INTRODUCTION and COMPLIANCE PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Purpose:
The purpose of this Pledge of Principles is to clearly state the legal rules and regulations that affect company activities for officers, providers and employees so that we will understand and apply them in our day to day activities.
General Business Conduct:
We conduct business with integrity and in compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations.
Management and Individual Responsibility:
Officers, directors and supervisors share the responsibility for making sure that employees under their supervision are aware of and comply with the Compliance Program ("the Program"). Each employee is personally responsible for following the policies included through the provisions of the Program and seeking help when needed to avoid illegal business conduct. |
Interpretation:
If you have a question about the Program, that is, how it should be interpreted or applied, it is your responsibility to contact your supervisor, the Legal Department or the Corporate Compliance Officer to obtain clarification and guidance.
Reporting Violations:
Not only are we responsible for complying with the provisions included in this Program, but also for reporting any activity which we honestly and fairly believe may be a violation of any law or regulation or Company policy or any portion of the Pledge of Principles. Reporting violations is required, and failure to report a known or suspected violation can in and of itself be a cause for discipline. To report violations, contact your supervisor, the Legal Department or the Corporate Compliance Officer.
Disciplinary Action:
Violation of any of these policies, failure to report a violation, retaliation against an employee who reports a violation, or a supervisor`s failure to assure that employees under his or her supervision comply with the Program may result in disciplinary action and/or termination of employment for cause.
