Employees must disclose actual or potential conflicts to your supervisor as soon as they become aware of them. Failure to make required disclosures or resolve conflicts of interest satisfactorily can result in discipline, up to and including termination of employment. Questions regarding whether particular conduct might create a conflict of interest with LHD should be directed to Human Resources for resolution.
