Request For Approval Of Outside Employment Form printable pdf download

SUBJECT:

Dual Employment (Outside Employment)

DEFINITION:

Outside employment refers to work that occurs outside of a full-time

County employee's normal working hours.

PURPOSE:

To ensure that full-time employment with the County is the primary

employment and work activity of the County employee. Outside

employment may not create or appear to create a conflict of

interests with the policies and programs of the County. In no event

should the outside employment serve to diminish the effectiveness

of the employee in the performance of County duties.

SCOPE:

Management and Professional County employees engaging in any

outside employment, including self-employment, private

employment, employment with another municipality, town, city or

state government, or non-profit agency or organization. For

purposes of this policy, holding an elected office does not constitute

outside employment.

PROCEDURES:

The employee requests permission for outside employment on the

attached form. The request should be submitted to the employee's

department head and must be completed in full. The department

head should review this request for any potential conflict that may

exist.

The department head recommends approval or non-approval, and

attaches an explanation for either recommendation. The

department head informs the employee of the recommendation.

The information requested in #1, is submitted to the Human

Resources Department.

An employee wishing to appeal disapproval by their department

head must submit the appeal to the Director of Human Resources.

An appeals board composed of the Director of Human Resources

and Deputy County Executive will meet to consider the appeal and

make a recommendation to the County Executive. The Director of

Human Resources will notify the employee of the County

Executive's decision.

If approved by the department head, the Human Resources

Department will review the request with the County Executive. The

County Executive, or her designee, will approve or disapprove the

request. If approved, written approval applies only to the specific

employment situation described. Separate approval is required for

each separate or subsequent employment undertaken.
