Holidays and absence

As an employee at Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering, you must follow the procedure below when you want to take holiday and special holidays.   

The senior management team strongly encourages employees to take all holiday, including special holidays, during the holiday year if at all possible. All monthly-paid employees earn 2.08 days of ordinary holiday and 0.42 days of special holiday per month.

Absence

Sickness and other types of absence (child's day of illness, childcare day, etc.) must be registered in mitHR.

You are no longer required to send e-mails about absence to Fraværspostkassen.

Long-term sick leave (over 28 days), both full-time and part-time, is still required to send an email to the Fraværspostkassen with registration of their sick leave days.

Standard registered holidays

At CAE we standard register your holiday - see the standard periods for this holiday year in the right column. 

Standard registered holidays can't be deleted, only moved!

To change a holiday that has already been planned, please follow the procedure below:

  • The change must be reported before the holiday begins.
  • A new holiday period must be specified. The number of days you wish to change must be equal to the number of days registered.
  • The change is to be made in mitHR
  • The change must be submitted to the secretariat for approval, and it is assumed that the new holiday period has been approved by your immediate supervisor before you make the change in mitHR. You will receive a receipt when the change is approved.
  • Please direct any questions to fravaer@cae.au.dk

Can't add a new holiday?

Then it's because the holidays are used at the standard registered holiday. You need to change the days in the standard registered holiday period to get enough days to take a new holiday.

Example: There is standard registered a holiday periode from July 17th to August 4th. But you would like to take a new holiday of 5 days in the end of June. First you need to subtract 5 days from the standard registered holiday period and send the request. And then you can take a new holiday period with the 5 days.
