Employee Compliance and Ethics Guide
The purpose of the Employee Compliance and Ethics Guide (“Guide”)
is to emphasize the need for, and the responsibility of all employees of the University of Houston-Downtown (UHD) to be aware of and to perform their duties
and responsibilities in compliance with all applicable:
·
Federal and state laws
·
Local rules and regulations
·
Policies of the University of Houston
– System (UHS) Board of Regents
·
Policies and procedures of UHD
Although this Guide addresses a number
of specific laws, policies, rules and regulations, it is not intended
to be a comprehensive list of legal and ethical standards. Rather, it provides
UHD employees with information about the laws, policies,
rules and regulations that have a direct
impact on the University and its operations. It is also an educational tool and information directory to train UHD employees regarding the conduct required of them in the workplace.
Throughout
the Guide, applicable UHS and UHD policies are
referenced to provide employees with more detailed information. Generally, if you have further questions please see your supervisor. Faculty
may discuss issues with their Department Chair and/or Dean. The Institutional Compliance Officer
and Compliance Committee members are also available to answer
questions.
