Secondary employment

Last changed: 20 September 2025

Secondary employment is any work carried out alongside your regular employment at SLU.

Reporting obligations

All teachers, according to SLU’s employment regulations, as well as managers who are part of the local management group, must annually – and no later than March 31 – report secondary employment in Primula self-service.

The reporting obligation applies from January 2026, regardless of whether secondary employment exists or not.

Other employees are only required to report secondary employment if requested by their manager, or if the employee is uncertain whether the secondary employment is permitted and wishes to have it assessed.

General rules

As a general rule, secondary employment is permitted, provided that the following rules are respected:

  • Secondary employment must not constitute competition with SLU’s activities.
  • Secondary employment must not impair the employee’s work.
  • Secondary employment must not adversely affect SLU’s image, or in any way undermine the public’s trust in SLU.
