Outside Employment

Bryant University recognizes that employees may be employed outside of the University. Such employment is permitted as long as the outside employment does not:

• Coincide or conflict with the employee’s hours of work for the University;
• Conflict with the employee’s University job responsibilities;
• Cause an employee to arrive late for, or leave early from, any scheduled shift or work hours in the University job;
• Constitute a conflict with university interests;
• Occur on University property or utilize University resources

Employees engaged in outside employment activities are also bound by the requirements of Bryant’s non-solicitation policy, which prohibits employees from soliciting during their work hours and during the work hours of other employees, and from distributing literature or other materials during their work hours and during the work hours of other employees.

If an employee is unsure whether their outside employment is prohibited by this policy, the employee should, in the first instance, discuss the outside employment with their immediate supervisors.

Exceptions to this policy are only valid if approved in writing.

Compliance with this policy is the responsibility of the employee. When a supervisor has reason to believe an employees outside employment is a violation of this policy, the supervisor shall consult with the Human Resources Department.
