Do not send a leave of absence form if you are going on a leave from your position in order to hold another position internally at NTNU. Instead, your manager or local HR employee sends information about your new contract via NTNU Hjelp.
What types of activities are not eligible for leave?
Predictable absences, as moving, planning days in school and kindergarten, or a family confirmation or marriage, do not qualify for leave. Instead you should use vacation days or time off in lieu of pay.
