Reading Room Document
Continuation of Employee Benefits for Corporate Personnel Performing Advanceman Functions
The document is a memorandum discussing the continuation of employee benefits for corporate personnel performing advancement functions. It explores the implications of appointing an individual as either a special government employee or a regular government employee, and the conflict-of-interest aspects associated with each appointment. The conclusion reached is that if the individual is appointed as a special government employee, they may receive a stipend from their former employer and other company-provided benefits. If appointed as a regular government employee, the receipt of a stipend and other benefits is contingent on whether they are being paid by an outside source in supplementation of their government compensation. The document also highlights the Standards of Conduct applicable to employees in the Executive Office of the President, emphasizing the prohibition of outside activities that may result in a conflict of interest. The questions presented for review include the determination of the individual's appointment status and the implications of receiving benefits from an outside source.
