Annual Requests for Outside Employment
Outside employment is defined as any paid activity such as, but not necessarily limited to, consulting, advising, testing or assaying, performing analyses or examinations, the practice of one's profession, or similar work performed in addition to the official responsibilities of a full-time employee. Some volunteer activities may also be included.
Outside employment forms should be reviewed and approved at the beginning of each new fiscal year.

Staff
Outside employment forms for classified and A&P staff are final approved in the Office of Human Resources.
Only Outside Employment forms that require second-level approval (e.g. Vice Provosts and Deans) should route to the Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost for processing. After approval, staff in the Provost’s Office will forward the Outside Employment forms to HRS for FINAL APPROVAL.

Outside Employment Requests for staff must be reviewed and approved annually at the supervisory level. But, note that Staff requests that were previously approved by HRS do NOT have to be resubmitted to HRS, except when the Request has changed or the employee’s position and duties at UT Austin have changed. See Change in Review Process Letter (PDF).
