What qualifies an employee as an in-house lobbyist? What are the criteria?
An in-house lobbyist is an employee whose lobbying activity on behalf of the employer organization (either individually or counted with other employees) amounts to 20 per cent of one staff member’s full-time work as assessed over a three-month period. This applies to both individual employees and groups of employees conducting lobbying activities. For example, given a five-day workweek, an employee or group would qualify as an inhouse lobbyist by spending 12 working days on lobbying activity over a three-month period; two employees working six days each would meet this requirement.
