  (a) Outside employment may not interfere with an employee's performance.

  (b) Outside employment may not conflict with the interests of the agency nor the State of Utah.

  (c) Outside employment may not give reason for criticism nor suspicion of conflicting interests or duties.

  (3) Agency management may deny an employee permission to engage in outside employment, or to receive payment, if the outside activity is determined to cause a real or potential conflict of interest.

  (4) The provisions of this rule do not apply when two or more government positions are held by the same individual, unless the personal interest of the individual is not shared by the general public.
