“At the time of hire, the crab compliance manager meets (in-person or virtually) with new employees and reviews the conflict of interest policy. As a condition of hire, employees must attest to uphold this policy along with other professional conduct policies. Employees are responsible for reporting any changes in their conflict of interest status. The policy is posted on the crab intranet for all employees to review and update their agreements annually. All crab employees and directors of the board are asked to complete a conflict of interest form annually. The completed forms are reviewed by the crab compliance manager. Should conflicts be reported, they are reviewed by the crab professional conduct committee (pcc). The pcc is comprised of the compliance manager, at least a crab employee and at least a member of the crab board of directors. The crab attorney will be contacted for consultation as needed. If it is determined that a conflict of interest exists, solutions may include modifying the employee's work activities or asking the employee to discontinue his/her financial ties or responsibilities with the financially interested company.”
