Outside Courses Sample Clauses
The "Outside Courses" clause defines the rules and limitations regarding an individual's participation in educational courses or training programs that are not provided or sponsored by their primary institution or employer. Typically, this clause outlines whether prior approval is required before enrolling in such courses, and may specify restrictions based on potential conflicts of interest, time commitments, or relevance to the individual's primary responsibilities. Its core function is to ensure that outside educational activities do not interfere with the individual's obligations or create conflicts, thereby maintaining focus and protecting the interests of the primary organization.
Outside Courses. Workers are encouraged to enroll in outside courses in order to increase job knowledge and efficiency. Workers are also encouraged to attend conferences appropriate to their positions. (See Professional Growth Award, Section 8.5.) If a worker and the supervising manager can make mutually agreeable arrangements for making up lost time, a worker may enroll in a class, typically on one of the campuses, during normal working hours. If a supervisor recommends that a worker enroll in a specific class in order to improve efficiency in the present position, the District will reimburse the worker after the class has been completed for any fees and/or books required for the class. If a supervising manager requires a worker to enroll in a class, the worker will receive released time for attendance if necessary and reimbursement for all fees and/or books required for enrollment in the class.
