HR Policy 316: Employee Photo Identification Badge/ONE Card has been updated effective Aug. 1. The changes reflect new requirements for employee ID badges that support implementation of a broader campus safety plan promoting greater control over access to campus facilities and employing additional technologies to enhance security for faculty, staff and students.
The changes to HR Policy 316 can be viewed online in the UAB Policies & Procedures Library. Details regarding the new UAB campus safety plan were published this month in the UAB Reporter: “New building security measures to begin this fall.”
