Second Job Policy: It is required that any and all earned income that you would be continuing be disclosed to The Company prior to an offer or employment. Outside employment must not, in the eyes of The Company, constitute a conflict of interest, interfere with employee safety, interfere with employee’s jobs, or be harmful to The Company in any way. Will you have any outside earned income sources you will be continuing even if employed by The Company?
