[Publib] Genealogy--Outside employment

[Michelle Bradley]

For those of you who have genealogy departments, do you allow your genealogy staff to perform independent genealogy research for hire at the library on their own time?  Do you allow them to perform non-paid research for others on their own time---even if it is the same service that they provide as an employee?  We are drafting an outside employment policy which may address this, however this specifically keeps coming up over the years in our genealogy department.  We are in the process of consulting library counsel regarding this issue, but I am fairly certain that other libraries have dealt with this issue as well, and would like to hear how you have handled it.

Thanks
