- Approval for ongoing OE is required annually by January 31.
- Changes to previously approved OE or new requests must also be submitted through the application.

- Recommendations from the Division Chief/Manager are forwarded to the Fire Chief for final approval.
- The Fire Chief's decisions can be: approved, conditionally approved, or disapproved.
- Conditional approvals depend on the employee’s leave usage; repeated issues may lead to disapproval of future requests.
- Employees can appeal any conditional approval or disapproval to the Fire Chief.
- The Fire Chief will communicate the decision via email to both the employee and their Division Chief.
- Under Miami-Dade County’s AO 7-9, employees cannot hold dual employment in multiple county positions without specific authorization from the Budget Director.
Outside Employment Statement
