Classified employees shall not be excused during their regularly scheduled duty day to perform outside employment unless, upon receipt of the employee’s leave request, the supervisor determines:

• The requesting employee has adequate leave time available;

• The requesting employee’s absence will not interfere with regular work operations; and

• The leave is approved prior to the requested leave being taken.

The supervisor may approve leave without pay for extraordinary circumstances.

Except as otherwise specified above, classified employees shall not engage in outside employment which interferes with their job duties or responsibilities.
