Section 14. Holidays: Add thereto: " when a Holiday falls on Saturday, the preceding Friday shall be observed. " Section 7. That a new Section be added to Rule XI to be designated Section 16 to read as follows: RULE XI Section 16. Incompatible Employment: Any permanent employee desiring to accept employment in addition to his City employment shall secure the approval of the Department Head and the Personnel Officer. No such approval shall be given if the em- ployment is incompatible with his City responsibilities. The incompatability may arise from either the time of work on the outside and its possible effect upon availabilities for City employment; from the nature of the work on the outside which might give rise to possible conflict of interest or to a public belief that a conflict of interests would exist; or from the nature of outside employment sufficiently fatiguing or hazardous as f to reduce the prospects of availability for City employment when and as needed and in proper physical condition to perform the duties required. In interpreting this in- compatibility it shall be recognized that many City positions require the availability of employees at times additional to their normal hours of employment. Section 8. That Rule XIV, Section 1 be amended to read as follows: RULE XIV Section 1. Discharge: An employee in the competitive service may be dis- charged at any time by the Personnel Officer for cause. Such discharge shall be made by the Personnel Officer upon recommendation of the Department Head concerned. Any employee who has been discharged shall be entitled to receive a written statement of the reasons for such action and to a hearing if he so requests, as provided in the personnel ordinance and these rules.
