The Institute recognizes that its staff members have skills and talents that may be valuable to Institute community members outside their own departments. Applying such skills and talents can benefit not only the individual staff member, both financially and by improving their skills, but also the Institute through the sharing of needed talents and by increasing internal collaborations.

Staff members who engage in work for other individuals affiliated with the Institute must ensure that these activities occur outside their normal work hours and do not interfere with their primary duties or work schedule. Moreover, such staff members must ensure that any activities outside their normal duties do not conflict or appear to conflict with the interests of the Institute. If a staff member wishes to engage in such after hour activities, he or she should disclose the intended relationship with his/her supervisor prior to participating in any such activities. For additional guidance please see the Conflict of Interest policy.

Work engagements which are performed outside of normal and defined Institute-compensated time are strictly between the individual employee and the outside entity. The Institute will not participate in arrangements of transactions or disputes of any transactions.

If you have any questions or need additional guidance on this policy, contact the Manager of Human Resources.
