8 New Employee Information

In addition to the HEDCO Institute requirement of reading this manual, the University of Oregon requires certain forms and trainings for new employees. Much of this can be found under the New Employee Onboarding Checklist.

8.1 Conflict of Interest

The university is supportive of outside activities that advance the mission of the university. If you participate in any outside activities that may include a conflict of interest or conflict of commitment, you are required to disclose these activities and you may need prior approval from the university before engaging in these activities. Please see this page for more information. Staff who have been with us for a while will need to repeat the conflict of interest form if anything changes and each calendar year. We recommend that you submit the form if you are at all unsure whether an activity is exempt.
