: Page 49 Any dispute between an employee and the City relative to the application, meaning or interpretation of these personnel policies will be settled in the manner outlined in Appendix I - Grievance Policy. ARTICLE 17 OUTSIDE EMPLOYMENT FOR FULL AND PART-TIME EMPLOYEES The potential for conflicts of interest is lessened when individuals employed by the City of Hugo regard the City as their primary employment responsibility. All outside employment is to be reported to the employee’s immediate supervisor. If a potential conflict exists based on this policy or any other consideration, the supervisor will consult with the City Administrator. Any City employee accepting employment in an outside position determined by the City Administrator to be in conflict with the employee’s City job will be required to resign from the outside employment or may be subject to discipline up to and including termination. For the purpose of this policy, outside employment refers to any non-City employment or consulting work for which an employee receives compensation, except for compensation received in conjunction with military service or holding a political office or an appointment to a government board or commission compatible with City employment. The following is to be considered when determining if outside employment is acceptable: • Outside employment must not interfere with a full-time employee’s availability during the City’s regular hours of operation or with a part-time employee’s regular work schedule. • Outside employment must not interfere with the employee’s ability to fulfill the essential requirements of their position. • The employee must not use City equipment, resources or staff in the course of the outside employment. • The employee must not violate any City personnel policies as a result of outside employment. • The employee must not receive compensation from another individual or employer for services performed during hours for which they are also being compensated by the City. Work performed for others while on approved Personal Leave is not a violation of policy unless that work creates the appearance of a conflict of interest. • Departments may establish more specific policies as appropriate, subject to the approval of the City Administrator. City employees are not permitted to accept outside employment that creates either the appearance of or the potential for a conflict with the development, administration or implementation of policies, programs, services or any other operational aspect of the City.
