Overview
This process should be completed by a supervisor or HR administrator.
As of 09/01/21 this guide is no longer considered production.
Certain portions of the process have changes as VCU Health has migrated to a new HR management system, Workday.
To find out more about Workday: https://vcuhealth.service-now.com/sp?id=workday_hub
We have noticed some SOM administrators do not have the necessary access within Workday to onboard new employees.
- If this is the case, please email HR4U@vcuhealth.org and request access for onboarding SOM employees via Workday
- If you do not receive an update from HR4U after 48 hours - please contact SOMTech and we will follow up ASAP.
Things are changing frequently and we will strive to update this guide as we find out new information.
