External work
It’s time to register and / or update your external work. The University Board has decided that all employees at UiB, regardless of the job category and position fraction shall register the tasks they have outside of UiB. The intention is that there should be full transparency both for people both inside and outside UiB about employees’ potential links. The list of external work is therefore publicly available.
It is emphasized that it is entirely legitimate and also desiraable that UiB employees have external work. But all external work is to be registered. You do the registration in Paga.
What external work should be registered? Read the manual here
As one of the largest departments at UiB, K2’s cards are often looked at. Last year we were checked in terms of the number of K2 employees who had registered their external work.
Many had not done this. This year there is a clear order that this is happening. I therefore expect that everyone registers their external work within October 21st at 4:00 PM.
It’s easy to do and takes most of us under 15 minutes. For those who do not have external work to register, send an email to Ingvild with the following text. “I have no external work”
If you are in doubt about the registration of external work, contact Julie
(NB: Read the instructions first!)
