Gratuities and Conflict of Interest

As an MCCD employee, you are subject to the laws and policies which impact all public employees. You are not to show favoritism to particular vendors or providers of services. You are also not allowed to share one vendor's quotes with another.

The acceptance of gifts and gratuities of value from outside interests such as vendors is illegal. When in doubt about the acceptance of gifts that may be considered customary, such as imprinted pens or candy, please contact Purchasing. Remember, the best guideline is DO NOT ACCEPT ANYTHING OF VALUE FROM A VENDOR.

Conflict of Interest deals with situations in which potential business contacts are relatives or others that have involvement with the process. This would include buying from friends or relatives. All employees that may have a potential conflict of interest must complete this Disclosure of Substantial Interest Form. This form must be completed and submitted online annually.

The Legal Department provides resources regarding Conflict of Interest, including the following:
