50% - Full-Time Employees, including Graduate Assistants:
A. On Dec. 9, 2003, Illinois Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich signed the State Officials and Employees Ethics Act. (“The Ethics Act”). One feature of the Ethics Act is the requirement that all state employees participate in annual ethics training.
A. The Ethics Act defines “employee” as (i) any person employed full-time, part-time, or pursuant to a contract and whose employment duties are subject to the direction and control of an employer with regard to the material details of how the work is to be performed or (ii) any appointee.
A. The training is a self-administered, interactive, one-hour program that is accessed through any computer connected to the Internet. The on-line training consists of lessons relating to: acceptance of gifts, political/fund-raising activities, bribery, solicitation misconduct, official misconduct and conflicts of interest. The training uses scenario-based lessons and self-assessment questions and also contains resource references as well as frequently asked questions.
Please note: The certificate can only be accessed during the 30 day ETCC training period - usually in October.
