will status will not change despite subsequent changes in an Employee’s duties, responsibilities, and/or compensation. Workplace Policies Attendance Regular attendance is expected of all employees. Punctuality and regular attendance indicate a sense of personal responsibility. Habitual lateness and frequent absence may adversely affect not only the Employee’s performance, but also the morale and efficiency of the group or department as a whole. If you are unable to report to work, or if you will arrive late, please contact your supervisor. If you know in advance that you will need to be absent, please request this time off directly from your supervisor. Conflict of Interest The Conflict of Interest policy is intended to prevent employees from engaging in activities that are incompatible with the impartial and objective performance of their duties. Because a conflict of interest can be difficult to define, policies usually are designed to cover a wide-range of employee activities, circumstances, and relationships that could be adverse to an Employer's interests. LHD does not seek to interfere with the off-duty conduct and activities of its Employees. However, there are certain types of off-duty conduct that may interfere with LHD’s legitimate business interests. For that reason, employees are expected to conduct their personal affairs in a manner that does not adversely affect LHD or their own integrity or credibility. Off-duty conduct that adversely affects LHD’s legitimate business interests or an Employee’s ability to perform his/her job will not be tolerated. While employed by LHD, all employees are expected to devote energies and efforts to LHD. Due to the importance of this requirement, all employees must avoid activities or relationships that conflict with LHD’s interests or adversely affect LHD’s reputation. Furthermore, LHD prohibits any outside employment, relationships, or other activities that create any actual, potential, or apparent conflict of interest. The types of activities and relationships employees should avoid include, but are not limited to:  Accepting, agreeing to accept, or soliciting money or other tangible or intangible benefits in exchange for the Employee’s favorable decisions or actions in the performance of his or her job;  Accepting employment or compensation or engaging in any business or professional activity that might require disclosure of LHD confidential information;  Accepting employment or compensation that could reasonably be expected to impair the individual’s independent judgment in the performance of official duties;  Using any assets or resources of LHD for personal gain or advantage.
