Flexitime scheme for technical/administrative staff at SDU

Within this framework, SDU will help to create an attractive workplace that attracts, develops and strengthens staff loyalty. Our aim is to create an active, vibrant workplace where the University’s operational efficiency, academic and social community, and flexibility for staff and managers go hand in hand.

The flexitime scheme is implemented on the basis of comprehensiveness and trust. Part of a manager’s responsibilities is to prioritise tasks and ensure that work is planned in such a way that tasks are completed efficiently and on time, whilst allowing staff to maintain a healthy work-life balance. The manager is responsible for monitoring employees’ working hours to ensure a suitable work-life balance, whilst the employee contributes to this by consulting their line manager if tasks cannot be completed within working hours.

Ongoing dialogue between managers and the employee regarding the performance and prioritisation of tasks is a key factor in establishing clear guidelines, fostering collaboration and boosting engagement. Employees have a degree of flexibility in how they structure their work, including where it is carried out. They are expected to organise their working hours so that departmental needs and tasks are met satisfactorily and service levels are upheld both externally and internally.

The departments at SDU differ in terms of their work tasks, staff composition, peak workloads, deadlines, etc. The agreement has been drawn up with these factors in mind. 

This agreement does not entail any changes to management rights, existing agreements, collective agreements or other rules concerning working hours, additional time, overtime or on-call duties, etc.
