<h3> Policy </h3>
 
 
:1.  The University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) declares and affirms a policy that encourages employees to engage in professional activities outside UNMC as a means of broadening their experience and keeping them abreast of the latest developments in their specialized fields.  Employees may be employed by other external organizations or at other institutions provided such activities do not interfere with their regular duties at UNMC or create a conflict of interest (see UNMC Policy No. 8010, Conflict of Interest). Employees who consult for the same company they conduct research for may create significant conflicts of interest.  Such activities are not recommended.
 
:2.  UNMC must be considered the employee’s primary employer. While the Outside Employment policy is not intended to restrict an employee’s personal rights, UNMC employment will take precedence in all matters involving work issues.  Outside employment will not be considered a valid reason for absenteeism, tardiness, or poor job performance.
 
:3.  Full-time Academic and Administrative and Managerial Professional Staff shall complete an Application for Authorization to Engage in Outside Professional Activity form prior to engaging in outside professional employment.  Part-time Academic and Administrative and Managerial Staff are not required to complete the form.
 
:4.  The Application shall be reviewed by supervisory personnel.  Vice Chancellors, Deans, Directors, and Department Chairs have primary responsibility for reviewing the specific nature of each proposed outside professional activity within their respective areas of responsibility.  They may deny approval for any activity that would interfere with normal UNMC duties or  that would create a conflict of interest.
 
:5.  Applications shall be forwarded to the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Compliance Department for final campus review by the Chancellor/Vice Chancellor or his/her designee.  Applications requiring Board of Regents approval will be forwarded to Central Administration.
