Ethics & Conflict of Interest Law
for Municipal Employees |
|
|
|
| |
|
Link to On-line
Conflict of Interest Law Course |
| |
| The Conflict of Interest Law, M.G.L. Ch 268A, was
provided to prevent conflicts between private interests
and public duties, foster integrity in public service
and promote the public's trust and confidence in that
service by placing restrictions on what municipal
employees may do on the job, after hours and after
leaving public service. |
|
|
| All municipal employees will receive the Summary of the
Conflict of Interest Law within 30 days of their initial
hire date, as well as once a year thereafter. Employees
are required to sign a receipt acknowledging they have
been provided the Summary of the Conflict of Interest
Law and return it to the Office of the Town Clerk as
soon as possible. |
|
|
| Another educational tool provided by the State Ethics
Commission is a short twenty question, multiple choice,
online training program that presents certain scenarios
in which an ethical quandary has been presented and the
test taker must choose the proper course of action. A
completion certificate must be printed out at the end of
the quiz and a copy handed in to the Office of the Town
Clerk (we highly recommend that you keep a copy in your
own files). This must be done within 30 days by new
employees and also once every two years from inception
forwards. |
|
|
| While this should not be a substitute for legal advice,
employees can obtain free confidential advice about how
the conflict of interest law may apply to you via the
State Ethics Commission: |
