Compensation first and second cycle education

Do teachers from other departments and schools participate in any of your courses? The management coordinators are a support in the work of gathering information and establishing any agreements.

Contact and guidance

If you have questions or encounter problems filling in the forms, you are welcome to email the information to ledningskoordinator-abe@kth.se . To proceed, we need information about:

  • Course and the nature of the assignment
  • Who performed the assignment and the person's department
  • Date of assignment
  • Scope and amount (stated either in number of hours and hourly rate, or as a lump sum)
  • Any invoice reference, if the assignment involves another school

Options for compensation (more information further down the page):

Minor contributions (under 100,000 SEK)

For these contributions, no agreement is required, unless the course-owning unit itself wishes. Any agreement can be made via email and does not need to be signed.

ABE-internal basis for minor contributions at ABE
(e.g., when a teacher from another department at ABE has given a lecture or supervised a thesis).

Other KTH schools: basis for minor contributions with other schools at KTH
(e.g., when a teacher from another school at KTH lectures in an ABE course).

The management coordinators handle the compilation of information. Form responses are verified with the responsible division head before each tertial closing (end of November, end of April, and end of August). They are then sent to finance for further processing.

Major contributions (over 100,000 SEK)

For courses owned by ABE, we prepare an agreement and handle signing. As far as possible, we want to make an agreement that is valid until further notice and therefore not specific to a certain semester. Outcomes per semester are then verified via email between participating departments/schools. The agreement should be established and signed before the assignment begins.

We need:

  1. Course code, course name, and assignment (teaching, component, grading, etc.)

  2. Contact persons from participating schools/departments

  3. A formula for how compensation is calculated based on the number of students, alternatively, a lump sum per semester or what percentage of the course revenue goes to each unit. Get help from your economist for support with calculations.

  4. Invoice reference to the person who approves the invoice if the agreement is with another school at KTH.

For courses owned by other schools, each school is responsible for the documentation. The management coordinators are a support in following up on this when needed.

External person who will invoice or receive a fee

When an external lecturer is invited to lecture, we need to know who will perform the assignment, how they should be compensated, for what, and how much. If a person will invoice, we need to know who is the invoice reference for the assignment. We handle approval via email, inform about the payment procedure, and keep the documentation with us. If it concerns a fee recipient, we involve Service and Event for further handling.
