Request for Outside Employment or Enterprise

Pinellas County discourages its employees from engaging in employment outside their regular County employment. However, a second job is allowable under certain conditions.

• Employees cannot work in another job that has a conflict of interest with their duties as a County employee. 
• These steps must be taken to confirm there is no conflict of interest:
  • An employee must submit a formal request for prior approval of outside employment from their Appointing Authority (not their department director). 
  • The Appointing Authority can withdraw permission for outside employment at any time. Upon withdrawal, the employee is required to terminate the outside employment within 15 calendar days.
  • Employees with outside employment should make arrangements with their other employer to be relieved of those duties when and if their Appointing Authority calls them in for emergency service.

You have 3 options:

• Obtain permission in writing from your Appointing Authority or designee.
• Use the Outside Employment form in EBS (OPUS) (select PIN Employee Self-Service and Outside Employment).
• Submit the Request for Outside Employment or Enterprise form.

The request will be placed in your personnel file whether or not it is approved.

• Unified Personnel Board Policy No. 5: Outside or Non-County Employment
