Optimising HR services
In May 2020, the Faculty Management decided to improve the quality of appointment processes at Tech. This will be done by optimising the processes between HR and the departments
The following four initiatives will therefore be implemented as of 1 September 2020:
1. Co-responsibility for ensuring that letters of appointment are received before the date of commencement
All new employees must receive an employment contract before they start, so HR must receive the cases from the departments/centres:
- at least 30 days before start date for Danes
- at least 60 days before start date for EU citizens
- at least 90 days before start date for non-EU citizens
2. Fixed appointment dates
All appointments should, as far as possible, start on the 1st or 15th of a month.
3. Duration of appointments
As a general rule, departments may only appoint employees for six months, and this can only be deviated from in exceptional cases after approval by the Head of Department.
4. HR’s prioritisation of employment cases
The following prioritisation has been agreed for all departments/centres at Nat and Tech:
- Permanent member of academic staff
- Permanent member of technical/administrative staff
- Temporary member of academic staff
- Part-time academic staff
- Part-time technical/administrative staff
- Others
If the prioritisation is to be waived, this must be agreed between the Head of Department and HR.
What do we do in AGRO?
In AGRO all requests for employment must follow the above mentioned rules. Employment is started by filling out the form "Anmodning om ansættelse og ophold ved AGRO" (in Danish). The administrative work in the department will start after receiving the form.
