3801.103 most components in the Department are designated as separate. This means that an employee would only be prohibited from accepting compensation for speaking or writing on a subject matter related to the policies, programs or operations of his component, not the entire Department. An employee may accept compensation for teaching a course provided it meets these requirements. When engaging in teaching, speaking or writing in a private capacity, an employee may not use nonpublic information, nor should there by any use of his official title except as part of other biographical information or for an article in a scientific or professional journal where there is a disclaimer. An employee may not use official time or that of another employee to prepare materials.
Some components require advance review and clearance for certain written work and speeches.
