Secondary employment

A secondary occupation is the performance of a secondary office or the pursuit of a secondary job.

The following legal provisions are particularly relevant for the performance of secondary employment by employees of the State of Hesse:

  • Sections 40 and 41 of the Civil Servants' Status Act (BeamtStG)
  • Sections 71 to 79 of the Hessian Civil Service Act (HBG)
  • § 3 Paragraph 4 TV-H i. V. m. § 40 No. 2 to § 3 No. 2 TV-H
  • Usage fee for the use of state personnel, facilities and materials in connection with secondary employment (Joint Circular of 28 November 2013, State Gazette p. 1551)
  • Regulation on the secondary employment of Hessian civil servants (Hessian Secondary Employment Regulation - HNV)

According to the aforementioned principles, any secondary employment must generally be reported to the employer before commencement and may require approval. This also applies to the Furtherof an existing secondary employment. Any changes must be communicated to the employer immediately. If secondary employment is undertaken without the required approval, this will be considered a breach of employment duties.
