Policy
PIC will comply with all applicable laws and regulations and its employees are expected to conduct business in accordance with the letter, spirit, and intent of all relevant laws and to refrain from any illegal, dishonest, or unethical conduct.
All PIC employees must adhere to the highest standards of ethical and professional conduct in their behavior with families, each other and the public in order to be an example for others, earn individual and program respect and increase credibility.
Practice
- Employees are expected to address any ethical questions or concerns they may have with management and no employee will be retaliated against for raising an ethical concern.
- Employees are expected to demonstrate respect for our clients in their actions, words, and intentions. The agency believes all families have value and strengths even if they are different than our own.
- Employees are expected to abide by the covenants adopted by the agency as a way to work together as professionals. The covenants are as follows:
- All employment and compensation with PIC is on an at-will basis. This means that employees are free to resign their employment at any time, for any reason, and PIC retains that same right.
All statements to the contrary, written or oral made either before or during an individual’s employment can change this. No individual supervisor or manager can make a contrary agreement, except for the Executive Director, and even then, such an agreement must be set forth in a written employment contract with the employee, signed by the employee and the Executive Director.
