Requesting Proxy Access for Spouses

Instructions for Requesting Proxy Access to a Spouse’s Disclosure Profile

UAB employees are required to disclose applicable financial interests for themselves, spouses, and dependents. To support this requirement among spouses who are both UAB employees, UAB allows employees to request proxy access for a spouse to add their financial interests to an employee’s disclosure profile when both spouses are UAB employees.

Important Requirements

• The spouse who is granting access must submit the request.
• If both spouses want to grant access to one another, each spouse must submit their own request—one request per person granting access.
• Note that spouses who have proxy access may add or change entries in your disclosure profile; however, you (the discloser) must review the changes and submit the disclosure profile update.
