Outside Employment

Employees are permitted to engage in outside work or to hold other jobs, subject to certain restrictions as outlined below.

Activities and conduct away from the job must not compete with, conflict with, or compromise MTSA’s interests or adversely affect job performance and the ability to fulfill all job responsibilities. In addition, employees are not to solicit or conduct any outside business during paid working time.

Employees are cautioned to carefully consider the demands that additional work activity will create before accepting outside employment. Outside employment will not be considered an excuse for poor job performance, absenteeism, tardiness, leaving early, refusal to travel, or refusal to work overtime or different hours. If MTSA determines that an employee’s outside work interferes with performance, the employee may be asked to terminate the outside employment. Violation of this rule will result in disciplinary action up to and including termination.
