No employee may engage in any outside employment which in any manner interferes with the proper and effective performance of his or her official duties, creates a conflict of interest or is deemed detrimental to county service. In the event that an employee’s outside employment adversely affects the performance of county responsibilities, disciplinary action may be taken by the department head/elected official, and may result in separation from county employment. Some department policies may be more stringent than the general county personnel policy and procedures because of legal requirements of the job or other special needs. Supervisors will have such special department policies reviewed by the County Attorney’s office and approved by the Board of County Commissioners prior to their implementation. It will be the responsibility of the individual supervisor or department head/elected official to properly orient the employee of special departmental policies and their potential consequences.
