The Code of Ethics & Professional Conduct
This is designed to provide a standard of moral behaviour by which program participants are expected to govern themselves.
Our best recommendation for testing the propriety of any action is to ask yourself, “If this particular activity were to be known by the general public, would I still engage in it? Or, would doing so bring dishonour upon myself, my family, and the outstanding reputation of this program and the Country Club?”
Regarding the Laws enacted by the United States of America:
Participants are obligated to comply with all applicable Federal, State, and Local laws and/or regulations. While it is not practical to list all laws to which individuals are subject, the following violations shall provide example:
Underage consumption of alcohol – the legal age for the consumption of alcohol in the United States is 21 years
Trespassing on private property
Theft of or damage to public property (i.e. stealing traffic signs, breaking windows, graffiti)
Theft of private property (i.e. jewellery, money, valuables)
Falsifying information provided to government agencies (i.e. Immigration & Naturalization, Internal Revenue Services, Social Security Administration.)
Regarding the Rules and Regulations enacted by the Country Club:
Participants are obligated to comply with and uphold all policies and procedures of the Club. While it is not practical to list all policies and procedures to which individuals are subject, the following violations shall provide example:
Damage to Club property (i.e. crashing a golf cart, carelessly breaking equipment)
Theft of Club property (i.e. unauthorized consumption of food, unauthorized telephone calls/internet use, outright stealing of food, liquor, china, silver, etc.)
Drinking while on duty
This Code is not the exclusive source of the Club standards or policies and should be regarded as an addition to all other Club rules and regulations. Nor is this Code entirely inclusive-no one statement can satisfactorily cover all questionable situations and circumstances.
Nevertheless, certain criteria are helpful in determining the propriety of a particular activity. Most individuals have a keen awareness of “right” and “wrong” and possess enough common sense to act accordingly. Representatives of the Country Club or Workaway International are neither your guardians nor your keepers. You and you alone are responsible for your conduct and your own physical well-being.
Please Note:
As an adult (18 years or older), if you are arrested and/or incarcerated for any reason, neither the employer nor Workaway International has the authority or obligation to act as your legal guardian.
