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

Register your holiday by May 1

Any remaining holiday should 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

Register your holiday/vacation | Help filling out the holiday application (DFØ)

When you have cleared your holiday with your leader, you register your holidays in the Self-service portal. 

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 the employee and manager to enter into a written agreement on the transfer of up to 14 days to the next year. Remember that you as an employee do not have a right to transfer 14 days since this must be agreed with the manager. The manager has the right to instead order you to take your holiday this year. The deadline for registering this in the Self-Service Portal/DFØ app is 15 November, but your manager may demand clarification of this at an earlier stage.

You can see your submitted applications for transfer of holiday in the Self-Service Portal (Employment status - List of all submitted forms - Transfer vacation days").

Apply for advance on holiday leave | Requirements

You can apply for up to ten 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.
