Our Nation
is in the midst of extensive political activities;
therefore, as public servants we must act with
prudence to ensure that our participation in political
activities does not create real or apparent conflicts
of interest with regard to the performance of
our official duties. Under the Hatch Act, Executive
Branch employees are subject to rules that limit
their involvement in political activities. To
give all Office of the Chief Financial Officer
employees ready access to political activities
[Hatch Act] guidelines continuously, a web streaming
presentation is available at mms://151.121.2.21/content/da/ethics.wmv.
The video is approximately one
hour. Employees wishing to view the session should
make the request to their supervisors. Workload
should be considered when scheduling a viewing.
Also, public and confidential financial disclosure
report filers who view the presentation will satisfy
their annual training requirement.
The web streaming presentation
is provided exclusively to ensure that employees
fully understand their limitations under the guidelines
of the Hatch Act. It is not provided to encourage
or discourage employees' participation in political
activities.
If you have questions or
encounter situations not covered by the presentation,
please contact your supervisor. Supervisors with
inquiries should contact the Agency Ethics Office
at 504-426-0308 or 504-426-0307.
