Model Clause on Outside Employment

1
For the purposes of this article, "outside employment" means:

(i) employment in any capacity by another employer
(ii) consulting
(iii) personal services contracts
(iv) private practice of the member’s profession
(v) self-employment

2
Members have the right to engage in outside employment provided that such employment does not conflict with their normal academic duties and responsibilities. A conflict does not exist when a member satisfactorily fulfils their academic duties and responsibilities as defined in this collective agreement. 

3
Members shall have the right to use the employer's resources or facilities for outside employment in accordance with guidelines developed by the member’s academic unit.

4
Members shall have the right to state the nature and place of their employment, rank and title(s) in connection with outside employment and to use their university address as a mailing address so long as they do not purport to represent the employer or to speak on the employer's behalf unless specifically authorized to do so.
