Grievance denied. The Arbitrator denied the grievance disputing an outside employment request because the grievant's private law practice could potentially jeopardize the agency's reputation. In order to manage his private case load, the grievant had to regularly work on his private cases during the agency's core business hours. Although the grievant typically used approved leave or flexed his schedule to do so, the grievant's practice presented a "continuous risk/threat" that the public would presume that the grievant was using state time for personal profit, consequently injuring the agency's reputation.
