Started a business. Got a question

[Rodsmash]

I just formed an LLC for a small property management company my wife and I started. I know you're supposed to ask for permission to get a second job. Am I supposed to tell someone about this? If so who?

 

[the inquirer]

You are not required to ask for permission.

 

[ClearanceClarence]

It’s in the contract that you can have side jobs so long as there’s no conflict of interest. No permission necessary

 

[CF]

As long as it’s not an ethics issue you’re fine.

 

[Rodsmash]

Thanks for the responses everyone.

Wrong. Wrong wrong wrong.
Whatever manager is spewing this crap needs to read the contract.

ARTICLE 94
OUTSIDE EMPLOYMENT​

​

Section 1. In accordance with 5 CFR 2635.101(b)(10) and (14), 2635.801(c), and FAA Order 3750.7, outside employment in general is permitted so long as it neither conflicts with official government duties and responsibilities nor appears to do so. Employees are permitted to engage in outside aviation employment so long as the outside employer does not conduct activities for which the employee's facility or office has official responsibility.



The Agency shall maintain a list of ethics officials on the Office of the Chief Counsel (AGC) website with whom employees may consult for determinations of the propriety of an outside employment opportunity.



Section 2. Should an employee submit a written request for prior approval, it will be acted upon as soon as possible, generally within thirty (30) days of receipt. When the employee accepts outside employment without prior approval due to the Agency's failure to respond within thirty (30) days to his/her written request for a determination of propriety, the Agency will take this into consideration should disciplinary action later be contemplated.



Section 3. If prior approval is given and it is later determined that such employment is inconsistent with the provisions of Section 1, the following shall apply upon written notification to the employee:



If the outside employment is specifically prohibited by law, the employee shall cease the employment immediately.

There’s a lot of computers available at centers

I don't care if there is 1 or 100, you shouldn't be using them for anything besides ELMS. What is this "center" you speak of? doesn't the world revolve around my little level 4 tower?

Congrats on the business! I myself started a business as well (I have not started with FAA yet). But my particular business is automotive. I will eventually end up either relocating it or adding a location near my facility.

I am assuming you or your wife have previous prop management experience? This may be a good idea especially for new arrivals to your facility that need a place to stay.

He means personal business. Anything done on a government computer is fair game for the FAA to see. Nothing done on one is protected. So yes we all use it for things we have to do, but for personal things use a phone hotspot or computer with Natca WiFi if available.
