the same point a hiring manager would have entered information into CAMP to create a computer account, they’ll go to CHEF instead.

Hiring managers will visit a specific webform (the link will be provided soon) to select from a list of things that might be needed for a new employee. The list includes things like:
Submitting the form sends requests to the right departments to provide these things.

Wow! Why does the
...
set up process for employees and contractors look the same?!
BEFORE a new person signs a letter of offer or a contract, the financial and hiring processes for employees and contractors may look very different. There are good reasons for that, some of them legal.
But regardless That’s different than getting the person set up to do their work.
Regardless of their relationship with us, once a person has committed to provide services in exchange for money, RRU needs to give them access to the things they need to meet that commitment.
...
For some contractors, a place to sit may not be required. A computer may not be required. And in fact, we may not be allowed to provide a place to sit or equipment (legal reasons). But access Access to RRU resources will probably be required even if it’s just to a SharePoint site where they can collaborate with the people they work with. Other contractors Some contractors may not need access to a SharePoint site, but they may need access to a few more different things, like Moodle and training related to Moodle.
It all depends on the work the new person will be doing.
The hiring manager knows what the new person needs to do the work we’ve asked them to do, so the hiring manager will say ‘yes’ to all the right things RRU must make available to the new person.
Can we
...
use shared mailboxes as ‘supervisors’ in CHEF as we did in CAMP
...
?
Some people currently use(d) shared mailboxes as CAMP supervisors so that notifications can be received and processed by more than one person.
Although the hiring manager or delegate must enter or edit records in CHEF, they can provide a shared mailbox email address as the recipient of notifications if that works better for your team.
What kind of notifications will CHEF send?
One of the main purposes of notifications in CAMP was to trigger various activities like:
creation of a computer account (that notification went to a system, not a person)
provisioning computer equipment
providing access to software
And at various points in history, things like:
keys
training
long distance codes
phones
updating of other systems like Moodle
But because hiring managers will use a special webform to ask for these things, CHEF won’t need to send notifications about them.
The other main purpose of notifications from CAMP was to advise the hiring manager that a computer account would be deleted soon so that they could change the expiration date if applicable.
Because computer accounts will no longer have end dates, this notification will no longer be needed.
The bottom line is that CHEF will send fewer notifications than CAMP did and they will confirmation that the record was been submitted, approved by HR if appropriate, that kind of thing.
(If you’re a person who previously received notifications from CAMP and you’re worried that you’ll miss important information, please know that we have the information you shared with Cecilia previously and we will provide for you.)

the managers when they are away or need support. Can I still do that in CHEF?
The answer is YES, you absolutely can edit records for everyone who reports through to you. And you can add new records, too.
