| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c | We send out an annual HR Policies Acknowledgment to all staff and require acknowledgment from each person each year, as well as upon hire. This Policies Acknowledgment includes the WSECU Code of Conduct, which covers our conflict of interest policy. We enforce the conflict of interest policy in various ways. Depending on the particular conflict for employment conflicts, we require a notification to HR of any second jobs and approval by the employee's leader. For potential conflicts of employees working with relatives, we require a Senior Management approval before we hire, promote, or transfer anyone who might be working with a relative of a WSECU employee. If we are notified of other types of conflicts, we deal with them as they arise, involving company leadership. Conflict questionnaires are signed annually by the board of directors. If a potential conflict is identified, it is reported to the board, which then reviews all information and determines if an actual conflict exists. Directors with the potential conflict recuse themselves from voting on any related issues. Our policy has assisted us in prohibiting conflicts before they impact the company. |
