| Professional Conduct and Public Service |
Working in the public sector is unique and, consequently, there are some explicit expectations for employee conduct. As a public employee, you are expected to fulfill your duties to the best of your ability and to uphold the public interest. During scheduled working hours, devote your full attention to the duties and responsibilities of your position. At all times, conduct yourself in a professional and respectful manner. In particular, State of Vermont employees are prohibited from the following:
- Using their positions to obtain special privileges.
- Using state personnel, property, or equipment for private use.
- Soliciting compensation from anyone except their employer for activities related to their positions.
- Engaging in any employment, activity or enterprise which has been or may be determined to be inconsistent, incompatible or in conflict with their duties as a State employee.
- Engaging in any outside employment, activity, or enterprise during work hours.
- Disclosing information which they receive or have access to by virtue of their official duties.
- Discriminate against, intimidate, or harass any employee because of race, color, religion, creed, ancestry, sex, marital status, age, national origin, handicap, membership or non-membership in the VSEA, filing a complaint or grievance, or any other factor that is prohibited by law.
