Consulting while Employed



I have a question related to archival consulting, but with a slightly different twist.  I searched the ARCHIVES' archives and found many posts from previous discussions about archival consulting, but they tend to refer to the type of consultant work that is independent, or what I think of as self-employed consultants, who are making a living doing consulting.  I'm in a situation that I'm sure many of you find yourselves in---happily employed full-time but asked to consult on another project because of your experience in your full-time position.  The main thing I can't determine is whether I should/should not charge a fee above and beyond my expenses.  If I did charge a fee, should my employer be entitled to it if they allow me to consult on the other project during work time?

I'm a little baffled from an ethical perspective and have no guidance from my employer.  In fact, they're kind of looking for me to come up with the guidelines for this.  They've basically given their okay for it.

Anybody have a similar experience?
