Can the holder change employer, work independently, establish a business or conduct other professional activity? What is the family position?

Family: family members of a researcher on short-term transfer (type C) do not need, and will not be issued, a separate Slovenian residence permit; an official notification stating that family members will reside with the researcher is sent to the administrative unit, with proof that the family member's permit from the first member state is valid for the intended stay. The official source does not state whether the researcher may change host, work independently or establish a business.
