In the name of the President of the Technological University and the respected Head of the Biomedical Engineering Department, a workshop was held titled:

"Rules of Professional Conduct and Service Law for Employees"

Delivered by:

Dr. Hussein Jameel Muttashar, Administrative Assistant, and Ms. Hiba Raad Abdul Ahad, Assistant Director.

Date: Sunday, February 25, 2024, at 12:00 PM, in Al-Quds Hall.

The workshop was attended by department faculty and staff members.

The workshop covered several key topics, including the fact that an employee's professional life is governed by a set of legal rules. Compliance with these rules can benefit the employee, while non-compliance can lead to harm, either due to ignorance or intentional disregard.

The scientific assistant reviewed the Law of Discipline for State Employees and the Public Sector for the year 1991 and the subsequent changes, particularly those introduced by the Integrity Commission in 2006. These changes have legal implications that could harm employees if they are unaware of them. They may lead to dismissal from employment or violations of criminal laws, resulting in penalties such as imprisonment or confiscation of assets. The workshop also addressed how employees can protect themselves from such penalties and challenge disciplinary decisions.

Furthermore, the workshop discussed common disciplinary actions in the workplace, including warnings, reprimands, salary deductions, demotions, termination, and isolation. The reasons for these disciplinary actions and their consequences were thoroughly explained, with participants engaging in discussions and having their queries addressed.
