High ethical standards are vital to workplace morale and productivity, and maintaining them is a core value for UAB.
That is the reason for the UAB Ethics Hotline, which enables you to inquire about or report actual or potential unethical or unlawful work-related behavior in a safe, anonymous way, online or over the phone. The hotline is designed for use by all members of the UAB community - the University of Alabama at Birmingham, UAB Health System, University of Alabama Health Services Foundation (HSF) and other UAB affiliates.
You can call the UAB Ethics Hotline toll-free at 1-866-362-9476 or report your issue online here if you have concerns about possible violations of legal or ethical standards. Of course, you always have the option to discuss your concerns with your supervisor, the Office of Human Resources or a designated compliance officer, as well.
UAB implemented the Ethics Hotline as part of the university's adoption of ethical and financial management practices mandated for for-profit entities by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. (Non-profit operations like UAB are not required to adopt the standards.) The Ethics Hotline is one in a series of initiatives designed to promote ethical business practices.
Thank you for your help with this important effort.
