Humber College is committed to principles of equity, diversity and inclusion in the workplace. The Employment Equity Act was passed in 1986. Recognizing that "systemic discrimination" was responsible for most of the inequality found in employment, the Abella Royal Commission on Equality in Employment outlined a systemic response and chose the term "Employment Equity" to describe the process.

To learn more about Humber’s Employment Equity program, please visit the Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Diversity website.

The Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Diversity invites all full-time and non-full-time employees to complete the Employment Equity Questionnaire (EEQ). The information that you provide in the EEQ will be kept confidential and will only be reported in aggregate form for Employment Equity purposes. In other words, the reported data will not contain any personal identification. Having up-to-date knowledge of our workforce representation will allow the College to identify where underrepresentation exists, and to target its efforts toward removing barriers that may exist in the College’s employment systems.

Please note - the completion of Humber’s Employment Equity Questionnaire is voluntary.

How can I access the Employment Equity Questionnaire?

  • Employees can access the EEQ directly in the HRMS by following the steps below:
    • Go to http://hrs.humber.ca
    • Click on HRMS Sign In
    • Enter your Humber credentials to sign in
    • Click on Personal Information
    • Click on Personal Details
    • Expand the section titled Biographical Info
    • Click on the pencil icon to add/update your responses to the EEQ
    • The steps are also listed in the HRMS Knowledge Base titled, View and Update Personal Information.
  • If you require the EEQ in an alternate format, please contact Bharat Saini at bharat.saini@humber.ca.

Please visit the Centre website for Frequently Asked Questions pertaining to the Employment Equity Program.

The Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Diversity thanks you for helping to build a more inclusive Humber.

Exciting things are happening in Financial Services, starting November 12, 2020, and every Thursday after that, weekly vendor payments will be automated. This means that the vendor payment process will run automatically every Thursday at the scheduled time.

What does this mean for you?

Submitting your invoices for payment on time and completing receiving is very important to ensure the payment is sent to the vendor that week.

It is best practice to have invoices sent directly to accounts.payable@humber.ca as this ensure invoices are processed in a timely manner.  AP processes invoices within 10 business days or less from the date of receiving the invoice via email.

If you require a payment to be processed immediately, you must email the invoice to AP no later than Wednesdays at 12 p.m., and indicate in the subject line: Urgent. 

Keep in mind that the payment terms set up in the PO will dictate what date the payment will be issued.

If you have any questions feel free to contact staci.lindsay@humber.ca.

Thank you in advance for your support and cooperation!

Humber College and the University of Guelph-Humber participate annually in the Take your Kids to Work program. This program is typically an in-person, on campus event for children of employees who are attending high school, to get a first-hand glimpse of the world of work and in particular, the many careers at Humber. 

This year and due to the impact of COVID-19, Humber College will not be participating in the on-campus Learning Partnership program for 2020. We look forward to participating in the program in 2021. 

This program, organized through a Canadian charity, The Learning Partnership (www.learningpartnership.ca), is the most recognized career exploration event in Canada. Participants typically enjoy an experiential learning opportunity with the help and support of a number of departments and faculties throughout the institution bringing career opportunities ‘to life’.

For your information, CISCO Canada is hosting a virtual Take Your Kids to STEM Day. This virtual event for high school students is taking place on November 4 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. For additional details and to register for this event, please visit the recent Communiqué announcement.
