§ 307.735-304 - Employment after leaving Peace Corps.

(a) Employees may negotiate for prospective employment with non-Federal Government organizations only when they have no duties as Peace Corps employees which could affect that organization's interest, or after they have disqualified themselves, on the written permission of their supervisor, from such duties.

(b) For 1 year after leaving Peace Corps, no regular or special employee may serve pursuant to a personal or nonpersonal services contract or other agreement or accept employment with a Peace Corps contractor for a position in which he or she would be working in any activity supported in whole or in part by Peace Corps funds received under a Peace Corps program which was within the boundaries of the employee's official responsibility or in which he or she participated personally while employed at Peace Corps. This 1-year ban shall not apply to those overseas employees whose positions are converted to personal services contracts at the convenience of the Peace Corps as determined jointly by the Associate Directors for International Operations and Management.

(c) If, within 1 year after leaving Peace Corps, an individual accepts employment in violation of this rule, Peace Corps will disallow the costs allocated under the contract or other agreement for that position. In addition, a letter describing the violation will be placed in the personnel files of the former employee and the requiring office current or former staff member(s) responsible for issuing an individual personal or non-personal services contract.
