3357:15-14-26. Earned compensation outside the college

(A) Full-time employees of Stark state college (college) are obligated to devote their working time and efforts primarily to college activities. Prior approval from the employee's supervisor is required for any earned compensation outside of the college. In most instances that work will be approved in a timely manner, as the college recognizes that a limited amount of earned compensation outside of the college may be advantageous to all concerned.

(B) Such earned compensation must not interfere with the employee's college duties or conflict with the employee's college assignments, and must take place outside of the employee's designated work time. Employees of the college may not use college property or his or her position as an employee of the college for personal gain or to enhance the business opportunities of another individual, company, or organization.

(C) Earned compensation outside of the college shall not result in a conflict of interest or the appearance of such. A conflict of interest exists if financial interests or other opportunities for personal benefit may exert a substantial and improper influence upon an employee's professional judgment in exercising college duties or responsibilities.

(D) Earned compensation outside of the college shall not compete directly with the college or conflict with the mission or standards of the college. The college reserves the right to disapprove of any earned compensation outside of the college that would reflect negatively upon the institution, adversely affect the employee's performance of college duties, or present any conflict of interest.
