   secret-side-gigs-come-forward-after-scandal/   
      
   At least 300 people have held unauthorized second jobs while working for   
   the city’s Department of Public Health and are only now seeking approval   
   as the city investigates the practice.   
      
   The health department said on Wednesday that it has received 300   
   additional requests for secondary employment since Oct. 21, the day that   
   Jail Health Services director Lisa Pratt resigned from her second job at a   
   city-contracted nonprofit.   
      
   The surge of dual employment applications came after the health department   
   reminded employees of their responsibilities to seek permission for   
   secondary jobs. The city launched an audit of the practice after The   
   Standard revealed that Pratt, a top public health executive, was   
   moonlighting 20 hours a week for the nonprofit Baker Places in violation   
   of city rules.   
      
   The department said that of 304 currently pending applications, 44 are in   
   need of additional paperwork and 260 are under review.   
      
   “In other words, those 300 were violating the law, never asked for   
   permission and are now asking for forgiveness?” said Supervisor Aaron   
   Peskin.“Well shit, somebody call the police.”   
      
   There are 137 health department employees who have an already approved   
   side job for an entity outside of city government, the most of any city   
   department by far. If you add that number to the 304 pending requests,   
   then 441 health department employees work second jobs, making up 6% of the   
   department’s total workforce.   
      
   Meanwhile, the Public Utilities Commission has the second-most employees   
   working second jobs, with 18 employees reporting side gigs, which amounts   
   to 1% of its workers.   
      
   At least 22 health department employees are holding jobs at an   
   organization that is affiliated with, or receives funding from, their   
   department. Those organizations include Instituto Familiar de la Raza,   
   Institute on Aging, San Mateo County as well as seven different hospitals   
   and schools.   
      
   “This seems to be just the tip of iceberg. This is just shocking,”   
   Supervisor Ahsha Safaí said. “How many of them might have an inherent   
   conflict? It’s causing me to have less and less faith in the leadership in   
   the Department of Public Health.”   
      
   Safaí submitted a letter of inquiry to the SF Ethics Department on Tuesday   
   to urge for more oversight of the additional employment approval process.   
      
   The health department said that it’s in the process of revamping the dual   
   employment approval process and working to increase awareness about the   
   necessary guidelines around the practice.   
      
   Employees are barred from working jobs that contradict, interfere or   
   present a conflict of interest with their city job, according to the city   
   attorney’s Good Government Guide.   
      
   In Pratt’s case, her city job running health care in the city’s jails   
   requires her to be on call for the city 24/7, and public record emails   
   obtained by The Standard show her routinely responding to emails for the   
   nonprofit during normal business hours. Pratt earned $123,000 annually at   
   Baker Places on top of her $428,750 city compensation.   
      
   “The department is confident that this new process will ensure greater   
   compliance and reduce confusion among employees about their   
   responsibilities when seeking additional employment,” said the health   
   department in a statement.   
      
   The dual employment practices raised alarm at City Hall after The Standard   
   reported that Pratt was collecting a second salary from Baker Places as   
   its finances were unraveling. Baker Places and Positive Resource Center,   
   its administrative arm, have asked the city for two cash bailouts since   
   the summer and are now in the process of transitioning five of its   
   programs to other providers.   
      
   Pratt resigned from her position at Baker Places in October.
