PAP.4.8.020 Conflict of Interest

Employees are not permitted to engage in nepotism, favoritism, and any outside business transactions, or other activities, which are detrimental to the best interests of the Tribe and/or the LCOHA. This includes activities that, directly or indirectly, divert business opportunities from the Tribe/LCOHA or confer an unfair advantage upon or benefit to a family member. It also includes activities that negatively reflect upon the Tribe/LCOHA's image or are contrary to the mission of the Tribe/LCOHA, except for activities specifically protected by law. The Tribe/LCOHA respects the right of employees to engage in activities outside their employment that are of a private nature and unrelated to their job or the Tribe/LCOHA. However, employees must fully disclose to their department head or director or the Human Resource Director, or designee, all business and personal activities that represent such a conflict of interest with the Tribe/LCOHA. If an employee is unsure whether a conflict of interest exists, the employee is encouraged to seek the advice of the Human Resource Director, or designee.
