Accessing internal employee portals shouldn't feel like navigating a maze. If you're trying to log into the OhioHealth eSource Workday platform to check pay stubs, update tax withholdings, or review your schedule, you need a direct path without the runaround. Let's look at how to get logged in quickly, troubleshoot common access roadblocks, and manage your credentials safely.
OhioHealth integrates internal intranet tools through eSource (SharePoint) and HR functions through Workday. Whether you're working a shift at Riverside Methodist Hospital or logging in from home for administrative tasks, understanding how your credentials tie together saves time and prevents lockouts.
Accessing OhioHealth eSource and Workday
OhioHealth associates, providers, and staff typically rely on the internal network or secure remote access methods to reach eSource and Workday.
- Connect to the Network: If you're on-site at an OhioHealth facility, open your preferred browser and navigate to the internal intranet homepage (eSource).
- Locate Workday Links: On the eSource dashboard or downtime page, find the Quick Links section referencing HR Self-Service (Workday) or Cost Center Lookup.
- Sign In With Credentials: Enter your assigned OhioHealth network ID and password when prompted by the single sign-on (SSO) authentication screen.
- Remote Access: If you're off-site, you may need to use approved virtual private network (VPN) configurations or multi-factor authentication (MFA) prompts sent to your registered mobile device.

Key Features Inside HR Self-Service
Once you clear the login screen, Workday handles your core employment data. Knowing where to look cuts down navigation time.
- Pay and Taxes: View current and past pay statements, download W-2 forms, and modify direct deposit allocations or federal and state tax withholdings.
- Benefits Administration: Manage health insurance elections, dental plans, flexible spending accounts, and life insurance beneficiaries during open enrollment or qualifying life events.
- Time and Attendance: Review logged hours, request paid time off, and check shift swap approvals depending on your department's specific tracking tools.
- Personal Profile: Update your emergency contacts, home address, phone numbers, and professional certifications.
Troubleshooting Common Sign-In Roadblocks
Even with single sign-on tools, access issues happen. If you encounter an error screen or a failed login attempt, check these common fixes before calling the helpdesk.
Browser Compatibility Issues
Enterprise portals often require modern, updated browsers. If your login page fails to load or loops indefinitely, switch to an approved browser like Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge. Clear your browser cache and cookies if old session data interferes with authentication tokens.
Password Expiry and Lockouts
OhioHealth passwords expire periodically according to security guidelines. If you enter an incorrect password too many times, your account locks automatically. Use the self-service password reset portal available on the internal network, or follow prompts on the login screen if you're set up for off-network self-recovery.
Off-Network Connection Barriers
Trying to access internal applications from a personal device outside the hospital network often triggers security blocks. If you receive a connection timeout or unauthorized access error, verify whether you need to establish an active VPN connection first or use the designated secure external portal gateway.
If problems persist, contact the IS Support desk directly at (614) 566-4357 for immediate assistance.
