The college recognizes the right of employees
to engage in employment opportunities outside the college. However, outside employment
must not conflict with your duties, responsibilities, and regular work schedule at
the college. In situations where your outside activities may create serious and justified
criticism of the college or where the college's reputation is jeopardized, you will
be discouraged from continuing such activities. You may use accrued vacation and
holidays for outside employment if the time off is approved and does not interfere
with the normal operations of the department. You may not use college facilities,
staff ,or other resources in performing work for another employer. Outside employment
must comply with the college-wide Conflict of Interest
Policy.
Consulting Policy
From time to time, employees may be asked to provide
consulting services to other institutions or organizations. From the college's viewpoint,
such consulting should be in areas that will increase your expertise and experience
in your area of competence. Reasonableness and common sense, rather than arbitrary
rules, apply to these situations.
Department heads may approve paid consulting leave of
one day per month for an exempt employee who has an outside consulting opportunity.
The employee requesting consulting leave should complete an Outside
Consulting Approval Form, and both the employee and the department head should
sign it. The department head may take a number of factors into account when considering
your leave request. Consulting leave should not interfere with your ability to meet
the priorities and demands of your position. Matters such as job performance and
operational needs may also be considered. Arrangements that would exceed this time
must be approved by the Office of Human Resources on the recommendation of the department
head.
Incidental use of college equipment may be allowed when
consulting. Any more substantial use must be approved by your supervisor.
Paid or unpaid consulting or volunteer arrangements
can lead to conflicts of interest. For more information, please consult our Conflict
of Interest Policy. Department heads are expected to keep appropriate records
of the amount and nature of approved consulting activity. On a semi-annual basis,
the Executive Director of Human Resources and the General Counsel will request a
listing of paid consulting in the prior six months and will review it for consistency
with policy guidelines. |
