Consulting Contracts

Professors at the University (UZH) and the University Hospital Zurich (USZ) often enter into consulting and speaker contracts in a personal capacity as a form of secondary employment. Certain contracting partners require confirmation from UZH or USZ, as primary employer, that it consents to the contract. The issuance of the confirmation is the sole responsibility of the USZ.

Basic principles

Please note that consulting and speaker contracts are concluded exclusively in your own name and therefore must not contain any reference to your activities at UZH or USZ. Only your private data (private address, private e-mail address, etc.) must be included in the contracts. Mention of your function at UZH or USZ (e.g. clinic director) is not permitted.

Liability insurance cover

Please note that your employer policy does not afford you liability insurance cover for secondary employment that you arrange yourself. You must take out your own professional liability insurance in this regard.
