In May 2012, Ryerson implemented an initiative to promote vacation planning to bring vacation credit and CTO balances within the limits established in our policies and collective agreements.

Communications were sent to staff and leaders with instructions and resources to establish a plan to reduce excess vacation balances. Everyone was asked to complete a “Plan to Use Vacation & Compensating Time Off (CTO) Form” detailing how your balance would be reduced by September 30, 2014.

Ryerson HR is pleased to announce the launch of eHire, the new recruitment system integrated into eHR. We are now ready to streamline the recruitment process into one easy location!

Using eHire, hiring managers will post vacancies, and applicants can search for teaching assistant, graduate assistant, invigilator and lab monitor postings, upload their resume, and apply for positions. The hiring manager will then review applicants, hire the candidate, and create their employment record -- all electronically and in one convenient location through eHR.

eHire will eliminate duplicate data entry, and replace both the TAGA application and the eAppoint hire function, as it expands the capabilities of eHR to include features found on popular recruiting sites.
