Q & A: EIV

Question:  A company I used to work for had the Maintenance Supervisor sign EIV Rules of Behavior, just in case he saw something he wasn’t supposed to see.  Is that correct?  ~ Mary, Indiana

Answer:  No, that’s not correct.  Page 51 of HUD’s EIV Notice 2011-21 notes that the ROB (Rules of Behavior for those Without EIV System Access) should be signed by staff who see or use EIV Reports “in order to perform their job functions”.  Since maintenance personnel have no job-related need to use EIV data, they should not sign the ROB.
