Common use of Outside Activity Clause in Contracts

Outside Activity. 30.1 The parties acknowledge that The Monterey County Herald must maintain the public trust and the highest degree of integrity with a strong reputation for fairness and impartiality in reporting the news and its business operations. In order to accomplish this, there are certain safeguards that must apply with respect to outside employment and activities to The Monterey County Herald employees. Employees must first obtain written approval of their division director prior to accepting outside employment. Limitations on outside employment include, but are not limited to: 30.1.1 Employment that conflicts with your work schedule, duties and responsibilities; 30.1.2 Employment that creates a conflict of interest or is incompatible with your employment with the Company; 30.1.3 Employment that impairs or has a detrimental effect on your work; 30.1.4 Employment that requires you to conduct your work or related activities on the Company’s property during your working hours or using the Company’s facilities or equipment; or 30.1.5 Employment that competes with the business or the interests of the Company. 30.2 The Monterey County Herald encourages its employees to be involved in community organizations. However, where such involvements affect or impact, or may affect or impact, the reputation, integrity or appearance of fairness of The Monterey County Herald, written approval of the Division director must be obtained. Employees are encouraged to discuss such involvements in outside activities with their Division director ahead of time, in order to avoid conflicts in the future. 30.3 To further reduce even the appearance of a conflict of interest, employees are encouraged to avoid positions that entail seeking publicity for their group or community organization. Recognizing that it is not possible to foresee all conflicts that could emerge, employees are expected to be alert to involvement that may affect or impact the reputation, integrity or appearance of fairness with The Herald, and, when they surface, bring them to the attention of their Division director.
