No employee is to accept a part-time position including an officer or director or consultant of an outside business concern (except charitable organizations) unless prior approval in writing has been obtained from Human Resources. The ‘Directorship, Consultancy or Employment outside Abacus' form can be obtained from Human Resources.
The approval will be subjected to yearly review by Human Resources to determine if such approval shall remain in effect. The employee is to supply all information requested in order to expedite in the making of such determination.
If at any time a change occurs which might adversely affect the Company, or when demands of work are such that it is extremely difficult for the employee to perform the outside job without serious impairment to his/her work performance, or when the employee’s performance declines in both quantity and quality, the employee will be requested to discontinue one of the jobs.
