Purpose:

To establish broad behavioral guidelines within which all employees are expected to conduct themselves while working.

 

Policy:

Employees and volunteers will conduct themselves at all times in such a manner as to create respect for themselves, as public servants, and the jurisdiction they represent.

 

Employees and volunteers will place public interest above individual, group, or special interests and will consider their jobs as an opportunity to serve the Citizens of Wintergreen, Nelson and Augusta Counties.

 

Employees and volunteers will not discriminate because of race, color, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, handicap, political affiliation, or national origin.

 

Employees and volunteers will at all times, be fair, courteous, respectful, and impartial.

 

Employees and volunteers will refrain from using their position for personal gain and will keep confidential all information not available to all citizens. The same shall apply to interdepartmental information not available to all employees of the department.

 

Employees and volunteers will not drink any alcoholic beverage or take any drug that might incapacitate an individual while on duty in accordance with the Wintergreen Property Owners Association Employee Handbook.

 

Employees and volunteers will, when in public, clearly distinguish/identify between all statements and actions made as an individual and as a representative of the department, keeping in mind it is often very difficult to make a clear distinction.
