Government Service
-
Government agency protocols are somewhat similar to corporations, however, there is usually no ability to negotiate terms. Protocols are typically standardized and based on employee classification. Unions may also set protocols for those in occupations such as teachers, electricians or sanitation workers.
Public Notices and Celebrations
-
Announcements are typically made in employee newsletters and trade publications in the case of retiring executives. Parties are usually planned by the organization and co-workers. Parties for public service employees often include protocols for who serves as the master of ceremonies and procedures such as the retirement of a police officer's badge.
