Prior to 2018, obtaining the simple agreement, when required by LSC
regulations, was the responsibility of the managing attorney for the unit
or office. In 2018, this responsibility was transferred to the Human
Resources Administrator to ensure this document and others were
timely obtained and placed in the employee’s personal file. Based on
these findings, all current employees, for whom a simple agreement was
not in the personnel file, were required to sign the agreement or submit
a copy of the agreement they previously signed. All current employees,
required to sign the simple agreement, have one on file. Human
Resources will continue to obtain the agreements as part of the new
employee onboarding process.
