3.2 Ethical Behaviour
Fraud The Company does not tolerate fraud in any form, whether initiated by employees or others. SaskEnergy is committed to investigating all cases of fraud and, where appropriate, will take disciplinary action including referral of the matter to appropriate authorities. All employees have the responsibility to review all transactions prior to submitting/approving expenditures for payment or reimbursement. Any employee who believes that a fraudulent transaction has occurred or is about to occur should report their concern to their manager or the Executive member responsible for Human Resources and/or Legal. Bribery A bribe occurs when someone gives or promises another person something of value to obtain a benefit or favourable treatment. Bribes do not always come in the form of cash, bank transfers or even gifts. They can take the form of anything with value, such as job offers, contracts or favours for family and friends. Offering or accepting bribes and/or kickbacks is illegal, unethical and a violation of the Code. Report any suspicious activities, transactions or alleged violations to the Executive member responsible for Human Resources and/or Legal. What to Remember Honesty with time means a fair day’s work for a fair day’s pay, keeping absences to a minimum, reporting to work on time and generally abiding by work rules in place.
Our Goal SaskEnergy employees are to act with integrity, transparency and accountability in all of their business affairs. Duty to Report Criminal Charges and Convictions If an employee is charged with, or convicted of, an offence that: (i) could impact the ability of the individual to perform their duties; (ii) could negatively impact the reputation of SaskEnergy; (iii) could affect the willingness of other employees to work with the individual; (iv) could pose a threat to the Company’s ability to carry on its business safely and efficiently; or (v) occurs on Company property or in Company equipment; the individual is required to report such charge or conviction as soon as reasonably possible to their manager and the Executive member responsible for Human Resources and/or Legal. Failure to report the charge or conviction as soon as reasonably possible may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination.
