Q: Why do I need to file? How does the process work?
In summary, the requirements as they apply to UAB are:
- Persons whose base rate of pay at any time during the last calendar year was $97,000 or more, even if employment during the year was for a period as short as one day
- Persons whose job includes purchasing or procurement authority
- Individuals who served as a supervisor (UAB has chosen to identify these individuals in the HR Admin System as those who served in a job role with a leadership category of manager, functional director or organizational leader during the last calendar year.)
- Executive assistants to leaders in the institution, due to their access to highly confidential information.
Persons whose pay and benefits come primarily from UAB Hospital are exempt from the filing requirement.
