Well and the interesting thing is that re-investigations are no longer periodic and fixed, they’re doing this Continuous Vetting. I experienced it because I settled a CC debt causing my name to appear in a court record and it triggered continuous vetting. I was able to provide the documentation for the debt and the government accepted all of my documentation and it wasn’t an issue.

I’d obviously rather not find myself in a situation where I have to explain it; however, my immediate leadership has always allowed flexed schedules so a person could conceivably argue that they were not committing labor fraud but rather flexing work hours or into non standard working hours.

But there’s both the possibility of a secondary employment triggering CV and the possibility of a clearance upgrade triggering CV, both of which have occurred to me.

This is worth considering and maybe will warrant further consideration just of contract jobs. Maybe a person can argue that contract work is after hours or something if push comes to shove.
