This guide explains how employment is configured and managed in OCR for Higher Education. It covers institution and campus HR access, employee and faculty contracts, grades and salary steps, leave entitlements, salary tax estimates, payroll processing, advances, resignation, contract endings, and experience letters.
Quick answer: Institution Admin configures employment policy and permissions. Employment HR manages contracts within its assigned scope. Finance processes and reconciles salary runs according to the selected payroll responsibility level. Employees and faculty use Profile icon > My Account > My Records for their own contracts, resignation records, experience-letter requests, and other employment records.

Can I sign in with my employee ID?
Use the email address or username registered for your portal account. Your employee ID works only when the institution has configured it as your username.
For employees and faculty: Review your contract before accepting, keep a copy of the signed PDF when required, submit requests through My Account, and use the status in My Records to follow approvals. For administrators and Finance: confirm policy scope, dates, HR/Finance assignments, and saved snapshots before issuing contracts or closing payroll.
