Which form is used to request outside employment for an employee?

• A. W-4
• B. I-9
• C. G-4
• D. G-843

Answer: (D)

When you’re considering taking on work outside your current job, you need formal clearance to prevent conflicts of interest and ensure your primary duties aren’t affected. The form used to request that outside employment is specifically designed for that purpose: it collects details about the proposed outside work, including what the job is, how many hours you’ll work, where and when, and any potential conflicts or security concerns. It then routes to your supervisor and/ or an ethics office for review and approval before you begin the outside job. This formal process protects you and the agency by making sure there’s no overlap that could compromise performance or confidentiality. The other forms serve unrelated purposes (tax withholding, eligibility to work, etc.), so they aren’t used to authorize outside employment.
