Conduct, Attitude and Demeanor. Employees are expected to conduct themselves in their official relations with the public and with their fellow employees in a manner, which will enhance public respect for, and confidence in the employee and in the Commonwealth as a whole. They must not only perform their duties in a wholly impartial manner, but must avoid any conduct, which gives the reasonable basis for the impression of acting otherwise. Specifically, all employees shall avoid any action, which may result in or create the reasonable basis for the impression of: (1) using public office for private gain; (2) giving preferential treatment to any citizen; (3) making work-related decisions contrary to agency/departmental policy; (4) using one's official position to harass, intimidate or exploit any person or entity inside or outside the course of official duties; (5) using one’s official position to obtain a private advantage to which the employee is not otherwise entitled or in disregard of the best interests of the Commonwealth and/or its clients or consumers.
