What is Chef?
Chef is a user-friendly interface to RRU’s resource management system. It will accept information about new employees, contractors, and guests, update the resource management system, and manage the creation of computer accounts. Individuals or hiring managers can also use CHEF to update existing records.
How Chef updates the resource management system
The resource management system is called Unit4. Every time a new record is added to Chef, Chef creates the master record and sends information to systems as required, following this workflow:
Employee types | Contractor types |
|---|
Hiring Manager enters information about a new employee 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 employee (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

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.
