If an employee is offered an opportunity for outside paid or unpaid work with or for an aps member or any organization, person, or entity whom he/she became acquainted during his/her employment with aps, or with any organization, person, or entity whose work is a potential conflict with the work done by aps, the employee provides the executive director or deputy director with notice before agreeing to take on this activity.
