SHERIFF’S POLICY MANUAL 2.16 PAYMENT FOR PERSONAL INJURY/FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY: 2.16.1 Payment for Personal Injury: Employees will not accept or agree to accept anything as payment for personal injury or property damage incurred in the line of duty without first notifying the Sheriff, via chain of command, unless per a lawfully instituted legal action. 2.16.2 Financial Responsibility: A. Employees should not undertake any financial obligation they know or should know they are unable to meet and pay all just debts when due. Prolonged or severe instances of financial irresponsibility may be cause for disciplinary action. B. Filing a voluntary bankruptcy petition will not, by itself, be cause for discipline. Financial difficulties from unforeseen medical expenses or personal disasters will not be cause for discipline, provided a good faith effort to settle all accounts is being undertaken. 2.16 09/12/2013 SHERIFF’S POLICY MANUAL THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK 2.16 09/12/2013
