If it is required that you have to be tested in connection with your work for example an official journey, the test will generally be during your normal working hours, and the time spent should be registered as such. 

If you have to be tested for reasons other than in connection with your work the test will be in your spare time.

As a rule, vaccination against Covid-19 should take place outside working hours, see the rules for medical appointments.  

As usual, you should notify your manager of illness and absence in accordance with your unit’s guidelines. You are not obliged to provide information about the nature of your illness, but in this special situation, you are encouraged to inform your manager if your illness is likely to be a result of coronavirus/COVID-19. 

Absence due to illness will be registered as usual.

In the periode 23 November 2021 to 28 February 2022 parents with children who have been sent home as a result of COVID-19 can receive parental benefits for up to 10 days of absence per child, cf. section 26(a) of the Act on Entitlement to Leave and Benefits in the Event of Childbirth (barselsloven).

It is a condition that:

• Your child is under 14 years of age.
• Your child has been sent home as a result of cases of infection with COVID-19 in childcare centres, schools or institutions, or that your child is infected with COVID-19.
• You – (both parents, if they live at the same address) – cannot work from home.
• You – (both parents, if they live at the same address) – have used any time off in lieu.
• You do not receive pay or take holiday on the days in question.

You must present documentation to Udbetaling Danmark – the Public Benefits Administration to show that your child has been sent home, or present a COVID-19 test which shows that your child is infected with COVID-19. Aarhus University must inform Udbetaling Danmark – the Public Benefits Administration that you cannot work from home and that you do not have time off in lieu available, and that you do not receive pay or take holiday during the same period. Benefits can only be disbursed to one parent per day and only for full days of absence.

Compliance with the general terms and conditions in relation to benefits entitlement, including the employment requirement, in the Act on Entitlement to Leave and Benefits in the Event of Childbirth (barselsloven) is required. Absence must be reported by Aarhus University via www.virk.dk.

You should pay special attention to the general advice from the health authorities on reducing the risk of infection, including strict hygiene and distancing. You do not have to work from home. This is because the authorities don’t assess the risk of infection in the workplace as higher than in society in general.

In special cases, you and your manager may agree relocation to other assignments or working from home on the basis of a doctor's certificate.  

In principle, agreed/scheduled holiday must be taken as planned.

The normal holiday rules still apply. You can find additional information about the general rules here.
