Page 44 - NWF November Updates

If your supervisor determines that your outside work interferes with performance or the
ability to meet the requirements of NWF as they are modified from time to time, you may be
asked to terminate the outside employment if you wish to remain with NWF.

If the outside employment might constitute a conflict of interest, your supervisor shall advise
your Departmental Vice President of the outside employment. The Vice President shall review
the situation and may decide to waive the conflict or you may be asked to terminate the
outside employment if you wish to remain with NWF.
You may not receive any income or material gain from individuals outside NWF for materials
produced or services rendered while performing your job at the NWF. Under the copyright

law, any written work or other tangible product you produce during the course of your
employment for NWF belongs to NWF and not to you.
Except as outlined below, honoraria and stipends that are offered to you for performing
duties or services which are set forth in your job description belong to NWF and should not
be personally accepted by you. If you perform a service for a third party at NWF's request

and an honorarium or other payment is offered to you, the payment should be directed
instead to NWF.

If you are presented with the opportunity to be offered an honoraria or stipend, you must
disclose the service and amount of the award to your supervisor in advance by completing the
"Notice of Intent to Accept Outside Employment or Honorarium." Your supervisor will then
consult with your department's vice president to make a recommendation to the Human

Resources department on your request.

In considering your application, the following issues should be reviewed:

• Overall work performance;
• Amount of interference with the performance of your job and arrangements which need
to be made for others to complete your work in your absence;
• Degree of conflict of interest and extent to which this service is a part of your regular
duties;
• Impact of requested work on your NWF job;

• Level to which you are performing this service based on your individual knowledge and
abilities or on behalf of NWF and the work you complete;
• Point to which you are representing yourself as an NWF employee or as an individual;
• Frequency of accepting previous honorariums or stipends;
• Time required to complete request and paid leave available;

Amount of honorarium or stipend.

NWF recognizes the professional value gained for individuals to occasionally perform work or
services of this nature. Honorariums and stipends are incentives for career development and

individual growth. Please consult the Conflict of Interest Policy for more information.
