What is a sideline job?

A ?sideline job? ("external work" in the self-service portal) is defined as work performed and assignments and offices held in addition to the employee’s ordinary university position, whether paid or unpaid. Work performed through an undertaking or company that is wholly or partially owned by the employee is also considered a sideline job.

Sideline jobs may be categorised as follows:

  • those that are not permitted under any circumstances,
  • those that are not permitted without UiO's prior approval,
  • those that are subject to registration only,
  • those that are subject to both registration and prior approval by UiO,
  • those that are permitted and require neither registration nor approval.

If you are uncertain which category your sideline job falls under, please see Section 5 of the regulations.

If you are an academic employee or an employee with budgetary authority and are uncertain whether your sideline job is subject to registration, please see Section 6 of the regulations.?
