The work of the Town will take precedence over
other occupational interests of employees. All outside employment
for salaries, wages, commission and self-employment must be reported
to the employee's supervisor, who in turn will report to the Town
Manager or an appropriate Town official for review. The Town Manager
or the appropriate Town official will review such employment for possible
conflicts of interest and/or impact upon the efficiency of the employee.
Such request will be placed in the employee's personnel file located
in the Town Manager. Conflicting outside employment or outside employment
which inhibits an employee's efficiency will be grounds for disciplinary
action, up to and including dismissal. Findings, approvals, and denials
of said outside employment requests shall be documented in writing
to the employee and the employee's personnel file.
An employee shall not engage in any activity
or enterprise which is incompatible with his/her duties as a Town
employee as determined by the department head of the department in
which he/she is employed. The following activities shall be considered
incompatible with Town employment:
A. Any activity or enterprise which involves the use,
for private gain, of the Town's time, facilities, equipment, supplies,
badge, uniform, prestige or influence of a Town office or equipment.
B. Any activity or enterprise which involves the receipt
or acceptance by the employee of any money or other consideration
from anyone other than the Town for performance of an act which the
employee would be required to render in the regular course of Town
employment or as part of his/her duties as a Town employee.
C. Any activity or enterprise which involves the performance
of an act in other than his/her capacity as a Town employee which
may be later subject, directly or indirectly, to the control, inspection,
review, audit or enforcement by such employee or the employing agency.
D. Any activity or enterprise which involves the employee's
time such that it impairs attendance or efficiency in the performance
of duties as a Town employee
