Beginning next year, Employee Health Services will be changing the annual health clearance requirements from the annual clearance date to the birthdate.
This change was approved by the Human Resource Management Hospital Committee in October 2018.
The goal for transitioning from the hire date to the birthdate is:
- Improve compliance for the annual health clearance, as birthdates are easier for employees to remember
- Simplify transitions between entities
- Provide accurate and reliable reports
The transition is expected to take one year.
Transition process
In the 2019 transition year, employees must visit one of the Employee Health Services locations below — either on their hire date or birthdate, whichever comes first — to ensure compliance with their clearance requirements.
Most employees will need two TB skin tests to maintain annual compliance as we transition to a birthdate clearance deadline. Employee Health Services will accept a TB skin test from an outside location — as long as the test is within the employee’s birth month.
For healthcare and Shared Service employees, annual TB tests and clearances are available at monthly clinics located in the Medical Center or Children’s Hospital. Clinic dates are posted on PeoplePortal or the Employee Health Services website.
Monday-Friday walk-in appointments are available at Employee Health Services located at the FMO Suite 1250 from 7 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. or by appointment beginning at 12:30 p.m. TB tests and clearances can also be done at off-site mobile clinic locations that are pre-scheduled monthly at the specific locations. Please check with your department for dates and times.
*This excludes Thursdays due to the read time of 48-72 hours. The department is closed on weekends.
A monthly TB compliance report, along with the report of the employees who will be due in the following 30 days, will be sent out to all department heads and vice presidents on or around the 10th of each month.
