New Jersey City University Faculty Handbook
PERSONNEL POLICIES, PROCEDURES, AND PRACTICE
The primary work obligation of a full-time employee (faculty member, administrator, or classified employee) is to New Jersey City University. All regular or continuing outside employment of a full-time non-bargaining unit employee during the regular work year must have the prior and continuing written approval of the President or his designee. All full-time bargaining unit employees shall report all such outside employment on forms provided for such purpose.
No full-time non-bargaining unit employee may perform part-time work of any kind for another public institution or agency unless such part-time work conforms in all respects with the above and, in addition, has the approval of the chief executive officer of the public institution or agency for which it is to be performed. If such part-time work exceeds any of the limitations established above then the full-time and part-time employers should agree upon the share of the employee's full-time salary that each will pay. These guidelines shall not apply to outside employment undertaken by a full-time employee during his or her annual leave or vacation periods, except that no such employee may engage at any one time in outside employment that constitutes a conflict of interest.
These guidelines shall not apply to outside employment as defined in N.J.S.A. 18A:6-8,2. Such outside employment, however, should be reported to the President or his designee as a matter of record:
NOTE: The intention of the third paragraph above is to differentiate between outside employment which may be regular or continuing and which therefore requires the written approval of the President or his designee or the outside employment which may be irregular or infrequent and which therefore does not require such approval. Regardless of whether a specific instance of outside employment need be approved under these guidelines, it must in each instance meet the three requirements of paragraph two above.
It is difficult to clearly define "regular or continuing," as opposed to "irregular or infrequent," outside employment. Each employee is therefore responsible for making this judgment in a reasonable manner which is consistent with the spirit of these guidelines. The following examples of outside employment activities which may be classified as "regular or continuing" are given in order to illustrate the intent of the guidelines and are not meant to be an exhaustive listing of such activities.
- Any teaching assignment at another educational institution except for a single or limited number of guest lectures.
- A clinical or professional practice (for example, in clinical psychology or law).
- Appointment as a consultant to a school district, corporation or other public or private enterprise for an indeterminate period even if actual time demands are intermittent.
- Operation, or management of, or employment in any enterprise related or unrelated to a faculty member’s professional interest.
