Reporting Outside Employment

City of Mobile (COM) employees engaged in non-COM employment (outside employment) have a duty to ensure their activities do not create a conflict of interest with COM. Effective 09/01/2024, COM employees will be required to report outside employment if the activities meet certain criteria listed in COM Code of Conduct 1.15. This policy does not apply to employees who are in compliance with Mobile Police Department’s (MPD) work permit policy.

If an employee meets the criteria, they are required to submit certain information to the Director of OPR through the OPR portal under Outside Employment submission. Employee submissions will be evaluated by OPR and/or the Legal Department to determine whether there is a conflict of interest, or the appearance of impropriety with the employee’s official duties.
