Sample of our outside employment policy template:
OUTSIDE EMPLOYMENT POLICY OBJECTIVE [COMPANY] recognizes that some employees may need or want to hold additional jobs outside of their employment with the Company. Employees of [COMPANY] are permitted to engage in outside work or hold other jobs, subject to certain restrictions based on reasonable business concerns. MEANING OF OUTSIDE EMPLOYMENT "Outside employment" is defined as any activity such as, but not necessarily limited to, consulting, advising, testing or assaying, performing analysis or examinations, the practice of one's profession, or similar work performed in addition to the official responsibilities of a full-time Company employee. Most outside employment includes compensation, but some volunteer activities may also be included. SCOPE Although we generally discourage outside employment, we understand the need to supplement your income or the wish to take up interesting projects outside of your main job. We want to ensure that moonlighting does not interfere in any way with your job at our Company. This Policy outlines our rules and provisions. This Policy mainly applies to our full-time employees, including those who work flexible hours or compressed work weeks. Salaried, part-time employees who work more than [NUMBER OF HOURS] hours per week for our Company are also included. This Policy applies to lawful activities. Being involved in illegal business (e.g., fraud, drug dealing) will result in immediate termination. We may also take legal action if you use our Company's equipment, resources or information to support any illegal activities. PROCEDURE [COMPANY] applies this Policy consistently and without discrimination to all employees, and in compliance with all applicable employment and labor laws and regulations. The following rules for outside employment apply to all employees notifying their supervisors or managers of their intent to engage in outside employment: Work-related activities and conduct away from [COMPANY] must not compete with, conflict with or compromise the Company's interests or adversely affect job performance and the ability to fulfill all responsibilities to [COMPANY]. Employees are prohibited from performing any services for customers of [COMPANY] that are normally performed by [COMPANY]. This prohibition also extends to the unauthorized use of any Company tools or equipment and the unauthorized use or application of any Company confidential information. In addition, employees may not solicit or conduct any outside business during work time for [COMPANY]. [COMPANY] employees must carefully consider the demands that additional work activity will create before accepting outside employment. Outside employment will not be considered an excuse for poor job performance, absenteeism, tardiness, leaving early, refusal to travel, or refusal to work overtime or different hours. If outside work activity causes or contributes to job-related problems at [COMPANY], the employee will be asked to discontinue the outside employment, and the employee may be subject to the normal disciplinary procedures for dealing with the resulting job-related problem(s). Employees may not use [COMPANY] paid sick leave to perform work for another employer. If an employee's outside employment presents a conflict of interest with [COMPANY], as defined in the Conflict of Interest Policy, or if such outside employment has any potential for negative impact on [COMPANY], the employee will be asked to terminate the outside employment. Fraudulent use of Company sick leave or an employee's refusal to comply with [COMPANY]'s reasonable request to terminate outside employment may result in immediate termination of employment with [COMPANY]. Employees are not allowed to solicit clients or customers of the Company for their outside employment or business interests. ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES The employee shall be responsible for: Being aware of potential conflict of interests and discussing with the supervisor any assignments which may pose a conflict with the Company.
