IF YOUR OUTSIDE WORK CREATES A CONFLICT OF INTEREST OR OTHERWISE INTERFERES WITH YOUR ABILITY TO MEET CCHFH'S WORK REQUIREMENTS, YOU MAY BE ASKED TO TERMINATE THE OUTSIDE EMPLOYMENT. IF YOU HOLD OUTSIDE EMPLOYMENT, YOU MUST CONTINUE TO MEET THE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OF YOUR JOB. YOU SHOULD CONSIDER THE IMPACT THAT OUTSIDE EMPLOYMENT MAY HAVE ON YOUR HEALTH AND PHYSICAL ENDURANCE.
