The Counsel for Ethics and her team are part of the Office of Legal Counsel, a division of the Solicitor’s Office at the Department of Labor. The Ethics team is responsible for providing advice to all Department of Labor employees regarding conflict of interest statutes, ethics regulations, Hatch Act and related laws and departmental policies. In addition, the Ethics team oversees the Department’s financial disclosure program (both Public and Confidential) and the ethics training program.
There are four major summaries of the rules that we recommend employees become familiar with:
- How To Keep Out Of Trouble
- Social Media and Ethics
- Political Activities and Hatch Act
- Seeking and Post-Employment Guidance
If you have any questions about these materials, or if you need advice not addressed by these documents, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
