The total price is $9.95 per video plus shipping. (Please see attached video order form listing shipping charges.)  Following is a description of the video. Get Advice or Pay the Price (2005).   Have you ever had an employee who tried to do the right thing and have that very thing be wrong - so wrong that he violated the ethics rules?  Sometimes good intentions can get employees into trouble.  This 7-minute video shows how an employee ended up being investigated by the Inspector General's office even though his actions saved the government money.  The video challenges employees to recognize some warning signs of unethical behavior and reminds them to seek ethics advice if they need help sorting through a situation.  Designed to be shown as part of an instructor-led annual ethics training session, viewers get a chance to discuss the facts of this case as the situation unfolds.             Please complete the attached video order form and forward to VideoFiles via fax, 703-524-1627.
