(A) Purpose. The city does not encourage employees to work at positions outside the city service and retains the right to not allow employees to maintain certain outside employment.
(B) Policy/certain outside employment prohibited.
(1) Full-time employees may not engage in paid regular outside employment which might in any way hinder their objective and impartial performance of their public duties or impair their efficiency on the job. Such employment shall not interfere with the employee’s job with the city. Approval may be denied, by the City Administrator, where among other things, it appears that the outside employment might; physically or mentally exhaust the employee to the point that their performance may be affected; require that any special consideration be given to the scheduling of the employee’s regular work hours; present a conflict of interest with the employee’s city duties.
(2) This section does not apply to volunteer work. One who has been denied approval by the City Administrator may appeal this decision to the City Council.
(C) Notification. Before accepting outside employment, full-time employees must first submit a statement to the City Administrator stating:
(1) Name, address and phone number of the other potential employer;
(2) Description of job to be taken; and
(3) Expected number of hours that the employee will spend on the job.
(D) Waiver. Full-time employees who engage in outside employment must sign the following waiver:
“The undersigned, an employee of the City of Dayton, does hereby waive and release said city from any liability, expense or cost because of any injury or sickness incurred by reason of any employment accepted by the undersigned other than as an employee of said city. During an absence caused by an injury or sickness incurred by reason of non-city employment, I waive any claims against the city for wages or other benefits excepting therefrom my rights to use previously accrued sick leave. I also agree to provide the City of Dayton with notice of any injury or sickness which results from my non-city employment by notifying the City Administrator.”
(E) Compliance. Failure to comply with this section is cause for discipline under § 33.17 of this chapter.
