In accordance with Public Service Commission (PSC) Directive 22/09 Gifts and Benefits, the Department of Education (the department) is required to record all gifts and benefits received or given by employees in excess of $150, and to publish this information under the Right to Information regime within 10 calendar days of the end of each quarter.
The department's gifts and benefits procedure outlines the issues and risks associated with an employee accepting a gift or benefit that affects or is likely to affect the performance of their official duties.
The procedure also describes the steps that should be followed when any gift or benefit, including hospitality, with a fair market value of more than $150, is offered or received.
