An Interview By Ben Mundy

A sneak-peak in Carina's life at Shared Services Human Resources department.

SSO staff reflect on 10 years of service at UC Davis.

Ali is the supervisor of the Health Records Unit, where she has worked for the past 2 years.

On Monday, Nov. 8, AggieService forms will include a new required field for employee cubicle.

Teri Sugai came to UC Davis mid-career looking for a change after working long hours for a small family-run company. She started off her journey at Davis in Central Payroll but hoped to
enter a more HR-focused position. In 2008 Teri made the switch to work at Facilities, before helping to create the Shared Service Organization as we know it today.

Ben: You played a significant role in creating the SSO. Tell us about how it came to be, how that led to today, and what your role was. 

Due to COVID-19 guidelines, the SSO has been conducting remote video onboarding, (including verification of I-9 documents) since March 18, 2020. 

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) requires original I-9 documents and in-person verification.  In light of COVID-19 physical distancing requirements, DHS granted an exception that allows employers to verify I-9s remotely, with the stipulation that documents be verified in person at a future date. The current DHS exception is valid through November 19, 2020.

The SSO is continuing to process employee ID cards and retiree cards remotely. At this time there is no in-person processing or walk-in service. 

To request an ID please send an email to employeeID@ucdavis.edu.  Please include ALL of the following information with your request:
