All employees have the right and duty to take holiday. This applies to both technical-administrative and academic/scientific employees.

Remember to register your holiday by deadline May 1

Any remaining holiday must be registered before mid-November. You will be reminded on Innsida. 

In addition, reminders are automatically sent from the Self-Service Portal on 1 May to employees who have not registered any holiday and 1 September to employees who have more than 15 paid holiday days left

Change registrated holiday/vacation | Help filling out the change form (DFØ)

In consultation with yourleader, you can change the dates and lengths of already approved holiday leave. Use the same holiday form and delete any holiday leave you will not take, and then apply for new leave. You request will be sent directly to your manager. 

Transfer holiday/vacation | Help filling out the transfer application (DFØ)

It is possible for an employee and a manager to enter into a written agreement (deadline November 15th) to transfer up to 14 days to the next year. Remember that as an employee, you do not have the right to transfer 14 days, since this must be agreed upon with the manager. The manager has the right to instead require you to take the holiday leave this year.

Apply for advance on holiday leave | Requirements

You can apply for up to 10 business days of holiday leave in advance, with the deadline of 15 November each year. You must have used up all holidays in this year's quota (paid and unpaid) before you can apply for an advance on holidays. It is not possible to apply for an advance on paid holidays as long as you have unused unpaid holidays left.
