In an effort to standardize staffing requests across the Health System, please use the following two surveys to 1) request additional staff needed on an ongoing basis due to COVID-19 or 2) to add available attending physicians and staff to the redeployment labor pool. 

1. If you are a manager and you require additional staff:

Managers should fill out the COVID-19 Staffing Request to request redeployed staff needed on an ongoing basis. Please note that day-to-day Inpatient Nursing requests should continue to follow the current standard practice on Forms Portal. Requests will be reviewed within 24 hours and managers will receive notice of whether their requests can be fulfilled within the requested timeframe.

2. If you are a manager and have attending physicians and/ or staff that are available for redeployment (underutilized attending physicians and staff):

Managers should fill out the COVID-19 Staff Available for Redeployment to add attending physicians and staff to the redeployment labor pool. Please submit one survey per faculty or staff member. Individuals will be assigned based on the needs of the health system while taking into account credentials, work limitations, work experience, background, location, and shift times. 

We have provided general notice to the unions that we will be reassigning staff. The following will be considered:

• Assignments should fall within a workforce member’s current job title, and at the same or lower level
• A staff member’s competency, willingness to volunteer for the redeployment position, and seniority, as per UC start date
• Staff will be selected for redeployment in the following order: (1) Career (2) Per Diem (3) Travel / Registry 
• To the extent possible, exempt staff should be assigned to exempt positions and non-exempt staff to non-exempt position

When staff are redeployed, they should use the applicable COVID19 Cost Centers on their timesheets.
