Teleworking:  

The company has a hybrid remote policy for all employees and is dependent upon the type of position.  This position may be assigned to support a federal contract, or to work in office. The Company’s teleworking eligibility may not apply if the employee is supporting a federal services contract. In this instance, the employee may be subject to federal telework policies and may be required to work onsite in the federal facility when requested.

Position Sensitivity and Risk Designation: Moderate Risk

The position may support federal or state contracts. When required, the employee must at least go through a basic background check that can yield a public trust designation to make sure you are reliable, trustworthy, and suitable for the job. A moderate risk position is likely to produce a fair amount of harm or serious damage to the public’s trust. The agency with whom the contract is with, will ask you for the necessary personal information to start the background investigation process. The amount of information you’ll need to give depends on the contract award. Following the investigation, the agency will make their trustworthiness determination.

Employee Non-Disclosure: 

The employee must sign and attest to the Company’s non-disclosure statement. The employee is responsible for reporting to the Company’s Compliance, Risk and Ethics Officer any conflicts of interest, and/or provide notification of outside employment, or when release of confidential business is shared with external parties.
