30.B.5 Dual Employment
Dual employment occurs when an employee who holds a full-time (100%)
position in one area works additional time in another department
or classification. Dual employment in excess of 100% must have prior
approval from the Requesting Department, the employee’s Home
Department, Human Resources, and, if an academic position is involved,
the Associate Vice Chancellor for Academic Personnel and must meet
any of the following conditions that apply:
If the primary appointment is Non-Exempt:
If an employee works full-time (100%) in a classification that is
non-exempt and then works additional hours, all hours worked in
excess of 40 hours in a workweek will be paid at the premium rate,
regardless of the exemption status or classification of the dual
appointment. Alternatively, a full-time (100%) employee may request
that his/her Home Department Head approve a voluntary reduction
of the current position by the percentage necessary to accommodate
the dual appointment.
The employee must report all hours worked without exception. If it is not possible to report all hours worked, a request for dual employment will not be approved.
If the primary appointment is Exempt:
Dual employment in excess of 100% of full-time may be approved when:
a. An employee is to teach a University Extension course with teaching
and related job duties performed outside the employee’s regular
schedule;
OR
b. It is impractical to employ another person; the additional appointment
will not exceed a total of 12 calendar months; the time worked on
the additional appointment will not be detrimental to the employee’s
health nor affect performance adversely; and the employee’s
full-time department head agrees to the arrangement.
If an employee works full-time (100%) in a classification that is exempt from premium overtime and then works additional hours in a classification that is subject to premium overtime, the additional hours are paid at the straight-time rate provided that the additional hours spent performing non-exempt duties total less than 20%. If the additional hours are 20% or more of the total hours worked in a workweek, all additional hours are paid at the premium rate.
If the dual employment involves an Academic position:
Employment beyond 100% involving an academic position will not be
approved except in rare and unusual circumstances. A full-time employee
wishing to also be employed in a teaching position will normally
either:
a. Reduce the current position by the percentage necessary to accommodate
the teaching position;
OR
b. Teach on a without-salary basis.
Criteria for MSP (Managerial and Senior Professional) Employees:
An MSP employee who is appointed at 100% time shall not receive
additional compensation from the University for any work or services
which are related to the primary MSP appointment, regardless of
the source or type of payment. This restriction includes by-agreement
payments, honoraria, or any other form of payment for services,
including work done for other UC campuses. Exceptions to this policy
may be granted for teaching regularly scheduled University Extension
courses.
