Additional or Sideline Employment Contracts under the Existing Legislation of the Higher Education Act

Summary/Abstract: A legal definition of ‘main employment contract’ is conducted in & 4d of the Additional Provisions of the Higher Education Act (HEA), the latter being one of the hypotheses of the main employment relationship in general, e.g. a relationship that arise by virtue of an employment contract concluded between the parties. HEA, prima facie, perceives the duration of the employment contract as leading to the recognition of its supplement as main or additional. The latter differs significantly from the wellknown definition of ‘main employment relationship’ contained in & 1, item 12 of the Labour Code, which in its turn constructs another preliminary criterion for discerning main from sideline employment contracts, e.g. the exact moment those are concluded between the employee and the employer. Attempts to interpret the two provisions above in relation to each other (as specific to genaral), in cases where employment contracts are concluded with academic staff, often result in ambiguous understanding and/or contradictions.
