Bandwidth Conservation The Utilities uses the Internet for a number of key Utilities functions. To ensure sufficient bandwidth to perform these functions, the Utilities has implemented a variety of bandwidth conservation measures. These measures include blocking websites that have no instructional or administrative value. Employees may not use Internet radio stations for casual listening and/or background music. Employees may not download music or video files from the Internet. Employees who violate any of the guidelines may be subject to disciplinary action including, but not limited to, written warnings, revocation of access privileges and termination of employment. 17. SUPPLEMENTAL EMPLOYMENT The Utilities does not restrict employees from engaging in outside employment. However, the Utilities expects regular full-time employees to consider Utilities work their primary employment. No Utilities employee may engage in outside employment that interferes with the performance of his/her duties with the Utilities, that represents a conflict of interest or creates the appearance of a conflict of interest, or that may influence or bias an employee’s job related decision making ability. The Utilities will not change an employee’s work hours to facilitate the scheduling of any outside employment. No employees of the Utilities may use Utilities equipment, resources, or staff in the course of outside employment. If a supervisor believes an employee’s outside employment is detrimental to the Utilities and his/her position, the employee may be asked to discontinue the outside employment. If an employee is asked to discontinue outside employment and fails to do so, he/she may be subject to discipline up to and including termination. Utilities employees must not receive compensation from another individual or employer for services performed during hours for which the employee is also being compensated by the Utilities. No employee of the Utilities will work for another employer or the employee’s own business while using paid sick leave from the Utilities for those same hours. Fire Department Participation 85
