To establish the college’s expectation regarding supplemental employment for full-time employees.

B.    Policy

The primary obligation of full-time college employees is owed to the college.

In addition, supplemental employment outside of the college must not be performed with the use of college-owned facilities, supplies or equipment.

C.    Procedures

An employee engaged in supplemental employment within the college who is underperforming in their primary position at the college may be subject to sanctions, including not being allowed to continue with the supplemental employment if problems persist.

The college may allow full-time faculty and staff who have the required academic qualifications and have not had performance issues in the past two (2) years, to teach up to two (2) courses per semester, not to exceed eight (8) hours, which are beyond normal work load and responsibilities. Responsibilities related to these courses must be performed outside normal working hours. Permissions and exceptions to the aforementioned must be approved by the employee’s immediate supervisor and the provost.
