Speaking of compatibility mode, here are some policies I have set up, since this was an ongoing issue with IE9 for a while. I still have them enabled and I haven't run into this issue for IE10 on Win8 users.

I have something similar for docview.ais.msu.edu and ntweb1.ais.msu.edu, although I'm not sure if it's required anymore since the upgrade they made.

I have a few machines running IE 11 and if you run it in compatibility mode for the HR functions in EBS, it seems to work - I don't know how Finance tasks work in IE 11.

I'm guessing the machines upgraded to ie 11. I've seen similar errors with ie 11 in our department, and it's not supported yet by EBS.
(Annoyingly, I tried putting the block in at the global policy level for our domain, but apparently it failed miserably, because everything here's been updating, so I've unfortunately had a fair number of problems with ie 11 and ebs as a result, and been manually downgrading
machines.)
