Teachers and other school staff at primary and secondary schools, special schools, schools for the sick and vocational schools (excluding FOS/BOS); notification or application for approval of secondary employment

Civil servants require prior approval to take on secondary employment, unless the secondary employment is exempt from approval under Article 82 (1) of the Bavarian Civil Service Act. In certain cases, approval is deemed to have been granted generally.

The respective government is responsible for approving secondary employment for teachers and other school staff at primary and secondary schools, special schools, schools for the sick and vocational schools (excluding technical secondary schools and vocational secondary schools).

The respective head teacher or, in the case of primary and secondary schools, the respective state education authority is responsible for approving part-time teaching, lecturing and educational work of up to six hours per week.

Employees covered by collective agreements must notify their employer in writing of any secondary employment for remuneration in good time before taking up the activity, stating the type, content and scope. The secondary employment is not subject to the employer's approval. However, the employer has the option of prohibiting secondary employment or imposing conditions if the secondary employment could adversely affect contractual obligations or legitimate interests of the employer. Reasons for prohibition could also be, for example, reasons for which a comparable civil servant would be refused permission to carry out secondary employment.

Official interests must not be impaired by the secondary employment.

Employees covered by collective agreements:

• Secondary employment may only be performed outside regular working hours.
• The secondary employment may not exceed the maximum daily working hours permitted under the Working Hours Act (8 or 10 hours).

For full-time teachers on an employment contract, the so-called quarter rule applies (Section 13 (2) no. 1 of the Teachers' Service Regulations).
