Moonlighting Feds Could Be Risking Their Jobs
January 11, 2019
In the Nextgov article titled "Moonlighting Feds Could Be Risking Their Jobs," Debra Roth, partner at Shaw Bransford & Roth, cautioned that furloughed federal employees seeking secondary employment during government shutdowns might violate agency policies, potentially jeopardizing their federal positions. Debra emphasized that many agencies require prior approval for outside employment, and obtaining such approval can be challenging during shutdowns when ethics officials are also furloughed.
