OUTSIDE EMPLOYMENT

All full-time employees are required to report all regular or continuing outside employment activities. Engagement in outside employment activities are not precluded per se. N.J.A.C. 9:2-10:1 et seq. stipulates:

A full-time employee of a public institution of higher education or the department may engage in outside employment only if the outside employment does not:

1. Constitute a conflict of interest.

2. Occur at a time when the employee is expected to perform his or her assigned duties.

3. Diminish the employee's efficiency in performing his or her primary work obligation at the institution or department.

Article XII, Section D of the negotiated agreement between the State of New Jersey and the Council of New Jersey State College Locals, NJSFT- AFT, AFL-CIO reads as follows:

    1. All regular and continuing outside employment shall be reported to the President no later than promptly upon acceptance and thereafter on an annual basis.

    2. The reporting form shall be completed by the employee and shall include the following information:

      a. Name of Employee

      b. Name of outside employer

      c. Description of work to be performed

      d. Normal hours, dates of work and any anticipated exceptions

      e. Licenses or special requirements necessary to perform the duties involved.

 

Information pertaining to additional income is not to be included. The function of this reporting system is not to restrict the employee's ability to undertake outside employment or to restrict earning potential. It is, however, important that the University and the employees are assured that any outside employment is not in conflict with the provisions stated above.

Professional employees, not included in any collective negotiations unit, will also be required to complete an Outside Employment Form.
