Timekeeping
If you are an hourly team member who needs to clock in, we will direct you to a Kronos clock for pin punching. We will review the pin punching instructions included in your orientation when you arrive.
Meals
To ensure we are able to maintain proper social distancing, we ask that you eat any meals in the cafeteria. You are welcome to get food from the cafeteria or bring food with you – microwaves and water dispensers are available.
We also have a Subway onsite which is open from 7:00am-10:00pm. Vending machines are available throughout the hospital, primarily in waiting rooms. Most machines accept credit/debit cards. Should you need cash while onsite, there are two ATMs; one at the main entrance on the ground floor and one on the 1st floor just past the cafeteria and Subway, outside of the Credit Union.
