(Custodians who were already assigned to these shifts prior to January 1, 2016 are exempt from this requirement.) Custodians assigned to other shifts are not required to have a valid driver’s license. However, custodians who possess a valid driver’s license may be asked to drive on a voluntary basis.

Employees who are assigned to an irregular shift are considered essential personnel in accordance with the MIT Policy on Emergency Closing or Early Release. During emergencies, these employees are excused from their regularly scheduled work only with specific authorization of their supervisor, regardless of any public announcement that the Institute is closed. Other employees, who work a regular established work scheduled, are not considered essential personnel.

MIT will conduct a background check (including checking criminal records) for finalists. For current MIT SEIU members, this background check will be done for finalists who are bidding for a promotion or for a voluntary transfer to another classification seniority unit.
