Secondary Employment
		All new employees must declare any secondary employment as part of the hiring process. In requiring disclosure of secondary employment, it is not the intent to discourage or limit participation in secondary employment by Judicial Branch employees. However, the citizens of North Carolina must have confidence and trust that the duties of the Judicial Branch will be carried out in a fair, objective manner, without bias or favoritism. Consequently, no Judicial Branch employee may hold a second job that impairs, in any way, their ability to perform the duties of their Judicial Branch employment or that creates a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest or that reflects adversely on the dignity and integrity of the Judicial Branch. Secondary employment is any employment, other than the employment with the Judicial Branch, in which a Judicial Branch employee chooses to engage. Secondary employment includes, but is not limited to other public sector employment, private sector employment, self-employment, ownership of a company, or other role in a company involving direct or indirect compensation A Secondary Employment Disclosure and Approval Form is found later in this orientation. The hiring authority will review secondary employment declared by new employees. Unacceptable secondary employment must be resolved either by withdrawing the offer of employment, or production of evidence that the employee has terminated the secondary employment. Subsequent to employment, employees must declare secondary employment before beginning any secondary employment and submit it through their immediate supervisor to the hiring authority for approval.
