Can I work elsewhere while I’m on furlough leave?
Staff on furlough leave are permitted to carry out paid work elsewhere. However bear in mind that the University may request you return to work at any point during your furlough leave, with one week’s notice to return. You should seek permission from your line manager before taking on paid employment elsewhere, as required in your contract of employment. You must not carry out any work for the University or subsidiary companies whilst on furlough leave.
