Outside work. <br /> (i) Compensated Activities <br /> Employees who hold other jobs in addition to their job here must inform their <br /> supervisor of their outside employment. Job performance must not be affected due to <br /> outside employment responsibilities or schedules. Additionally, employees are <br /> cautioned against engaging in outside employment that may run counter to the <br /> philosophy and mission of, or create direct competition for,this organization. <br /> Employees who are asked to consult by other outside entities may do so only with the <br /> written permission of the Executive Director, under the auspices of IFC, and via a <br /> contract for services between IFC and the outside entity. Any fees received for such <br /> consulting are the property of IFC. <br /> (ii) Volunteer/Uncompensated Activities includingLcivic/electoral involvement. <br /> The IFC encourages its employees to volunteer their non-employment time and <br /> efforts to civic, charitable, and political causes of their choices.
