This means that you, as a manager, can:

FAQ

Approval of holiday and absence

Why do I receive staff member’s holiday requests and absences for approval?

You receive holiday requests and absences because your are registered as the staff member’s line manager in mitHR. You have the option of delegating approval to another person by agreement.

Can I delegate approval of holiday requests and absences to more than one person (for example, all the staff in the secretariat)?

No. Unfortunately, you can only delegate an approval workflow to one person.

Use of mitHR

What HR-related administrative tasks can I perform in mitHR?

Managers can perform a variety of HR-related administrative tasks in mitHR.

  • Approve holiday requests
  • Approve absence
  • SDD dialogues

Why is recruitment not included in mitHR?

Because AU had already selected Emply Hire before the decision to implement mitHR was made, AU will continue using Emply Hire in connection with recruitment.

How will mitHR be rolled out across the university?

mitHR will be rolled out in the administration and at the faculties in different phases.

  • The administration will use all of the self-service functionalities in mitHR from 1 March.
  • The faculty management teams have decided how their academic departments and centres will implement and use mitHR.

What should I do to equip my staff to use mitHR?

As a manager, you are responsible for:

  • informing your staff how mitHR will be used in your unit – in other words, what HR-related administrative tasks will be performed in mitHR, and what your staff will be expected to do differently going forward. For example, whereas staff may have previously requested holiday or registered absences by writing an email or filling out a spreadsheet, they will now be expected to request holiday and register absences in mitHR
  • making sure your staff know who their primary go-to person is in the event that they need help using mitHR.

Why has AU chosen mitHR as its new HR management system?

mitHR replaces AU’s former HR system, AUHRA. mitHR is a solution that can be used by everyone – staff with HR functions as well as all staff and managers in the administration, at the faculties and at the departments and schools.

The goal is to simplify working with HR-related administrative tasks across the university, reduce the need for tailored solutions and improve the overall quality of HR data.

mitHR is a well-tested standard solution from Oracle that complies with AU’s requirements with regard to security, user-friendliness and basic HR functionalities. The solution is integrated with the state-sector salary system and is used at other Danish universities and in many large organisations and companies, both in Denmark and the rest of the world.
