Quiz: Are You in Danger of Breaking the Rules for Holiday Gift Giving in Federal Offices?

Federal employees are subject to restrictions on what they can give and receive.

There's nothing like a nice gift basket to lift spirits in the office during the holiday season. Federal employees should think twice, however, before digging into that box of expensive chocolates or that bottle of wine from a contractor.

The Office of Government Ethics has published guidelines on gift giving to help federal employees sort through the various restrictions.
