3.1 Conflicts of Interest
Outside Employment and Work for Volunteer Organizations Employees owe their primary employment allegiance to SaskEnergy. Employees involved in outside employment or self-employment must declare all such involvements to the Corporation by completing and submitting the appropriate form to the Legal Department to review whether a conflict of interest situation exists. Employees may engage in outside activities such as a personal business, a second job, board service or community work provided it does not:
Political Activities The Code does not limit an employee’s right to be an active participant in politics if they so choose. Employees shall not participate in political activities during working hours, or on SaskEnergy premises, or in a manner that may otherwise interfere with their duties. Leaves for the purpose of seeking public office will be granted in accordance with the applicable legislative rules and corporate policy. Employees should not make or recommend the contribution of SaskEnergy's funds, property or services to any candidate for or holder of office of government at any level, nor should employees make such contribution with personal funds in the name of SaskEnergy.
cause an actual or apparent conflict of interest; appear, by the way in which it is performed, to be an official act or to represent SaskEnergy or the Government of Saskatchewan; interfere with their time, attention and exercises required in the performance of employee’s regular duties; involve the use of SaskEnergy premises, assets, equipment, or supplies; involve activities that might damage SaskEnergy’s business or reputation.
