Monitoring visits
Hi we are a site that has several on-site IMVs per month. We usually allow monitors to come on site at the start of the day 0900 and leave by 1700 so that CRCs can end their work day at 1730.
At the end of the day around 1700 when we ask our monitors to start packing up so we can collect study binders and escort them out the building, several monitors will always ask for a few more minutes and then end up staying past 1730. Most recently we had a monitor stay until 1800.
My question is: are monitors entitled to a certain amount of monitoring per day? I think 8 hours a day is fair. Our department will not grant over time for staying late for a monitor. Several of our CRCs are brand new and too timid to speak up to the monitors and ask them to leave. I am thinking we need to have a formal SOP so we can share with monitors on IMV expectations.
