Using Legal Conflict of Interest
Employees who engage in activities that could potentially conflict with their primary employment duties can disclose these potential conflicts and obtain the legal clearance by submitting a request.
Overview of Legal Conflict of Interest workflow
Employees can submit disclosures using the intake form in the Employee Center or through the conversational interface of Now Assist in Virtual Agent.
The following illustration shows the workflow for submitting and handling legal conflict of interest requests.
- The legal user submits a new conflict of interest disclosure request by selecting the appropriate conflict type.
- The risk assessment evaluates the request and assigns a risk level (Low, Medium, or High) based on the calculated risk score.
- The conflict of interest disclosure request enters a predefined approval workflow depending on the risk level.
- The conflict of interest fulfiller reviews and either approves or rejects the submitted request.
- The final decision is communicated to the employee via email notification.
- A corresponding record is automatically generated in the system.
