Council employees access to systems

If you're a current City of Âé¶¹Ó³»­ employee and do not have a Council (work) email address, you can request access to systems on your own phone, tablet or computer by registering your own personal email address. (Please do not register using a shared email account, for example one someone else has access to).

How to request access

  1. You must have your own (not shared) email address.
  2. Call our askHR team on 0131 469 5555 and say you would like access to systems.
  3. The askHR team will ask you some security questions to confirm your identity.
  4. Your access will then be set up and you'll receive separate communications explaining how to log into the applications below.

What you'll get access to 

  1. myHR: Our HR and Payroll system. Submit leave requests and pay claims, view your payslip, apply for vacancies, and update your personal details at a time that suits you.
  2. The Orb: Our intranet. Read information on pay, benefits and holidays, employee communications, wellbeing initiatives, as well as guidance and support on all our policies and procedures.
  3. myLearning Hub: Our online learning experience platform. You can personalise your learning experience, and myLearning Hub can also make recommendations on topics that might interest you and show you new content.
  4. Halo: This is our online helpdesk which lets you raise questions or complete forms for action by Human Resources, ICT, FM, Health and Safety and many others.
  5. Communications: You'll receive regular updates from us on what's happening.

By signing-up, you'll help to contribute to our commitment in the Council’s print and digital mail strategy which focuses on creating a print environment that reduces costs and print volumes, reduces our carbon footprint, and ultimately helps move us towards our end goal of Net Carbon Zero. 

Personal information will be stored confidentially on our HR and payroll system, in line with the UK General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR).
