This webinar training will discuss how to complete the financial disclosure statement for senior staff.
“Senior staff” refers to any employee paid at the senior staff level, which is $131,239 for calendar year 2020. In general, senior staff employees are required to complete two ethics trainings in order to satisfy the Committee’s training requirement.
- New senior staff must complete new employee ethics training within 60 days of beginning House employment and complete a second hour of specialized “senior staff” training before the end of the 116th Congress.
- Existing senior staff must complete one hour of ethics training during each calendar year and complete a second hour of specialized “senior” staff training before the end of the 116th Congress.
- Existing employees who start 2020 at a salary below the senior staff rate, but receive a raise such that they become “senior staff” must complete the second hour of specialized “senior staff” training before the end of the 116th Congress
Note: Senior staff employees who completed a second hour of specialized “senior staff” training during the 115th Congress are required to take an additional hour of specialized “senior staff” training before the end of the 116th Congress.
