Those who have an obligation to report secondary employment must submit a report even if they do not have any secondary employment. If you are a non-academic staff member, you need only report secondary employment if requested to do so by your manager or if you are unsure whether the secondary employment is permitted and wish to have an assessment.
Secondary employment is to be reported in Primula, no later than 31 March.
What applies regarding secondary employment?
The general rule is that as an employee, you decide over your own free time, and secondary employment is allowed. Secondary employment may not, however, undermine confidence as defined by the Public Employment Act (Swedish acronym LOA), nor may it be considered competition or to impede work according to central collective agreements. When reporting secondary employment, you must describe it in a way that enables your manager to make an assessment of whether it is permitted or not.
If your secondary employment is deemed to undermine confidence, you must cease immediately. If you think that the University has made an error in its assessment, you can appeal the decision. You will be informed about how to make an appeal in the University’s decision that you are required to cease your secondary employment. If the secondary employment is deemed to constitute competition or impede work, the secondary employment is to be terminated after the employer’s decision.
