The potential for conflicts of interest is lessened when individuals employed by the City regard the City as their primary employment responsibility. All outside employment is to be reported to the employee's immediate supervisor. If a potential conflict exists based on this policy or other considerations, the supervisor will consult with the City Administrator. Any City employee accepting outside employment that the City Administrator determines to be in conflict with the employee's City job will be required to resign from the outside employment or may be subject to discipline, up to and including termination. For the purpose of this policy, outside employment refers to any non -City employment or consulting work for which an employee receives compensation, except compensation received in conjunction with military service, holding a political office, or an appointment to a government board or commission compatible with City employment. The following guidelines apply in determining if outside employment is acceptable: • Outside employment must not interfere with a full-time employee's availability during the City's regular hours of operation or with a part-time employee's regular work schedule. • Outside employment must not interfere with the employee's ability to fulfill the essential requirements of their position. • The employee must not use City equipment or resources in the course of the outside employment. • The employee must not violate any City personnel policies as a result of outside employment. • The employee must not receive compensation from another individual or employer for services performed during hours for which they are also being compensated by the City. • Work performed for others while on approved vacation or compensatory time is not a violation of policy unless it creates the appearance of a conflict of interest. • No employee will work for another employer, or for their own business, while using paid Earned Sick and Safe Time (ESST) from the City for those same hour, unless permitted by law. • Employees may be required to sign an agreement to prohibit outside employment activities within Ramsey. • Departments may establish more specific policies as appropriate, subject to the approval of the City Administrator. City employees are not permitted to accept outside employment that creates the appearance or potential for a conflict with the development, administration or implementation of City policies, programs, services or any other operational aspects. 3.13 Performance Evaluations Performance evaluations are used to assess employee performance in terms of specific job requirements, provide measures for setting up training and development programs, and open channels of communication.

If a formal performance evaluation is completed, it will be reviewed with the employee. 131Page
