Prior to becoming employed by any person or entity other than the College, including but not limited to consultative employment and self-employment, all full-time personnel will inform the President of such intentions and, if known, the working days and hours of such outside employment. Personnel shall not engage in any outside employment which would (1) disrupt or interfere with operations of the College, (2) directly compete with the College, (3) impose additional financial burden upon the College, (4) violate the Alabama Code of Ethics for public employees (as set forth in the Code of Alabama), or (5) be of a nature, character, or subject matter such that the outside employment, when considered in the light of the employee’s position and duties with the College, would or would tend to decrease the effectiveness of the employee in performing his or her College employment duties. Outside business should not be conducted during working hours or using College property.
Request for this information is not intended to be used to prohibit outside employment. It is recognized that outside employment may provide an additional level of professional development and experience to an employee that benefits the College. This information is utilized to monitor the potential effect of outside employment on the employee’s job, to determine if any conflict of interest issues exist, and to assure the effective and efficient management and operation of the College. Personnel should contact the Human Resources Director for the notification form. This policy applies to employees seeking political office as well.
