| Advisory opinion request from Mendy Escudier, on behalf of the East Baton Rouge Parish Coroner's Office, as to whether one of its employees may obtain an exception from the Code of Governmental Ethics in order to continue working with its office on a contract basis after leaving
full-time employment. |
|
|
The East Baton Rouge Parish
Coroner's Office ("EBRPCO") currently employs 2 full-time Sexual Assault Nurse
Examiners and also uses the services of 6 contract nurses on an "as needed"
basis.
One of the full-time nurses would
like to leave her position at EBRPCO to work in a hospital emergency department
but continue to provide services to EBRPCO on a contract basis. EBRPCO would like
to know whether one of its nurses may be granted an exception to the Code of
Governmental Ethics in order to leave her full-time position with EBRPCO and
then continue to serve EBRPCO on a contract basis.
