Under Executive Order 12731 all federal employees are required to behave in an honest and ethical manner in their day to day duties. The following are some of the rules, but not all.
- Employees shall put forth honest effort in the performance of their duties.
- Employees shall not use public office for private gain.
- Employees shall disclose waste, fraud, abuse, and corruption to appropriate authorities.
- Employees shall endeavnor to avoid any actions creating the appearance that they are violating the law or the ethical standards promulgated pursuant to this order.
There are federal employees who are clearly not being honest, or ethical, employees of our government. We NEED an honest, and ethical, government workforce now more than ever!
