Respected Seniors!
Can you please clarify the below query on an urgent basis. I recently found that an employee of our organization is working as an LIC Agent. Is it permissible? According to our policy, no one should be employed other than our organization on a full-time basis. Also, no government employee should work in our organization. LIC is a government organization.
Can you share your inputs on the same? If it is not permissible, what should be the immediate reaction from the HR side? Shall await your quick feedback.
Thanks for your time.
With Best Regards,

If not specifically barred for part-time jobs through the conduct and discipline rules for the employees, you may not be able to impose restrictions on his agency work. You are, however, free to include that barring clause in the CSO and employees' conduct and discipline rules from now onwards.
An LIC agent is not a government employee. He works merely on a commission basis that is allowed to him only on the number of effective insurance proposals.

Devibala,
This depends on the company policy. Many employers will not permit their employees to have dual employment. However, some employers will not mind their employees acting as insurance agents. If his secondary employment as an agent is adversely affecting his performance, then you may need to address it. Even if it is not impacting his work, you may still want to call him and inform him that you are aware of his engagement as an agent and that he is not supposed to engage with other employees for the same.
