Hello, Does your institution have a policy that restricts the number of hours employees (staff, NOT faculty) may engage in outside activities, specifically outside employment?
For example, Jane Doe is a full-time, benefits-eligible, exempt employee appointed to a 40 hour work week (typical M-F, 8-5). If Jane wants to supplement her income by working at a grocery store in the evenings and/or weekends, do you place any restriction on the number of hours she can spend per week partaking in outside employment? Let's say Jane wants to work 8 hours on Sat and Sun for a total of 16 hours per calendar week. There is zero conflict of commitment; her supervisor states that Jane still successfully fulfills her obligation to the university. Is this allowable at your institution? Anything you can provide would be helpful. Thanks in advance! Heather Heather M.
