CS - Holidays and leave

Holidays

As of May 2021, AAU has implemented a new system for registering absences. The absence solution is called Statens HR (SHR). It records all our absences including sickness absence, holiday, child care days, senior days and maternity leave.

SHR provides a self-service solution that all staff members will automatically receive access to with their employment at AAU. You need to orient yourself as to your own absences and absence balances in the self-service solution. This applies to historical absences, such as previously held holidays, sickness absence, etc. and future planned absences, such as pre-arranged holidays. In the self-service solution, you can also follow up on accrual and balance on holiday, child care days and senior days. You can access SHR via computer or mobile device.

REGISTERING HOLIDAYS

All notified holidays will be registered in the system in advance. Notified holidays can be shifted to other dates during the holiday year by sending an email to holidays@cs.aau.dk.

ALREADY NOTIFIED HOLIDAYS

As soon as possible, we will register the already notified holidays, sent out via mail on 1 September 2023. This includes any changes you might have already requested via holidays@cs.aau.dk.  

SICKNESS ABSENCE

Registration of sickness absence must be reported by sending an email to sick@cs.aau.dk.

After resuming work please send an email to sick@cs.aau.dk with the last date of sickness.

These rules apply for child's first and second sickness days too.

NOTICE OF HOLIDAYS 2023/2024

It is a requirement of AAU's Main Co-operation Committee and also the management's position that taking a holiday during the working year is crucial for maintaining a healthy balance between work and private life, and therefore all employees must make sure to take all accrued holidays.

You will be notified to hold accrued holidays in the holiday period September 1, 2023 - December 31, 2024 (referring to Rules at Aalborg University (taking holidays). This notice is applicable to all employees at the Department of Computer Science.

Notified holidays cannot be canceled.

Notified holidays can be shifted to other dates during the holiday year by sending an email in due time to holidays@cs.aau.dk.

In due time is as quick as possible before the holidays you want to shift.

If you do nothing or do not inform other dates the notified days will then be your record.

IMPORTANT!

  • It is crucial that your holiday record is in accordance with your hour’s record in a project.
  • At all times it is your responsibility to ensure that the number of accrued holidays is recorded as required.
  • Special holidays will be notified in January 2024 and will be pre-registered in week 8, 2024.

As always, you are welcome to ask your question (-s) by sending an email to holidays@cs.aau.dk.

NEW HOLIDAY ACT

As of September 2020, The new Danish Holiday Act has come into force. This means that all employees have now transitioned to concurrent holiday.

However, please always inform HR via mail should you wish to apply for maternity and/or parental leave or if you have questions concerning this matter.
