(a) Every employee shall fulfill to the best of his or her ability the duties of the office or position conferred upon the employee and shall behave at all times in a manner befitting the office or position the employee holds. In performing official activities, the employee shall pursue the common good, and, not only be impartial, but act so that there can be no question of impartiality.

(b) A employee shall not engage in any employment, activity or enterprise which has been determined to be inconsistent, incompatible, or in conflict with his or her duties as a employee or with the duties, functions or responsibilities of the Appointing Authority by which the person is employed.

(c) Each Appointing Authority shall determine and prescribe those activities within applicable laws, which, for employees under its jurisdiction, will be considered inconsistent, incompatible or in conflict with their duties as employees. In making this determination, the Appointing Authority shall give consideration to employment, activity or enterprise which:

(1) involves the use for private gain or advantage of state time, facilities, equipment and supplies; or the badge, uniform, prestige or influence of one's state office or employment, or

(2) involves receipt or acceptance by the employee of any money or other consideration from anyone, other than the state, for the performance of an act which the employee would be required or expect to render in the regular course or hours of state employment or as a part of the duties as an employee, or

(3) involves the performance of an act which may later be subject directly or indirectly to the control, inspection, review, audit or enforcement by such employee.

(d) Each employee shall devote full time, attention and effort to the duties and responsibilities of his or her position during assigned hours of duty.
