Registration and alteration of vacation and special holidays

Agree vacation days and special holidays, or changes hereof, with your supervisor and send an email to absence@phys.au.dk cc your supervisor, with details of:

- Which days to delete

After confirmation you will see the registrations on AU’s absence registration system.

IMPORTANT: We do not use the self-service feature in the absence registration system “mitHR”. Therefore, you must send an email to absence@phys.au.dk and cc your supervisor.

In September/October, the standard holiday is mass registered as pr. staff letter information that is distributed pr. e-mail after the mass registration.

Also keep an eye out for IFA-NEWS approx. 3 times a year.

We recommend keeping the staff letter for future reference.
