Secondary employment

Last changed: 25 November 2025

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

Reporting obligations

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

The reporting obligation applies from January 2026, regardless of whether you have secondary employment 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 wants it to be assessed.

General rules

As a general rule, secondary employment is allowed, provided that the following rules are complied with:

  • 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.
