The CHRIS User Interface will be changing in 2020 to a new 'Electric Theme'

This demonstration is to allow users to see this new look interface and to ask questions.

Please note, this is not intended to be a training session, training will be provided at a later date to those users that require it.

The iTrent Electric theme is the new user Interface for the CHRIS HR and Payroll system. While nothing has changed in the background of the database, the way we view the data and how we access the screens have. The Electric theme gives a more streamlined and responsive way to access everyday HR Tasks.

This session gives users the opportunity to log on using the new Electric User profile, view the changes and ask any questions. It is not an instructor led course.

If you are regularly required to write, or offer advice on writing, CHRIS/PD33s, either as a line manager or a departmental administrator then this course is for you.

These latest presentations of the Web Recruitment system will demonstrate the additional functionality being developed in Phase 3 of the Web Recruitment Project.

The demos will allow for feedback from Schools and Departmental Administrators before new functionality is introduced in July.

Release 3 of the University’s web-based recruitment system will be launched on 28 July. There will be no formal training with this release but these Go-Live briefings are available to demonstrate the new functionality. The updated system will allow staff involved in recruitment to collect additional information relating to Tier 2 Certificate of Sponsorship applications, purge applicant data, and record the progress of offers in a more intuitive way. It also incorporates changes prompted by the introduction of the new Screening Policy.

Bookings for this course and any other HR Systems Training courses are placed on hold in response to the rapidly changing events due to COVID-19. HR Systems Training Courses are being delivered via Microsoft Teams. Please email Hazel at chris.training@admin.cam.ac.uk to schedule training.

This course is for New CHRIS Users.

Whilst primarily aimed at new departmental administrators who will have HR responsibilities within their department, it is also suitable for those who work within Finance.

The course is an introduction to the system and covers:

• Personal details, address, contact details, key dates
• Employment details for individuals including items such as grade, salary, hours and limit of tenure
• Costing details
• How your department is structured on CHRIS and the posts it contains

This course shows departmental staff how to process leavers in their department directly into CHRIS and how to enter the details of a preferred candidate of a recruitment exercise when an offer has been made to a job advertised through RAS.

These presentations of the RAS and Web Recruitment Systems will demonstrate additional functionality being introduced in March 2019 which will replace the CHRIS/10 New Appointment form in most cases. The sessions are aimed at: (a) anyone who processes CHRIS/10 New Appointment forms and (b) all those involved in the Web Recruitment process in institutions. They will include an overview of the change, step-by-step guidance and time for any questions.

This course is for those who are new to the Recruitment Administration System (RAS) or those who wish to have a refresher.
