MOVE IT UP Team Updates

Operational Changes

As we continue to improve our operations and onboard new staff, we will frequently be implementing new processes and reiterating old ones. Please see our most recent updates below-

• As of now, staff members are no longer allowed to meet the team at the site or eleave right after a clinic. All tteam members are to report to the Annex at their scheduled start time and end their day at the Annex. Only under extenuating circumstances or with prior approval from Monica will anyone be able to drive themselves to and from clinic sites.

• If you need a day off, you must send Monica an email at least 2 weeks in advance and it will be approved on a first come first-served basis.

• Sometimes the schedule may be changed at the last minute due to staffing or project needs. If a change must be made the ONLY thing that will change is the site location and not the scheduled hours. Monica is working on having the schedule done no later than Saturday afternoon for your convenience.

• UC Davis vehicles are for business use ONLY! See Use of University Vehicles: Bus 46. They are not to be used for personal errands (ex. coffee runs, food, snack run). 
• The only exception to this rule is when the team is out on a site and there’s no food nearby, then ONE PERSON is allowed to go pick up food for the team. Multiple trips are not allowed for this purpose.
• Misuse of UC Davis property will not be tolerated.

• Only one person should be taking their lunch at a given time. During events if we are overstaffed, a max of 2 people are allowed to take a lunch at the same time – this is at the discretion of the charge nurse (charge nurses please plan accordingly so the lunch guidelines are followed.)
• Lunch breaks are 30 min. and they start right after you walk away from the clinic. Lunch does not start after you pick up your lunch. (example: if you go buy lunch, your 30 minutes start as you leave not when you return and start to eat your lunch).

• There have been a couple times at a clinic when the team runs out of supplies. We provide you with enough time every night to restock everything you need so you don’t come across this problem. If there’s a large event happening, you must bring extra supplies and extra giveaways. Since we never know how busy the clinic will be, we need to be prepared. 

• Lastly, we want to remind everyone that we are a “TEAM” and everyone is expected to work together to get ready for clinics and to pack up our clinics. This includes Charge Nurses, Per-diem Nurses, LVN’s, and MOSC’s. (examples: loading, unloading vans, setting up, gathering supplies etc.) 

If you have any questions regarding the items mentioned above, please feel free to communicate with Monica. Thank you for understanding and thank you all for your hard work and dedication to the MOVE IT UP project.
