Request for a concurrent business

Request for a concurrent business

 At the National Institutes of Natural Sciences, if executive officers and employees (excluding part-time employees) wish for a concurrent business or a concurrent holding of position, they must obtain permission in advance based on the permission criteria established in NINS rules.
 When requesting executive officers and employees of NINS for a concurrent business or a concurrent holding of position, please contact the person in charge of each institute of NINS.

  * Concurrent business: When executive officers and employees of NINS concurrently hold a position continuously or regularly, regardless of whether or not they are remunerated
  * Concurrent holding of position: When engaged as a job during working hours without remuneration due to the relationship with the main job

How to make a request

 If you wish to request an executive officer or an employee of NINS for a concurrent business or concurrent holding of position, please download the form "Request and application for permission for concurrent employment and concurrent holding of position", fill out all the necessary information, and send it by email or mail with materials describing the details of the requested job.
 Regardless of the name in the letter of request (President of the National Institutes of Natural Sciences), please send it to the person in charge of the institute to which the executive officer or employee belongs. (For the address, refer to the contact information for inquiries and sending documents, etc.

Timing of request

 As a general rule, do so at least one month before the date you wish to start the concurrent business or concurrent holding of position.
 If the period from the request date to the desired permission date is short, we may not be able to meet the requested date.
 In that case, it will be from the permission date of NINS.

Response from NINS

 As a general rule, we will not send you a written response.
 If a written response is required for the convenience of paperwork, etc., we will send you an email or fax with the permission date entered at the bottom of the "Request and application for permission for concurrent employment and concurrent holding of position", so please let us know at the time of your request.
 In addition, if you need a written response in the prescribed form of the requesting institute, please send the prescribed form by email or mail at the time of the request (if you wish a response by mail, please enclose a return envelope).

Points to consider

  • Executive officers and employees with a fixed term of office will be allowed to engage in a concurrent business or a concurrent holding of position up to the date of the expiration of their term of office at NINS.
  • Prior permission is not required for part-time employees (specified contract employees and part-time contract employees), but please note that they cannot act in a way that violates NINS' Employee Ethics Code.
