Revisions to PPP-07, Outside Employment and Extra Compensation,  were approved on August 7, 2008 by Academic Council and subsequently approved by Dr. Stanton.  Please read the complete policy at http://www.etsu.edu/humanres/ppp/PPP-07.htm and view the new “Request for Outside Employment/ Consulting” form at http://www.etsu.edu/humanres/forms/forms.htm.   This policy applies only to faculty, administrative and professional ETSU employees.

 

Important revisions to the policy include:

 

  1. On at least an annual basis employees to which this policy applies who plan to engage in outside employment during the term of employment specified in the employee’s contract shall notify appropriate supervisors and the president, or his or her designee, of the nature of the employment and the expected commitment of time. This shall be done using Form PPP-07 Request for Outside Employment.

 

  1. As required by Tennessee Board of Regents Policy 5:01:05:00 prior to accepting an extra assignment, the faculty or staff member shall have the approval of the institution's President or designee.

 

                        a.      At ETSU the employee’s immediate supervisor, such as the department chair, and the person to whom the immediate supervisor reports,

                             such as the dean of the college serve as the   President’s designees.

 

                        b.      Their approval of the extra assignment will be indicated by appropriate signatures on FORM PPP-07 Request for Outside Employment.

 

                        c.       If the immediate supervisor and/or that person’s supervisor refuse to approve the extra assignment the staff member may appeal to the ETSU

                              Faculty or Staff Senate as appropriate which body shall constitute an ad hoc committee to review the appeal and make a recommendation to

                              the President of ETSU whose decision shall be final.

 

Please review the policy for additional information concerning the use of university facilities and overload assignments. Contact your dean’s office or the Office of Human Resources if you have additional questions.
