Conflict Of Interest
POLICY:
No employee or member of the Governing Body, Advisory Committee, or other individual, committee, or entity shall derive any profit or gain directly or indirectly by reason of their association with the agency, without the prior knowledge and approval of the Governing Body. All board members and/or employees, at the discretion and specific request of the board, will be required to submit a disclosure statement annually.
If a matter arises in which a member of the board or employee has a conflict of interest, it shall be promptly disclosed to the Administrator and Governing Body.
In matters involving a conflict of interest, a board member must disclose any known significant reasons why a transaction might not be in the best interest of the agency and a board member shall not participate in discussions unless requested by the board nor vote on such transactions. The abstention and the reason for it shall be recorded in the minutes.
Field staff in any capacity understands that all patients are patients of the Agency not personal patients of the field staff. Patients may never be serviced privately by an employee of Our Agency for the financial gain of the employee. Should an employee terminate employment with Pacific Hands Home Care, the field staff understands that the patient may not be encouraged or otherwise moved from our Agency to another agency.
INDIVIDUAL STATEMENT REGARDING CONFLICT OF INTEREST.
I,________________________________________________, have read and am fully familiar with
the agency’s policy statement regarding conflict of interest. I am not presently involved in any
transaction, investment, or other matter in which I would profit or gain directly or indirectly as a
result of my membership on the agency’s board of Directors or its committees or my employment.
Furthermore, I agree to disclose any such interest which may occur in accordance with the
requirements of the policy and agree to abstain from any vote or action regarding the agency’s business that might result in any profit or gain directly or indirectly, for myself.
