1. (a) Purpose. The purpose of this section is to provide procedures regarding applications for and administration of multiple employments with the State of Texas by employees of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (hereinafter, Agency).

2. (b) Definitions. The following words and terms, when used in this section, shall have the following meanings, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

   1. (1) Multiple Employments--Simultaneous paid employment for more than one position with one or more State agencies.
   2. (2) Principal Employer--The Agency is considered the principal employer for all full-time employees.
   3. (3) Additional Employer--For employees whose principal employer is the Agency, the additional employer is the other State agency to which they are applying for multiple employment.

3. (c) Procedures.

   1. (1) Qualifications. Multiple employments with the State are contingent upon there being no conflict between the office of or position with the principal employer and the additional employer. The proposed multiple employments must be of benefit to the Agency and to the State of Texas. Additional employment must not interfere with the performance of duties with the Agency. The employee's work hours or cycle will not be changed to accommodate additional employment unless there is a clear benefit to the Agency.
   2. (2) Application Procedures. Multiple employment may not commence until it is approved by the Texas Board of Criminal Justice. Approval is valid only while the employee remains in his or her current position within the Agency or in the approved additional position. If an employee changes positions or work schedule within the Agency or with the additional employer, a new request and Board approval will be required. The Agency shall establish a procedure for requests to be submitted and processed.
   3. (3) Administration. Upon Board approval of multiple employment, the Payroll Department will coordinate with the additional State Agency payroll department to ensure that there is an official record of Board approval and of the compensation to be received by the employee, including salary, bonus, per diem, or other types of compensation; and compliance with the provisions of the current General Appropriations Act.
