What is Chef?
Chef is a user-friendly interface to RRU’s resource management system, which is called Unit 4. It will collect information about new resources - employees, contractors, guests, etc. - update the resource management system, and manage the creation of computer accounts. Individuals or hiring managers can also use CHEF to update existing records.
Workflow in Chef
Processes used to hiring employees differ from those used to hire contractors but both involve receiving financial approvals, job postings, interviews, and offers. When someone accepts an offer from RRU, the hiring manager or delegate will add a record to Chef, which starts a chain of events, following this workflow:
Employee types | Contractor types |
|---|
Hiring Manager enters information about a new employee in Chef HR receives a notice
HR reviews and approves the record hiring manager receives a notice
Chef adds a new record to Unit 4 (this is the system of record) Chef sends information for the required record in Avanti, the payroll system
| Hiring Manager enters information about a new contractor in Chef (no approval checkpoint) Chef adds a new record to Unit 4 (this is the system of record) Chef sends information for the required record in the Accounts Payable system
|
Computer accounts
The computer account creation process runs three times each day. There has been no change to the computer account creation process. The next step in the workflow applies to all records entered into Chef.
Employee and Contractor types |

Chef sends information to the computer account creation process and on the next run, a computer account is created for the new person. This includes an RRU email address. The hiring manager receives a notice when the computer account is ready so that they can: communicate this to the new person at the right time, providing them with their username, email address, and temporary password visit the provisioning page in Our People to ask for things the new person needs, like access to shared mailboxes, O: drive folders, elevated permissions in corporate software, etc.
