Sample text from the file
.RETURNINGRETURNINGA GIFTA GIFT If you receive prohibited gift that you did not ask for, promptly return it to the giver, or donate an amount equal to the value of the gift to an appropriate 501(c)(3) charity. If you take one of these steps, there is no violation of the Gift Ban. In such an instance, though, make sure you carefully document what happened, and disclose it to your supervisor as soon as reasonably possible. APPEARANCESAPPEARANCES The purpose of the Gift Ban is not only to ensure that employees act in the public' interest, but also to ensure that employees appear to be acting in the public's interest. Some gifts may seem to fit within an exception, but still give the appearance of having undue influence over the employee or agency. WHEN INWHEN INDOUBT,DOUBT, GET HELP! GET HELP! If you receive any gift that seems inappropriate, or have any questions about how the Gift Ban applies to you, contact your agency's Ethics Officer. TT HEHEGG IFT IFT BB ANAN EXECUTIVE ETHICS COMMI
