UPI Employee Handbook
Standards of Conduct
UPI strives to continuously improve the financial and operational performance of our academic practice plan while conducting our business in compliance with all regulatory standards.
We are committed to comply with all Federal, State, and local laws and regulations. We shall be guided by standards of legal and ethical conduct and will not knowingly take any action that is in violation of any statute, rule or regulation.
We are dedicated to promoting honest and trustworthy practices among our employees, member providers and affiliates. UPI’s internal controls and operating procedures are intended to detect and to prevent, or deter, improper activities. However, even the best systems of control cannot provide absolute safeguards against irregularities. Intentional and unintentional violations of any statute, rule, regulation, policy and/or procedure may occur and may constitute improper activity. UPI is dedicated to the investigation of said activity and commits itself to appropriate resolution.
Whistleblower Protection
UPI is strongly committed to protecting employees from interference with, or retaliation against, a disclosure of improper, fraudulent or illegal activity. This includes prohibiting employees, contractors, subcontractors or other agents from discriminating in the terms and conditions of employment with respect to any employee who provides information to or assists with an investigation conducted by UPI management, Federal regulatory or law enforcement agencies. You may anonymously and confidentially communicate issues and concerns associated with unethical or illegal activities at www.ethicspoint.com.
All employees are required to read and abide by UPI compliance plans and related policy. Please refer to UPI’s “Compliance Education” link found on the intranet.
