Many departments operate 24-hours a day, 7-days a week. The workweek for full-time Campus employees is typically 40 hours per week measured from 12:01 a.m. Sunday through midnight the following Saturday. The work week for UAB Medicine employees begins on Sunday at 7:00 a.m. and ends the following Sunday at 6:59 a.m. Changes to departmental work schedules will be announced to give employees as much advance notice as possible. Employees are expected to be ready to begin and report to work on time when scheduled. This includes employees working a hybrid or reduced work schedule or at a remote location. Employees are also expected to work throughout their regularly scheduled work hours.

Employees having an urgent reason for leaving the worksite, including but not limited to the hybrid or reduced work schedule or remote work location, or who are unable to continue their workday, must receive prior authorization from their supervisor or department/unit head.
