§ 1100.8 - Rules of conduct.

(a) The primary purpose of establishing rules of conduct is to provide guidance. Although the rules set forth in this Order are considered reasonable, it is recognized there will be instances in which one or more of these rules will be disregarded or violated. Provisions have therefore been made for the imposition of remedial actions designed both to correct the disregard on the part of the offenders and to serve as a caution to others.

(b) On-the-job conduct. Each employee is expected to:

(1) Report promptly for work in a condition which will permit him to perform assigned duties (i.e., in appropriate clothing, with any required tools and/or equipment, and in a sober condition).

(2) Render full, efficient, and industrious service in the performance of assigned duties. If insufficient work is assigned to occupy an employee fully at any given time, he is expected to notify his supervisor so that additional work may be assigned.

(3) Give ready response and enthusiasm to directions and instructions received from his supervisor.

(4) Exercise courtesy and tact in dealings with fellow workers and the public.

(5) Maintain a clean and neat personal appearance to the maximum practicable extent during working hours.

(6) Conserve and protect Federal funds, property, equipment, and materials.

(7) Observe the various laws, rules, regulations, and other authoritative instructions, and consistently conduct himself in a manner which is beyond reproach.

(8) Recognize his responsibility for taking an active part in the Section affairs.

(9) Uphold with integrity the public trust involved in the position to which assigned.

(c) Off-the-job conduct. While the Section does not desire to interfere unnecessarily in the private lives of its employees, it does expect them to conduct themselves at all times in a manner which will not reflect unfavorably upon the Federal Government as their employer.
