Compliance and Ethics: Doing you part for the Gator Good!

It will soon be time to take the required Compliance and Ethics Training. All UF employees must take this training upon hire and every two years thereafter. The training is currently getting updated and will be launched in October with a new name: Compliance and Ethics: Doing your part for the Gator Good! This training will provide an overview of employees’ compliance and ethics responsibilities including conflicts of interest, financial stewardship, and reporting expectations. It will also review important provisions of the Florida Code of Ethics.

The current training (Compliance: A Collaboration for Success!”) will be de-activated. If you are a new employee, you will not need to take this training until October. If you are a current employee and received a reminder e-mail about taking the training, please ignore it at this time. You will be notified via e-mail when it is time to take the training.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at UF-Compliance@ufl.edu.
