Question

Hi Fellow HR Practitioners,

I would like to add a clause "Conflict of Interest" in our appointment letters and employee handbook. May I know what are the details that can be indicated?

Thanks in advance.

We use the following clauses:

1.1  Employees should avoid any personal, financial or other interests that might hinder their capability or willingness to perform their job duties. Paid work of any type that employees may have outside their job must not cause a conflict of interest with their duties inside the Company. Employees should truthfully declare to the Company any relationship that may influence the integrity of their employment or business activities.

1.2  No employee is allowed to participate in, or influence, the purchase/sale of goods or services from/to any company in which that employee has a direct or indirect financial interest.
